10月14日,据24直播网报道,尽管阿森纳在上赛季夺得英超联赛冠军,并宣布了2024-25赛季创历史新高收入,但俱乐部已向员工透露,他们正准备实施裁员措施。
公司宣布计划减少60个岗位以大幅降低成本,此举影响范围涵盖多个业务领域。
The coaching staff of the club will be safeguarded from any layoffs, and this includes the support staff for both the men's and women's football teams. Additionally, personnel involved in community operations, the Arsenal Foundation, security, and dedicated staff for the women's football squad will remain unaffected.
磋商正在进行中,决策仍存在变动的可能性。
在喜讯传来之时,阿森纳在阿尔特塔教练的领导下,夺得了他们22年来的首座冠军奖杯。与此同时,球队上一财季的财务状况表现积极。进入二月,阿森纳公布,在2024-25财年,他们实现了几乎完美的收支平衡,总亏损仅为140万英镑。此外,球队还宣布了创纪录的收入,达到了6.91亿英镑。
The most substantial increase in revenue stemmed from a surge in commercial agreements, which rose by 4.5 million pounds, elevating the total from 218.3 million pounds in 2024 to 263.2 million pounds in 2025. In February 2024, Arsenal sold the naming rights of its training ground to Sobha Realty, a transaction that significantly bolstered the club's financial inflow.
在公布此消息之际,阿尔特塔已经签订了一份待遇优渥的新协议,该协议承诺了他直至2030年的职业未来。据透露,这位来自西班牙的足球导师所获得的全新合约,使他跃升至英超联赛薪酬最高的教练行列。
That August of 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Arsenal disclosed its decision to lay off 55 employees, predominantly from the football, business, and administrative sectors, leading to a surge of indignation among fans.
阿尔特塔在裁员问题上进行了辩解,指出球员们在新冠疫情期间自愿接受了降薪,以支持俱乐部的经济困境。他强调:“球员们自愿在俱乐部面临财务挑战时伸出援手,但这并不赋予他们对俱乐部后续决策的发言权。这种支持并非强制性的,而是个人是否愿意采取的行动。”
在我们努力践行作为人类应尽的责任,全力支持那些始终如一信赖我们的俱乐部时——对我个人而言,这一支持已持续多年,同样,其他成员亦然——不论成员们身处伤病、健康状态、卓越表现或是一时失意,我们都坚信这一决策的正确性。我们期待俱乐部能够独立自主地,以最为积极和稳固的姿态,迎接未来的挑战。
