標題 [情報] JAMES HANSON took a ￡250-a-week pay C
時間 Thu Jan 24 15:41:21 2013

JAMES HANSON took a ￡250-a-week pay CUT to become a Bradford legend.

The Bantams’ cup hero earned more stacking shelves during his non-league
days. But he sacrificed a grand a month to chase his dream of playing for his
hometown club.
And the gamble paid off at Aston Villa on Tuesday when Hanson hit the crucial
Capital One Cup semi-final goal that took League Two Bradford to Wembley.
Hanson, 25, said: “I was enjoying non-league football for Guiseley in the
Northern Conference.
“You get paid quite good money and I was working as well, stacking shelves
for the Co-op.
“But, thankfully, Stuart McCall gave me a chance with Bradford and I didn’t
look back.”
Former Bantams boss McCall told SunSport: “James was making ￡250 at the
local Co-op.
“When he made his debut for us, he still had to work his notice. He would
play for us on Saturdays, then race back to work at the Co-op.
“He was on the same money with us as he was at Guiseley but then he lost his
Co-op wages.
“James was playing for less but he had an opportunity to make himself a
professional.”

Bradford made an informal approach before Tuesday’s Capital One Cup
semi-final second leg, asking Villa if they wanted to go 50-50 on the money
either side would make from the final.
Getting to Wembley is worth ￡1million in ticket sales, TV rights and prize
money.
But even though Bradford were 3-1 up after the first leg, they recognised
they could still go out.
So they suggested the two clubs should agree to ￡500,000 each irrespective
of the outcome of the semi.
Some members of the Villa board were said to be up for the deal but boss Paul
Lambert was not interested.
Had the agreement been made it would have been subject to approval by the
Football League but it never got to that stage.
When Villa rejected the deal, Bradford then tried to insure against being
knocked out. The premium was ￡250,000 but the League blocked it.
Meanwhile, SunSport can reveal Bradford boss Phil Parkinson has worked his
Capital One Cup miracle on a wage of just ￡52,000 a year.
He gets a bonus of ￡1,000 a point for every one they get over 52.
Bradford are in talks to renegotiate a new deal and Parky, 45, has turned
down the chance to manage Blackpool.

幫助Bradford打進聯賽杯決賽的英雄JAMES HANSON在成為職業球員前曾是貨架管理員，甚
至掙的錢比踢球更多，但他放棄了這份月薪1000英鎊的工作，只為追逐自己為家鄉球隊效
力的夢想。

而這個冒險的決定最終收到了回報，在週二對陣 Aston Villa的聯賽杯半決賽中，HANSON
攻進了至關重要的進球，幫助英乙球隊Bradford進軍溫布利。

James 以前只能踢業餘比賽，但他得到了讓自己成為職業球員的機會。”

身處英乙的Bradford首次以黑馬之勢挺入聯賽杯決賽令人驚奇，而賽後有爆料稱賽前，他
們曾詢問對手Villa，可否共用晉級決賽的獎金。按照規定，最終到達溫布利的隊伍，可
以在門票上獲得100萬英鎊的受益，電視轉播權和獎金也將悉數跟上。

雖然Bradford3-1領先結束首回合爭奪，但他們明白自己並沒有出線的把握，
因此他們建議無論哪家俱樂部晉級，都平分門票收入，兩隊各拿50萬，有一些維拉隊員
因此動心，但主教練Paul Lambert對此並不感冒。
雖然此類協議打成必須經過聯賽運營方的批准，但兩隊還沒達到那個階段就談崩了。於是
當Villa拒絕這筆交易的時候，Bradford只得確保自己不要被淘汰。另外，雖然獎金有25
萬英鎊，但聯賽運營方對此也有頗多限制。
