艾德爾曼要走人,說是要找新的挑戰

Arsenal managing director Keith Edelman is leaving the club 'in search of a
fresh challenge', the club revealed to the Stock Exchange this morning.


Edelman has spent eight years at the club and oversaw the move to the
Emirates Stadium from Highbury.

He has resigned as a director of Arsenal Holdings PLC but 'will be retained
by the club for a 12-month period to ensure that a smooth transition takes
place'.

Arsenal have already started the search for Edelman's successor, with
director Ken Friar - who held the role for 18 years until 2000 - assuming the
role of acting managing director.

Edelman said: 'I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Arsenal.

'It has been a very exciting period for the business and I am proud to have
contributed to the club's many off-field achievements over the past eight
years, not least the Emirates Stadium project. Now that we have completed our
second season at Emirates, I believe it is the right time to seek pastures
new and embark upon fresh challenges.'

Gunners chairman Peter Hill-Wood expressed a 'debt of gratitude' to Edelman.

'Keith has played a major role in the growth of the club since he joined in
2000,' he said.

'In that time we have successfully implemented the move from Highbury to
Emirates Stadium that has underpinned the future of the business and
confirmed our position as one of Europe's leading clubs. We are grateful to
Keith for his crucial role in this transformation.

'Under Keith's stewardship the club has achieved record profits and the board
owes him a debt of gratitude for his contribution.

'We wish him the very best for the future.'

The statement from Arsenal Holdings PLC said: 'The board has already
initiated the search for a new managing director and will update shareholders
and stakeholders when appropriate.

'In the meantime, director Ken Friar, who has a wealth of football-based
experience and business acumen having previously occupied the role of
managing director (1982-2000), will assume the position of acting managing
director.'

生日快樂! BECKS! 上次看到布魯克林 和羅密歐看籃球比賽,兩個人看的很開心。 腦海頓時晃起你的自傳中, 你幼時舉著英格蘭圍巾當小球迷時的黑白照片。 2008-1975=33,93-64=33... 已過了而立之年再加三歲, 很多討厭你的人常說:「老了。」、「去好萊屋報到了。」 更會看到很 ...
