【英音模仿秀】足球俱乐部运营危机

模仿文本：  In recent years, debate has been dominated by the arrival of super-rich club owners from the United States, Russia, the Far East, and the Gulf¹ States. Shaikh Mansour of the UAE is a controlling interest in Manchester City, for example, as the Qatar Investment Authority at Paris St Germain, Roman Abramovich at Chelsea. In many cases, these have looked like billionaires for whom a balance sheet has seemed a little bit of an irrelevance² at times.

 

译文： 近年来，对于来自美国、俄罗斯、远东和海湾国家的超富俱乐部老板们一直争论不休。举例来说，阿拉伯联合酋长国的谢赫·曼苏尔就是曼城俱乐部的控股股东，正如卡塔尔投资局收购巴黎圣日耳曼队，以及罗曼·阿布拉莫维奇入主切尔西。在这些案例中，亿万富翁们与资产负债表看起来似乎没有关系。
