Wenger and the Board at Loggerheads Exclusive

By Eduardo
August 21 2011

According to an unnamed source Arsene Wenger is at loggerheads with the Board
over how the transfer budget should be spent. I am not at liberty to name
that source, but I believe the information I received explains the current
impasse at Arsenal. Before I explain what the differences between them are,
let me make it clear that there is a substantial transfer budget that has to
not only cover transfer fees but wages of incoming players and contract
improvements of those already here.

根據一位不願透露姓名人士的消息，溫格正在因為轉會費如何使用而與董事會僵持不下。
我並不能自由地透露消息來源，但是我相信我收到的信息解釋了如今阿森納內部所面臨的
僵局。在我開始解釋之前，我先清楚地聲明，轉會預算不只是包括了球員的轉會費，還包
括了新球員的工資和現有球員的續約加薪。

The Board and Wenger are both in agreement that , to avoid the situation the
club has encountered with Clichy and Nasri this summer, star men like Van
Persie and Vermaelen and others with only two years left on their contract
need to be offered new long term contracts with big pay rises.

董事會和溫格都認同，為了避免俱樂部在這個夏季在克里希和納斯里身上所遇到的情況（
指球員剩下一年合約並拒絕續約）再度發生，關鍵球員例如范佩西以及維爾馬倫還有其他
剩下2年合約的球員需要更新合同並加薪。

And this is where the first difference of opinion has arisen between manager
and club, The Board believe that offering to rise a players wage from ￡60K
- ￡70K a week to ￡90K or ￡100K is more than enough, but Wenger believes
that this is not enough, when City, Utd and Chelsea are paying their best(￡
180K - ￡250K), and that if we want to keep our best players we have to go to
the next level, he wants the pay scale risen to ￡150K for our best.

這也是溫格和董事會的第一個意見分歧的地方，董事會相信將6萬到7萬英鎊的週薪增加到
9萬-10萬英鎊已經綽綽有餘。但是溫格相信這已經不足了，在如今曼城，曼聯和切爾西都
為他們的頂級球員提供高薪（18萬-25萬英鎊）的情況下，如果我們要留下我們的頂級球
員並且更進一步，他要求將頂薪增加到15萬英鎊。

This brings us neatly on to the next bone of contention between manager and
club, the calibre of signing we can make. Both Wenger and the Board agree
that to even maintain a top four spot, let alone win the title, several new
signings are required.

The Board are willing to pay big transfer fees, as is Wenger (he is not lying
when he says he would pay ￡30M - ￡40M), it is also where the difference of
opinion comes. The Board would willingly meet the transfer fee, but will not
meet the sort of wage demands a ￡30M signings asks for.

這清楚地告訴我們教練和董事會在我們嘗試簽下新援的過程中的分歧。溫格和董事會都同
意要留在前四名，幾筆新簽約是必須的，更不用說爭奪冠軍了。董事會願意付大筆的轉會
資金，溫格說他可以花費3千萬到4千萬英鎊並不是說謊，但這也是他們觀點的分歧所在。
董事會願意滿足3千萬級別的轉會費，但是，他們並不願與給予同等級別的工資。


Wenger had a four pronged squad plan this summer,
溫格在這個夏天有四個主要的計劃：


Keep our best players 留下最好的球員
Buy in top level players to improve the team 買進頂級球員改善陣容
Sign young players with big potential 簽下有巨大潛力的年輕球員
Promote from within 內部提拔


Wenger has done parts 3 and 4. He wanted to do part 1 and 2 by Nasri being
offered a massive contract so he would stay, and he hoped to persuade Cesc to
stay one more year, with not only a new contract but with the calibre of
player he signed. Wenger wanted Mata and Benzema, he still wants Hazzard,
wages more than anything else are ruling out Mata and Benzema.

現在溫格已經完成了第三項和第四項。之前，他希望能以有吸引力的合同將納斯里留下，
並以簽下新援的方法讓法佈雷加斯留下來不只一年，溫格想要馬塔和本澤馬，他也想要哈
扎德，但是工資這個主要原因排除了馬塔和本澤馬（加盟的可能性）。

The Board had no problem meeting the Juan Mata transfer fee, but once Chelsea
let it be known to his agents what they would offer, it blew Arsenal's
contract offer out of the water. We ran into the same situation with Jones
and Utd.

