10月13日,24直播网报道,指控曼城在2009年至2018年期间存在115起违规行为。在这段时间里,英超联赛共有35支球队参与了比赛。根据BBC对详实数据的分析,评估了这些违规行为可能对其他球队造成的财务损失。在此过程中,热刺遭受的损失最为严重。
其他俱乐部因曼城违规行为所受损失的总计估计约为8.44亿英镑,具体涵盖以下内容:
- The financial impact of the Premier League's ranking bonuses has resulted in a staggering loss of 1.882 billion pounds.
The repercussions of demotion have incurred a financial setback amounting to £3.497 billion.
- The Champions League bonus was narrowly missed, totaling £2.178 billion.
- 在国内杯赛和欧洲联赛杯的赛事中,经济损失高达8830万英镑。
根据已发布的赛季奖金分配细节,这些数值的得出是基于相关赛季公布的奖金分配计划。在英超联赛的名次奖金领域,任何最终排名低于曼城之列的球队,均被视为有可能错过了提升一个排名以获取奖金的机会。
在评估降级带来的经济影响时,所采用的计算模型是基于球队维持英超地位所能带来的最低收入,与实际收到的“降落伞”补偿金之间的差额。至于欧洲冠军联赛的收入分析,则是通过从曼城在下一个赛季的欧冠收益中扣除,再减去因降级而影响到的球队在欧联杯所赢得的奖金。
在这段时间里,曼城亦积累了可观的奖金收入。在各种竞赛中,该队总共获得了11.7亿英镑的收益,其中包括:
- 在英格兰超级联赛中,包括排名奖金以及电视转播权的收入,总价值达到了81.23亿英镑。
欧洲冠军联赛:交易额高达3.63亿英镑
- 英格兰足总杯胜利:带来900,000英镑的奖金
三度夺得联赛杯荣誉:奖金额高达三十万英镑
热刺成为受冲击最严重的俱乐部,损失高达1.2亿英镑。
Throughout the eight seasons in which Manchester City secured their UEFA Champions League qualification, Tottenham Hotspur narrowly missed out on the elite competition in four of those years. BBC analyzed the subsequent UEFA Champions League revenue for Manchester City, subtracting the prize money that Tottenham earned from the Europa League. During the four campaigns when Tottenham were absent from the Champions League, Manchester City amassed an impressive 148.2 million pounds on the European stage, whereas Tottenham's earnings from the Europa League totaled merely 29.9 million pounds.
在2014-15赛季,两队的财务差距尤为显著:曼城在英超联赛中取得了第二名,而热刺则位居第五。进入下一赛季,曼城成功晋级欧冠四强,从而赢得了7120万英镑的奖金,相比之下,热刺在欧联杯的奖金仅为1770万英镑,二者之间相差高达5350万英镑。另外,热刺在英超积分榜上6次位列曼城之下,这导致排名奖金的总差额累计达到了660万英镑。
During the 2013-14 campaign, Tottenham Hotspur indirectly benefited from an outcome. As Manchester City triumphed over Sunderland in the League Cup final, Tottenham was granted a substitute spot for European competition. This led to a financial windfall of 5.1 million pounds during their UEFA Europa League venture in the following 2014-15 season. When tallying all competitions, Tottenham's overall financial deficit reached 119.9 million pounds.
利物浦遭遇高达3780万英镑的财务损失。
在2015-16赛季的联赛杯决战中,由克洛普执教的利物浦队在一场激战中与曼城战成1-1平手,但在随后的点球对决中不幸败北。这一结果使得利物浦未能跻身英超前七,从而错失了参加欧洲赛事的机会。假设红军能够在这场关键的决赛中获胜,他们本有机会直接晋级到欧联杯。转至2016-17赛季,曼联成功赢得了欧联杯的桂冠,并因此获得了高达3780万英镑的奖金,其中转播权收入就占了2660万英镑。
尽管无法确切预测利物浦是否能够夺冠欧洲联赛,然而,对比与曼联这一同等级别的足球豪门,这一竞争无疑具有显著的参考意义。显然,若两支球队同时参加赛事,电视转播权的收入分配或许会有所减少。考虑到英超联赛排名奖金的差距,1060万英镑,利物浦此次的失败导致的经济损失总计达到了惊人的5230万英镑。
在足总杯的赛场上,曼城在遭受纪律处分期间仅成功捧杯一次,那是在2010-11赛季,他们战胜了斯托克城。那一年,冠军与亚军之间的奖金差距达到了90万英镑,并且亚军球队也获得了参加欧联杯的资格。
埃弗顿在争夺欧洲赛事资格的征途中,已五度与胜利失之交臂。
During the 2013-2014 season, Everton narrowly missed out on a Champions League spot, and this was not an isolated incident, as they came up short by a single position in the Europa League four times. The estimated financial implication of missing the Champions League was a substantial 32.6 million pounds. The cumulative financial hit from missing the Europa League four times was 23.2 million pounds, further compounded by a 10.6 million pound discrepancy in the Premier League ranking bonuses. This led to a total financial impact of 66.4 million pounds for Everton, making it the third club most severely affected by these setbacks.
