  • Chapter 2 Economic Model of a Professional Football Club in France
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository Chapter 2 Economic model of a professional football club in France Nicolas Scelles and Wladimir Andreff The economic model of football clubs is a revenue model but also a cost model in relation to their objective. It can be defined as the search for balance between revenues, costs and objective, and the latter can vary: profit maximization, sporting maximization under strict constraint (“hard” constraint), or “soft” budget constraint (Andreff, 2009). In France, the revenue model of football clubs has evolved with time. This mutation fits in the switch from an SSSL (Spectators-Subventions-Sponsors- Local) model to an MMMMG (Media-Magnats-Merchandising-Markets-Global) model at the European level (Andreff & Staudohar, 2000). Before 1914, sport financing came mainly from practitioners (Bourg et Gouguet, 2001, p. 19). Thereafter, with competitions as spectacle, spectators have become the primary source of revenue, ahead of the subsidies granted by the local authorities and industry patrons. Advertising revenues have gradually become more and more important and, in the 1960s and 1970s, sponsorship increased significantly as firms were seeking more direct identification in terms of audience, image, reputation and sales (Andreff et Staudohar, 2000, p. 259) . In France, during the 1970s, operating revenues of first division football clubs came mainly from the spectators, supplemented by subsidies and sponsorship. The SSSL model was at its peak, with its “L” finding its justification in the fact that the revenues were generated from local or national residents. The 1980s is the starting point of a continuous increase in the share of TV rights income for French clubs.

  • Russian Billionaire Rybolovlev Sues Sotheby's for $380M in Fraud
    AiA Art News-service Russian billionaire Rybolovlev sues Sotheby’s for $380m in fraud damages The mega-collector’s latest lawsuit, filed in New York, escalates his three-year legal feud with Swiss dealer Yves Bouvier MARGARET CARRIGAN 3rd October 2018 20:38 GMT Rybolovlev served Sotheby's with a $380m suit in a New York federal court despite a similar pending case in Geneva Francknataf The ongoing and vitriolic battle between the Russian fertiliser billionaire turned art collector Dmitry Rybolovlev and Yves Bouvier, an entrepreneurial Swiss art dealer and freeport magnate, reached dramatic new heights on Tuesday (2 October) when Rybolovlev filed a $380m lawsuit against Sotheby’s in a Manhattan federal court. The charges are brought by two of Rybolovlev’s companies and claim that the auction house materially assisted what the collector refers to as the “largest art fraud in history”, as first reported by Bloomberg. It is the latest attempt by the Russian oligarch to recoup $1bn from Bouvier after first claiming in 2015 that he was overcharged by the dealer on 38 works of art purchased for a total of $2bn over the course of a decade, among them Leonardo’s Salvator Mundi. Sotheby’s was involved in the sale of 14 of the works in question. According to the court papers, Bouvier “masterminded” the fraud by acquiring the paintings at lower prices than he represented before selling them to Rybolovlev at unduly marked up rates, fraudulently pocketing millions for himself. Sotheby’s, the complaint contends, knowingly and intentionally bolstered the plaintiffs’ “trust and confidence in Bouvier and rendered the whole edifice of fraud plausible and credible” by brokering certain sales and inflated valuations.

While Libi is accused of engaging in scouting activities during the planning of the 1998 bombings at the U.S. embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya, his current role in Al Qaeda remains unclear. Libi’s family members and former associates deny he was ever a member of Al Qaeda and say he has not been engaged in militant activities since returning to Libya in 2011. The raid was described here. On October 5th, 15 Libyan soldiers were killed and five others wounded in an attack on a military checkpoint near Bani Walid, a former stronghold of Muammar Gaddafi. The attack was carried out by a group of unidentified gunmen and is the largest incident targeting Libyan military personnel since the 2011 civil war. More information can be seen here. On October 6th, the Libyan Government accused the U.S. of kidnapping one of its citizens after. Special Operations Forces captured Abu Anas al-Libi in Tripoli. In addition, members of the Islamic group Ansar al-Sharia protested in Benghazi against Libi’s adduction and criticized the Libyan Government for not doing more to ensure his protection.

  • Order Could Pave Way for Russian Billionaire to Launch High Court Case Against Swiss Dealer Yves Bouvier and Sotheby’S ANNY SHAW 9Th January 2018 11:34 GMT
    AiA Art News-service New York court grants permission for Rybolovlev to use confidential documents in UK and Switzerland Order could pave way for Russian billionaire to launch High Court case against Swiss dealer Yves Bouvier and Sotheby’s ANNY SHAW 9th January 2018 11:34 GMT Dmitry Rybolovlev Francknataf A New York court has ruled that the Russian mining billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev can use confidential Sotheby’s documents in an imminent lawsuit in the UK, as well as in ongoing legal proceedings in Switzerland. The order, filed on 22 December, could pave the way for Rybolovlev to launch a fresh case in London’s High Court against the Swiss dealer Yves Bouvier, whom he accuses of defrauding him by $1 billion in the purchase of 38 works of art, including that of the Salvator Mundi by Leonardo da Vinci. The UK lawsuit also threatens to pull in Sotheby’s and Samuel Valette, the auction house’s vice chairman of private sales worldwide, whom Rybolovlev says was partly complicit in the alleged scam. All parties deny any wrongdoing. It is not clear what information is contained in the cache of documents, which Sotheby’s produced in 2016 as part of legal proceedings in Monaco, Singapore and France. No one is at liberty to discuss or disclose them. But court papers refiled on 26 December by David Michael Edwards, Rybolovlev’s lawyer in London, set out how the documents are of “crucial importance” to the proposed UK action. According to Edwards, the documents expose how Valette–and Sotheby’s–were aware that Bouvier was buying works on behalf of a client and that Sotheby’s assisted the Swiss dealer by providing documents that encouraged Rybolovlev to purchase works at “grossly inflated” prices.

Each match is more than just a game. A match can and has represented old battles that never die completely. The Celtic–Rangers rivalry is more than a cross-town rivalry, but a representation of the unfinished political fight over the Protestant Reformation.2 The Barcelona–Real Madrid rivalry represents a long-running nationalist fight between Castilian and Catalonian Spaniards.3 Celtic’s long running rivalry with Rangers Football Club (FC) is just another part of the centuries-old rivalry between Northern Irish Catholics and Protestants.4 While one’s club is a representation of his or her nation and tribe, it is also a business, as shown by the globalization of the sport.5 And just like any business, occasionally there are financial issues.
