Blackpool on the other hand came into the final with 8 wins from 10 after losing to champions Newcastle and drawing to Bristol City.

    Frontier Economics Bulletin Water Energy Environment Retailing Transport Financial services Healthcare Telecoms Media Post Competition policy Policy analysis and design Regulation Strategy Contract design and evaluation Dispute support services Market design and auctions FEBRUARY 2014 Is Bale the Real deal? THE VALUE OF TOP FOOTBALL PLAYERS The 2013 summer transfer window saw Gareth Bale become the most expensive football player in the world, when he left Tottenham Hotspur for Real Madrid – for a record fee of more than £80m. An analysis of player valuations conducted by Frontier suggests that – even at the time of the deal – Bale’s footballing skills were worth just £66m. So did Real Madrid pay too much for its latest “Galáctico” – or wasn’t it all about the game? Football has long dominated the sports pages of European newspapers, but these days it can increasingly be found in the business pages as well. Europe’s largest clubs are collectively worth billions. Some, such as Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund, are now publicly-listed companies. The performance – or underperformance – of star signings can send clubs zinging up and down the financial charts as well as the football leagues. 2 Frontier Economics | February 2014 But how confident can clubs be that they are getting their money’s worth, when they sign expensive new players? To help address this question, Frontier has developed an economic model that estimates the value of players on the basis of their proven football skills, i.e. their performance so far. The model uses data collected from all transfers over £1m in the English Premier League and Spain’s La Liga – two of Europe’s richest leagues – over the past few seasons.
