El Girona FC, Adquirit Per Nous Inversors Esports | 26-08-2017 | 20:32 El Girona FC, adquirit per nous inversors Esports | 26-08-2017 | 20:32 Pere Guardiola, propietari i Director Executiu, Delfí Geli i Ferran Soriano El Girona FC, el City Football Group i el Girona Football Group volen anunciar a través d'aquest comunicat la signatura d'un acord pel qual el club gironí passa a mans de nous propietaris. El club ha estat adquirit a parts iguals pel City Football Group i el Girona Football Group, que tindran cadascun el 44,3% de les accions. La compra, les negociacions de la qual van començar el 2016, ha estat ratificada pel Consejo Superior de Deportes. L'operació permetrà el Girona FC beneficiar-se dels coneixements i la contrastada experiència del City Football Group, així com de la seva extensa xarxa d'infraestructures, equips tècnics, captació de talent, desenvolupament de joves jugadors i lideratge executiu, juntament amb els seus mitjans globals, el màrqueting i el potencial comercial del grup. El potencial del Girona FC tant dins com fora del camp, juntament amb la trajectòria positiva de les seves categories de formació, han estat determinants perquè tots dos socis es decidissin per aquesta inversió, que suposarà una base sòlida per la seva consolidació a La Liga. Sobre aquest acord, el president del Girona FC, Delfí Geli, ha comentat: "Estem encantats de poder confirmar la nova inversió per part del City Football Group i el Girona Football Group. Tots dos socis han demostrat una trajectòria exitosa en els seus respectius àmbits i poden aportar-nos un coneixement i un suport de valor incalculable per continuar amb la dura tasca que tants d'èxits ens ha dut en els darrers anys; així com per establir els fonaments que ens permetin assolir el nostre objectiu de consolidar-nos com un club del màxim nivell". "L'estratègia a llarg termini del City Football Group i el respecte per l'herència dels clubs s'ha fet evident en totes les inversions que han fet fins ara. Ens sentim privilegiats de poder formar part d'aquesta extensa família", ha afegit Geli. Per la seva part, el CEO del City Football Group, Ferran Soriano, ha apuntat: "La trajectòria del Girona FC reflecteix la seva enorme ambició. Amb calma, gran determinació i humilitat, l'equip aconseguí l'ascens a la Primera Divisió que esdevé, sense cap mena de dubte, una fita increïble. A més, ho assolí amb un futbol vistós i marcant molts gols". "Al Girona FC i al City Football Group ens Pag 1 uneix l'ambició per romandre molt de temps i assolir molts èxits a la Primera Divisió, però també una mateixa manera de fer les coses i unes aspiracions comunes. Per a nosaltres resultava molt atractiu invertir en el futur del Girona. Escoltarem, aprendrem i farem tot el possible per donar suport al club i als seus aficionats amb l'objectiu d'aconseguir la sostenibilitat a llarg termini que tant desitgem". Compartint la mateixa visió, Pere Guardiola, Propietari i Director Executiu del Girona Football Group, ha remarcat: "Aquesta inversió compartida en el Girona FC era una oportunitat indiscutible i emocionant per a ambdues parts, molt abans que al mes de maig el club aconseguís l'ascens a la Primera Divisió. Estem segurs de què tots units podrem proporcionar al club el suport que busca, tant si prové en forma d'ajuda executiva, financera o de lideratge. Coneixem i respectem tant Girona com la seva tradició futbolística. Estic convençut que els nostres aficionats i els altres accionistes trobaran en aquesta inversió beneficis tangibles en les properes setmanes, mesos i anys". Sobre el City Football Group El City Football Group és propietari de diferents negocis relacionats amb el futbol que tenen rellevància global. Dintre de la llista s'inclouen clubs professionals d'alt nivell, centres de formació, suport tècnic i empreses de màrqueting. Els clubs que formen part del City Football Group inclouen el campió de la Premier League de la temporada 2013-14, el Manchester City FC; el Melbourne City FC de la A-League australiana i la franquícia de la MLS, New York City Football Club, que va començar la seva temporada inaugural el març del 2015. El CFG també és accionista minoritari del Yokohama F. Marinos de la J-League japonesa i l'abril del 2017, va adquirir també el CA Torque de la Segona Divisió uruguaiana. L'objectiu comú que comparteixen tots els clubs és proporcionar la millor experiència possible i brindar una oportunitat inigualable als aficionats i a les seves comunitats de formar-ne part, així com beneficiar-se del futbol tant a nivell local com a nivell global. Les empreses que donen suport al Grup (City Football Services i City Football Marketing) funcionen des de diferents oficines arreu del món proporcionant suport als clubs del Grup, a les organitzacions associades i a les organitzacions de clients.

This new age of faster, more collaborative, more global and more universal access to knowledge, of free production of information, requires a university that is able to respond to the new needs of people, wherever they might be, whenever they may arise and especially now at a time of crisis. This has been the focus for our efforts here at the UOC over the last academic year and is to be the focus for the com- ing years. This is the backbone to our strategic plan for 2010-2014. We will continue to drive our University to meet the needs of our community of over one hundred thousand people: students, graduates, faculty, tutors, collaborators and workers who, more than ever, want a wiki training – a training that is fast, flexible, collaborative, mobile and accessible. We have done so in our natural, global and virtual setting – the internet – and are doing so alongside other institutions and universities internationally and in Spain and Catalonia, given the fact that we will, increasingly, have to do more with less.
