  • Theory of the Beautiful Game: the Unification of European Football
    Scottish Journal of Political Economy, Vol. 54, No. 3, July 2007 r 2007 The Author Journal compilation r 2007 Scottish Economic Society. Published by Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford, OX4 2DQ, UK and 350 Main St, Malden, MA, 02148, USA THEORY OF THE BEAUTIFUL GAME: THE UNIFICATION OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL John Vroomann Abstract European football is in a spiral of intra-league and inter-league polarization of talent and wealth. The invariance proposition is revisited with adaptations for win- maximizing sportsman owners facing an uncertain Champions League prize. Sportsman and champion effects have driven European football clubs to the edge of insolvency and polarized competition throughout Europe. Revenue revolutions and financial crises of the Big Five leagues are examined and estimates of competitive balance are compared. The European Super League completes the open-market solution after Bosman. A 30-team Super League is proposed based on the National Football League. In football everything is complicated by the presence of the opposite team. FSartre I Introduction The beauty of the world’s game of football lies in the dynamic balance of symbiotic competition. Since the English Premier League (EPL) broke away from the Football League in 1992, the EPL has effectively lost its competitive balance. The rebellion of the EPL coincided with a deeper media revolution as digital and pay-per-view technologies were delivered by satellite platform into the commercial television vacuum created by public television monopolies throughout Europe. EPL broadcast revenues have exploded 40-fold from h22 million in 1992 to h862 million in 2005 (33% CAGR).

    An Investigation of Best Practices in Youth Development Programmes at Selected Football Academies in the Western Cape. By Ashley Ian Jacobs 2444431 A full thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the Degree MAGISTER ARTIUM SPORT, RECREATION AND EXERCISE SCIENCE in the Department of Sport, Recreation and Exercise Science in the Faculty of Community and Health Sciences at the UNIVERSITY OF THE WESTERN CAPE Supervisor: Dr. Simone Titus October 2020 http://etd.uwc.ac.za/ Abstract Football around the globe has been used as a vehicle for youth development initiatives. Youth development programmes foster social change in communities and provide an ideal development context that often results in active sport participation. In South Africa, there are a number of youth development programmes that not only use football, but also other sporting codes to implement and create sustainable youth development programmes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore best practices in youth development programmes of selected football academies in the Western Cape. This study took place in the greater Cape Town area of the Western Cape and focused on selected football academies who administer youth development programmes. A qualitative approach was used to collect and analyse data for the study. Three key informant interviews and three focus group discussions were conducted with a total sample size of twenty-one participants from the three different academies. Focus group participants were purposively selected from the under fourteen, under sixteen and under eighteen teams from each football academy. The data from the study was collected and analysed through the lens of the Positive Youth Development perspective.

  • Het Draait Bij ABA, Zoals De Volledige Naam Ajax Business Associates Aangeeft, Om Contacten Belangrijk
    BUSINESS TO BUSINESS Als houder van drie business seats koos Carel Abeln er al snel voor om lid te worden van ABA. Hij werd zeer prettig verwelkomd, weet hij nog. ‘Het persoonlijke sprak me direct aan en de ambiance van de ABA- Lounge en ABA-Club paste goed bij mij en mijn relaties. Ik voelde me bij ABA direct thuis’. Een aantal jaren terug werd hem gevraagd om een actieve rol in het bestuur te spelen. Carel kende inmiddels binnen de ABA veel mensen, maar vooral alleen van gezicht. Tijdens de jongste ALV werd door een aantal ABA leden het idee geopperd om binnen de businessclub ondernemers, die daarvoor openstaan, de mogelijkheid te bieden om elkaar beter te leren kennen. ‘Dat hadden we al vaker besproken en sprak mij direct aan’, zegt hij. ‘Ik begreep meteen wat er bedoeld werd. Zo ervaar ik het zelf ook. Immers rond wedstrijden zijn leden die genodigden meenemen vooral met hun gasten bezig. Dan is er minder tijd en aandacht voor anderen. Daardoor leer je elkaar niet echt kennen, terwijl daar kennelijk toch behoefte aan is, getuige het initiatief dat op de ALV werd ingebracht.’ TOON VAN DOOIJEWEERD Toon van Dooijeweerd – YourGift Cards: ‘Voor mij is het ABA-netwerk niet vrijblijvend! Je wil binnen het ABA-netwerk uiteraard niet gedwongen worden om business met elkaar te doen, maar je kunt als lid elkaar wel opzoeken. Wij richten ons met YourGift cadeaukaarten vooral op de zakelijke markt en bieden maatwerk aan bedrijven die cadeaukaarten willen inzetten als loyaliteit en/of beloning voor medewerkers en relaties.

