  • Does the Recognition of Football Players Contracts Require Extra Attention?
    Master thesis Accounting Tilburg University, Tilburg, The Netherlands Department Accountancy KPMG, Arnhem, The Netherlands JULY 2011 Does the recognition of football players contracts require extra attention? Accounting, Valuation and Duration of Football player contracts. A re-examination with European data. B.C. Brommer , 943065 Supervisors: Prof. dr. mr. P.M. van der Zanden RA (University of Tilburg) R. Berkel MSc. (KPMG Arnhem) Abstract This paper investigates the legitimacy to recognize football player contracts as intangible asset on the balance sheet. This research revealed that these assets do not meet the prescribed IFRS recognition criteria of future economic benefits. There is no direct correlation between investing in football player contracts and one of the three used measurement criteria’s for future economic benefits; Sales, operating profit and accounting cash flow. Prior research by Amir and Livne (2005), found weak indications between the recognition of intangibles and future economic benefits by UK professional football clubs. The results of this research are based on the data of fifty European listed and non-listed football clubs. Further is the market reaction on investment in football player contracts examined. This with the expectation that the market would react on possible related future economic benefits. No significant relation between the recognition of football player contracts and the market price is found. However selling contracts will cause a decreasing market price what could implicate the presence of emotional decision making with football shares. The main reason for football clubs to invest in football players contracts is not to gain future economic benefits but to improve their on-field performance.