赫尔城遭受的两次降级打击,导致其经济损失高达9.9亿英镑。
尽管得益于“降落伞”援助措施提供了某种程度的缓冲,但英超联赛的降级对于俱乐部财务状况来说仍旧构成了一记重击。那些仅以微弱差距,排名第18位而未能逃脱降级命运的球队,是否有权发出抱怨:若非曼城的介入,他们本有望实现保级目标?这一疑问可以从多角度进行审视。
其次,观察球队间的对抗历史,曼城在所有最终位列第十八的队伍面前均成功获取了至少四个积分,伯明翰是唯一的例外。再者,该队能够集结起一支实力远超其经济实力的队伍,否则他们很可能早已陷入保级困境。然而,这并不意味着曼城必然陷入降级危机,这更多关乎于一种可能性而非确定性。
在BBC的计算中,英超联赛中排名最低的球队在下一赛季所能赚取的总奖金被用作评估维持顶级联赛地位的最低收益,并从这一数字中减去了首年的“降落伞”援助金,以此计算出降级的实际亏损。赫尔城在此期间遭遇了两次降级,总计损失达到了9378万英镑。另外,由于在积分榜上连续四次未能取得理想位置,球队还额外遭受了520万英镑的名次奖金损失。
经过全面核算,赫尔城成为遭受损失最为严重的第二支队伍,总计损失达到了9900万英镑。斯旺西队位列第四,其总损失为6310万英镑,其中5400万英镑是由于降级所导致,而剩余的910万英镑则是源于英超联赛七个赛季间名次奖金的差额。
The 2015-16 season saw Newcastle United plummet to the 18th position, resulting in a substantial financial blow of approximately £60.4 million. This sum included a £7.9 million bonus for securing that particular position. Clubs like Norwich (with a loss of £43.8 million), Wigan Athletic (suffering £39.6 million), Burnley (with £31.1 million), Bolton (at £26.4 million), and Birmingham (at £25.1 million) also faced considerable financial repercussions from finishing 18th.
Throughout the eight seasons during which Manchester City secured a UEFA Champions League spot, four other teams were left just a single position short of qualifying. The team most affected by this was Chelsea, who finished fifth in the 2017-18 campaign. In that season, Manchester City reaped a substantial profit of 79.2 million euros by reaching the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, whereas Chelsea, who triumphed in the Europa League, only garnered 39.4 million euros, resulting in a deficit of 39.8 million euros.
在欧冠资格争夺中,埃弗顿(2013-14赛季位列第五,遭遇3260万英镑的损失)与阿森纳(2016-17赛季同样排名第五,承受2210万英镑的亏损)均因微弱差距遗憾出局。相较之下,曼联在2015-16赛季虽同样位居第五,但财务影响较小,当时曼城在欧冠止步于16强,净赚4260万英镑。曼联则夺得欧联杯桂冠,收入达到3780万英镑,亏损仅480万英镑。
在英格兰超级联赛中,并无专设的冠军奖励基金,而是将电视转播收入按照球队在联赛中的最终位置进行划分。当曼城因违规行为受到调查时,尽管如此,他们依然三次荣膺联赛冠军。在这期间,亚军球队与冠军队之间的奖金差额仅相当于一份基本奖金的额度。
In the 2010-11 campaign, the position on the leaderboard was worth 755,900 pounds. By the 2016-17 season, this value had soared to 1,940,000 pounds. When contemplating financial settlements, Everton, Liverpool, and Stoke City could seek compensation totaling up to 10.7 million pounds, as they consistently finished in positions lower than Manchester City throughout these nine seasons.
The combined claim of West Bromwich Albion and West Ham United could reach up to 9.9 million pounds, while Swansea City's claim is estimated at 9.1 million pounds. In contrast, the smallest claims are from the seven clubs that have participated in the Premier League for just one season, including Blackpool (756,800 pounds), Portsmouth (800,400 pounds), and Huddersfield Town (1.93 million pounds).
