It is organised by the Union Européenne de Football Association (UEFA) and the first edition was held in 1960. The 14th edition is hosted in Poland and Ukraine from the 8th of June to the 1st of July 2012. For the UEFA Euro 2012™, all clubs have to release their players for the tournament according to the FIFA regulations: in accordance with Annexe 1 to the FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players, “if a player is called up, he must be released to play in the final competition organised by FIFA or a confederation and held in a period fixed/set in the calendar. In this event, the period of release shall be 14 days.” Following fruitful talks held in spring 2012 between the European Club Association (ECA) and UEFA, which ended in the signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding in March 2012, the UEFA Executive Committee has decided to allocate an amount of €100 million from the benefits of the the UEFA Euro 2012TM to clubs (compared to €43’466’390 for Euro 2008). A part of this €100 million will be distributed amongst those clubs who released players for the UEFA Euro 2012™. Moreover, any club whose player(s) appeared on the match sheet of a UEFA Euro 2012™ qualification game will receive a fixed amount. The exact figures will be officialised during the UEFA Executive Committee meeting on the 30th of June 2012. The purpose of this research is to show the overall situation of players released by European clubs with a focus on ECA Members. The research is based on the official UEFA Squad Lists published on the 29th of May 2012 (with ulterior replacements due to injury before the start of the tournament).

The Road to Fame Or Failure? . 206 Chapter 1 The Demise S a teenager, Thomas Morgan, from inner-city Dublin, had Sir Alex Ferguson in his living room, A trying to persuade the 15-year-old midfielder to abandon his plans to join Blackburn Rovers. They were emerging as title rivals to Ferguson’s Manchester United and he was keen for Morgan to move to Old Trafford. Morgan chose Blackburn, signing for the Ewood Park side in 1994. A year later, Blackburn won their one and only Premier League title. But despite training with the league-winning squad, and making the bench for league and European matches, Morgan found himself released – and without a club – almost three years later. It was only weeks before captaining the Ireland Under-20s to a third-place finish in the 1997 World Championships in Malaysia. Put simply, Morgan fell by the wayside as Blackburn – and their Premier League rivals – regularly shunned the promotion of youth in favour of big-money signings.