  • Macquarie University Alex Munt New Directions in Music Video: Vincent Moon and the 'Ascetic Aesthetic'
    Munt New directions in music video Macquarie University Alex Munt New Directions in Music Video: Vincent Moon and the ‘ascetic aesthetic’ Abstract: This article takes the form of a case study on the work of French filmmaker and music video director Vincent Moon, and his ‘Takeaway Shows’ at the video podcast site La Blogothèque. This discussion examines the state, and status, of music video as a dynamic mode of convergent screen media today. It is argued that the recent shift of music video online represents a revival of music video—its form and aesthetics— together with a rejuvenation of music video scholarship. The emergence of the ‘ascetic aesthetic’ is offered as a new paradigm for music video far removed from that of the postmodern MTV model. In this context, new music video production intersects with notions of immediacy, authenticity and globalised film practice. Here, convergent music video is enabled by the network of Web 2.0 and facilitated by the trend towards amateur content, participatory media and Creative Commons licensing. The pedagogical implications of teaching new music video within screen media arts curricula is highlighted as a trajectory of this research. Biographical note: Alex Munt is a filmmaker and screen theorist. He is a Lecturer in the Department of Media, Music, Communication and Cultural Studies at Macquarie University. He recently completed a PhD on ‘Microbudget Digital Cinema’ and has published on topics that include digital filmmaking, screenwriting, music video, fashion and design media in Australian and UK media, journals and magazines. Keywords: Aesthetics – Music – Video – Vincent Moon 1 Broderick & Leahy (eds) TEXT Special Issue, ASPERA: New Screens, New Producers, New Learning, April 2011 Munt New directions in music video The focus of this article is the work of French filmmaker and music video director Mathieu Saura, more commonly known by his alias ‘Vincent Moon’.

Horror- verhalen. Of, toch niet… Want als het gesprek zich verder doorzet blijkt hoeveel ze hebben geleerd van die gebroken snaren, het busje dat ergens op de weg tussen Groningen en Middelburg besloot ermee op te houden en dat laatste biertje wat misschien beter toch niet gedronken had moeten worden… Tijdens mijn eerste jaar Popronde - inmiddels vijf jaar terug - zat ik in de auto met Tim, toen verantwoordelijk voor de social media, op de terugweg van Popronde Almere. Tim sprak toen de gevleugelde woorden: ‘fuck de TROS, de Popronde is de grootste familie van Ne- derland. In ieder geval de leukste!’ In die vijf jaar ben ik mij steeds meer gaan beseffen dat hij, met misschien een laatste biertje wat mis- schien beter toch niet gedronken had moeten worden op, gelijk had.

  • BMO Management Strategies of Football Clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie
    BSc-Thesis – BMO Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie Name Student: Mylan Pouwels Registration Number: 991110669120 University: Wageningen University & Research (WUR) Study: BBC (Business) Thesis Mentor: Jos Bijman Date: 1-23-2020 Chair Group: BMO Course Code: YSS-81812 Foreword From an early age I already like football. I like it to play football by myself, to watch it on television, but also to read articles about football. The opportunity to combine my love for football with a scientific research for my Bachelor Thesis, could not be better for me. During an orientating conversation about the topic for my Bachelor Thesis with my thesis mentor Jos Bijman, I mentioned that I was always interested in the management strategies of organizations. What kind of choices an organization makes, what kind of resources an organization uses, what an organization wants to achieve and its performances. Following closely this process in large organizations is something I like to do in my leisure time. My thesis mentor Jos Bijman asked for my hobbies and he mentioned that there was a possibility to combine my interests in the management strategies of organizations with my main hobby football. In this way the topic Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie was created. The Bachelor Thesis Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie is executed in a qualitative research, using a literature study. This Thesis is written in the context of my graduation of the study Business-and Consumer Studies (specialization Business) at the Wageningen University and Research. From October 28 2019 until January 23 I have been working on the research and writing of my Thesis.