董事會能滿足馬塔的轉會費，但是當切爾西向其經紀人開出報價之後，阿森納的報價就出
局了。在瓊斯轉會曼聯一案，我們也遇到一樣的狀況。

People ask why have Arsenal not signed Cahill, Dann or Samba etc, well its
simple really, Wenger wants better players, the Board want him to sign the
above level of player, as it sits with their wage scale, Arsene wants the
next level up, a Subotic, a Hummells, but they come with not only high
transfer fees but with massive wage demands.

人們質疑阿森納為何不簽下卡希爾、鄧恩或者桑巴。這很簡單，溫格想要更高水平的球員
，董事會要他按照他們設定的工資去簽下球員，溫格卻想要更頂級的球員，例如蘇博蒂奇
或者胡梅爾斯，但是這兩名球員帶來的不僅僅是高額轉會費還包括大規模的工資需求。

Wenger would rather not sign a player at all, than sign someone for a big fee
who he considers no better than what we have, the board have asked him to
reconsider this stance, and that is why Cahill and Dann have been scouted
this late in the window, Arsene sees them as not as good as Koscielny, and
thinks it is the wrong way to use his budget, he wants better quality for the
first 11, the board just want him to make signings to appease the fans.

溫格不願意花大筆資金簽下不比阿森納現有隊員強的球員，董事會要求溫格再次考慮，這
就是為什麼卡希爾和鄧恩在轉會期末期依然在偵查中。溫格覺得他們並不比科斯切爾尼強
很多，他也覺得這樣使用他的預算是錯的，他想要更好的球員來加強他的11人首發陣容，
而董事會只是想要他簽下球員來安撫球迷們。

Wenger had a major discussion with Kroenke and the Board on Members day. He
was told in no uncertain terms that Nasri would have to be sold if he did not
sign a contract, and between them they came to the decision to let Cesc go
for less than his worth. But Wenger fought his corner, and made it clear the
sort of player he wants and that our star men have to be given contract that
will keep them, as you can not build if every year there is doubts who are
staying and who are going. Arsene also reiterated his view that we need top
quality players, not just one as good or possibly slightly better, and that
these players come at a premium cost and that the club has to go up a level
not only on fees but on wages.

溫格和大股東克倫科以及董事會在會員大會上已經做了主要的討論，溫格被告知如果納斯
里不簽下新合同就將被出售，而且他們之間也做出了讓法佈雷加斯以低於他身價轉會的決
定。但是溫格堅持他的立場，對於他所要的球員，以及隊裡的球星必須給予新合同以確保
能夠留下他們。因為你不可在每一年都在懷疑哪名球員將會離開的情況下建立起球隊。溫
格也重申了他的觀點，我們需要頂級的球員，而不是差不多或者表現稍微好一些的球員，
而這些球員將會讓俱樂部的基本開銷上升一個台階，而不僅是他們自己的工資而已。

Arsene Wenger is a company man, and will not come out with any of this, while
under contract, no matter how much flack he takes, and that is why his
comments in the media, since the Members day meeting, have been more for the
ears of Stan and Ivan than for the fans, he is warning them. He wont' walk,
and it will cost the club dear to sack him, and even more to shut him up if
he is sacked, if they thought the deal David Dein struck with Bruce Rioch to
keep him quiet was expensive, they will be blown away by what it will take to
buy Arsene Wenger's silence.

溫格是團隊的一員，在合同期限內，無論他受到多少公開的質疑，他並不會公開這些情況
。這就是為什麼他對媒體發表那些評論，從會員大會那時開始，那些話更多是針對克倫科
和加齊迪斯的而不是給球迷們，他正在警告他們。溫格不會主動辭職，而俱樂部如果要解
僱他將會讓付出慘痛的代價。一旦他被解僱了，更重要的是讓他閉嘴。如果他們認為當年
戴恩與布魯斯-里奧克（譯註：前阿森納主帥，96年因為質疑董事會的轉會資金運用被解
職，繼任人是溫格）交易讓他閉嘴太昂貴的話，他們更沒有能力承受讓溫格沉默的代價。

Who wins this battle of wills may define not only what happens to Arsenal's
season, but for many seasons to come.

誰在這場博弈中勝出不僅是決定阿森納這個賽季的成敗，還將影響（阿森納）的未來。
