10月8日,体育新闻传来消息,据《The Athletic》披露,独立审查小组在英超对曼城涉嫌财务违规的诉讼中,确认了该俱乐部存在广泛的财务失实行为。曼城坚决否认任何不当行为,并已向法院提起上诉。与此同时,英超官方尚未公布对其的处罚决定。
经过深入调查,发现从2009年到2018年,曼城通过一系列伪装的资金操作,将阿布扎比联合集团(ADUG)的资金伪装成商业赞助款。在此过程中,俱乐部虚报收入并低估支出,累计金额高达9.214亿英镑。具体而言,这些伪装的赞助资金总额为8.307亿英镑,这一数字占据了俱乐部同期账面总收入的29%,以及商业收入的73%。
在实施策略中,曼城与阿布扎比的本地支持者达成赞助协议,金额远超市场合理水平。赞助商仅支付基础费用,而高额的标示资金实际上由ADUG承担。尽管如此,曼城将合同的全部金额计入商业收入,以此来减少账面亏损,规避财政公平的限制,从而能够继续大量投资于引援和构建冠军级别的阵容。阿提哈德航空作为最著名的赞助商之一,在上周公开表示,正在考虑对英超提起诉讼,以否认其参与了任何不规范的商业交易。
Moreover, the so-called "Fordham Arrangement" has been deemed a fraudulent transaction, functioning as a conduit for ADUG's financial operations. The club utilized this entity to conduct player image rights deals, artificially inflating transaction prices and reallocating salary expenses. Over a span of nine years, Manchester City's financial statements were enhanced by a total of £73.9 million (comprising £24.5 million in revenue and £49.4 million in cost savings). This initiative is part of the "Longbow Project," which was initiated in 2012, with the original intent of complying with UEFA's Financial Fair Play regulations.
回顾报道,曼城过去曾公布其收入以惊人的速度攀升,在2020/21赛季即便面临疫情挑战也实现了盈利,一度位居全球足球收入榜次席。然而,委员会的最终判决揭露,该俱乐部在商业收入方面所呈现的显著增长,实际上源自其所有者秘密的资金注入。
费兰・索里亚诺,曼城首席执行官,公开表示对裁决结果的不赞同,他在内部视频中将其描述为“英超的阴谋论”。俱乐部坚称,他们掌握着不容置疑的证据,并已着手启动上诉程序。
在2023年,英格兰超级联赛对曼城提出了新的指控,这些指控不仅涉及2009至2018年间球队的财务欺诈行为,还涵盖2018至2022赛季期间俱乐部在联赛调查中的不合作态度。曼城曾在2020年通过国际体育仲裁院(CAS)撤销了欧洲足联对其欧冠赛事的禁赛决定,而如今,一个独立的委员会作出了新的裁决,这一裁决标志着独立调查的全新成果,而具体的处罚措施将在之后被确定。
在2009年至2018年期间,ADUG伪装赞助的资金逐年递增,具体金额如下:
In the 2009-2010 season, the financial outlay reached a staggering 22.5 million pounds.
During the 2010-11 season, the financial transaction reached a substantial sum of 28.5 million pounds.
During the 2011-2012 season, a total of 70.8 million pounds was spent.
During the 2012-2013 season, a total of 105.8 million pounds was spent.
In the 2013-2014 season, the total revenue reached a staggering 115 million pounds.
During the 2014-2015 season, the total revenue reached 107.2 million pounds.
2015-16赛季,总市值达到了202亿英镑。
During the 2016-2017 season, the total revenue exceeded 129.6 million pounds.
During the 2017-2018 season, the total spending reached 134.7 million pounds.
