Gunners won't welcome big spenders

Arsenal director Danny Fiszman has pledged that the North London club will
never go down the route pursued by rivals Chelsea and rely on a wealthy
benefactor, with natural and sustainable growth the preferred option at
Emirates Stadium.

槍手董事Fiszman表示阿森納將不會追尋切爾西走上仰賴一名有錢資助者的道路

In a season when the club saw Mathieu Flamini lured away by Milan and
Alexander Hleb reportedly offered big money to move to Inter, there have been
suggestions that Arsene Wenger’s renowned frugality and the club’s strict
wage structure could be hindering their chances of competing for major
trophies.

The spectre of a takeover at Arsenal has been looming for well over a year
and Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov overtook Fiszman as the club’s
leading shareholder in February when talking his stake in the club to 24.2
percent.

Wenger has memorably described Chelsea’s policy of plunging the club into
debt and relying on the personal funds of Roman Abramovich as ‘financial
doping’, and Fiszman appears ready to resist any attempts from Usmanov to
tread a similar path.

"We don't believe in the benefactor model," Fiszman told Arsenal TV.
"我們不相信有錢資助者的模式"Fiszman告訴阿森納電視

"It is not a question of a one-time infusion of cash to buy player x or
player y. You actually then have salaries that are connected to the players.
"問題不只在於一時之間挹注資金去買某選手X或某某選手Y,事實上還有球員薪資的問題
要解決"

"What if they don't work out? Do you go and buy another two or three players?
Is there any end to it?
"如果這種模式不成功怎麼辦?你就去再打包另外兩個或三個選手?資金挹注何時盡?"

"So I think everybody, including Chelsea, knows there are limits. Chelsea
were not big spenders last summer certainly - they got our old player
Steven Sidwell on a free transfer.
"我認為即便是切爾西,他們也知道這是有極限的,切爾西在去年夏季並不是真正地豪氣在
花錢,他們甚至以自由轉會方式得到前槍手球員Sidwell "

"We believe in the end the self-sustaining model is the right one, the one we
have adopted and will continue adopting."
"我們認為俱樂部自給自足的財務模式才是正確的模式,也是我們目前為止所採用並且將
會堅持下去的"

On the departure of Flamini to Milan on a free transfer, Fiszman insisted
that Arsenal’s wage structure is competitive in The Premier League and
that they were unwilling to break that in order to keep the France
international at the club.

"We made a substantial offer to Mathieu,” Fiszman added. “It was
considerable and in line with our wage structure but he chose to go
elsewhere.
"我們給馬修一份相當優渥的合約,那已經很可觀,並且符合我們的薪資結構,但是他選擇
去別的地方"

"We wish him luck, thank him for what he has done for the club and wish him
all the best.
"我們祝福他,也感謝他在此作的貢獻"

"If you look at our total wage costs you will see they are virtually the same
as Manchester United and substantially more than Liverpool.
"如果你檢視我們的薪資成本,你會發現我們跟曼聯幾乎差不多,還實質上高過於利物浦"

"Of course we are all a little less than Chelsea who are in a world of
their own. But compared to Manchester United and Liverpool we are good
payers.
"當然這幾支球會都不能跟切爾西--這支他們自己一個世界的球隊相比,但是相比於曼
聯跟利物浦我們不能算是吝嗇的資方"

"We believe it is a team sport and we do well but we don't want the disparity
between the top and bottom earner being too big. It takes 11 people on the
pitch to deliver."
"我們相信足球是團隊運動,你永遠需要十一個球員站在場上,所以我們不希望薪資金字塔
頂端與底層的球員有著太大的差距"

雖然偶爾也會羨慕起別人
但基於想一輩子看槍手的比賽的願望
我非常同意我們繼續自給自足
