  • The Gffn 100 2018: Ten to Watch
    GFFN 100 2018 THE GFFN 100: AN INTRODUCTION Welcome to another edition of the Get French Football News 100. Published at the end of ev- ery year by GFFN, the guide you are reading is as detailed and comprehensive a set of player profiles as one is likely to find, especially in English. Some of these players are well-known, even to the casual fan, and though they have been the subjects of countless profiles, we hope that you can gain a bit more depth in knowledge of their stories. This is especially true with the likes of Neymar and his Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Kylian Mbappé. In 2018, neither was ever far from the limelight in a year in which France won the World Cup, thanks in large part to the teen- age sensation. Neymar may have garnered the odd headline for less positive reasons, but both remain as compelling off the pitch as they do on it. It is thus no surprise to see Mbappé top the rankings again; it does not take much objectivity to realise his immense talent and potential, but the present document is much more than a narra- tive driven by celebrity. We have watched the matches that do not generate headlines, seen the teams that are rarely on television, especially internationally, and artfully blended statistical anal- ysis with old-fashioned scouting to create what we feel is a definitive guide to the professionals currently plying their trade in France. If some rankings seem high, or low, read the profiles before making a snap decision as to our choices; this is a meritocracy.

Døskeland Masterutredning i Økonomisk styring NORGES HANDELSHØYSKOLE Dette selvstendige arbeidet er gjennomført som ledd i masterstudiet i økonomi- og administrasjon ved Norges Handelshøyskole og godkjent som sådan. Godkjenningen innebærer ikke at Høyskolen eller sensorer innestår for de metoder som er anvendt, resultater som er fremkommet eller konklusjoner som er trukket i arbeidet. 1 Forord Denne utredningen er skrevet som en del av masterstudie i økonomi og administrasjon ved Norges Handelshøyskole våren og sommeren 2017. Utredningen er en del av det selvstendige arbeidet innenfor hovedprofilen økonomisk styring. Arbeidet med utredningen har vært lærerikt, og gitt meg større innsikt i overgangsmarkedet i fotballen, og hva som driver klubbene til å investere i spillere. Bruken av statistikk og økonometriske modeller har gitt meg nyttige kunnskaper som jeg kan ta med meg videre ut i arbeidslivet. Arbeidet har også gitt meg nye erfaringer knyttet til meg selv, som jeg kan vokse på og ta med meg videre i livet som menneske. Bergen, 2017-09-01 Anders Tombre Pettersen 2 Anerkjennelse Det er flere personer jeg ønsker å takke i forbindelse med arbeidet med utredningen. Jeg vil rette en stor takk til veileder Trond Døskeland for å ha vist tålmodighet og gitt god veiledning underveis i arbeidet. Jeg vil også rette en takk til Torgeir Nesje, Klas Ufs, Anders Nedrebø og Simen M. Lie, som har utviklet datasettet jeg har brukt som grunnlag for regresjonsanalysene. Avslutningsvis vil jeg rett en stor takk til familie og venner, som har vært støttende i denne prosessen, og ikke minst kjæresten min for korrekturlesing og positiv holdning.

    ! The GFFN 100 ! A Get French Football News Publication Rights Reserved ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !1 Note From the Editor: Welcome to the Get French Football News 100, a publication that celebrates the enactments of footballers associated with French football over the course of 2013. " The Get French Football News team got together last December to bounce ideas about a way in which we could mark the end of an explosive year in French football and we invite you to indulge in the final product. " After all, it has been quite some year. Qatari-backed Paris Saint Germain lifted their first Ligue 1 title for 19 years and were unlucky to be edged out in their Champions League Quarter Final duel with one of Europe’s greatest clubs in FC Barcelona, only on the away goal rule. " French football history was made on many fronts in 2013 with a Claude Puel-inspired OGC Nice team qualifying for their first European campaign for 15 years, St Étienne winning their first ever Coupe de la Ligue and the French national team becoming the first side in history to turnaround a 1st leg two goal deficit in a European World Cup Qualifying Playo# to book their place in Brazil for 2014. " Invariably in football, where there are highs there are also lows. One of the former mainstay clubs Le Mans FC went into liquidation and were subsequently relegated to the 6th tier of French football (DH). The French football world was rocked by the loss of former manager and player Bruno Metsu who famously took Senegal to the quarter finals of the 2002 World Cup, tragically losing his battle with cancer at the age of just 59.

  • Ligue 1 2014/2015: Your Guide to the Season Ahead
    Ligue 1 2014/2015: Your Guide to the Season Ahead Get French Football News A Note from the Editor: From Copacabana beach to the Stade Auguste Delaune: Ligue 1 kicks off again on the 8th of August when Reims host back-to-back champions Paris Saint Germain in the first encounter of the new season. The summer brought with it one of the most wholesome World Cups in recent history, where Ligue 1 stars both thrived and blossomed. Whether you were marveling at David Ospina or Guillermo Ochoa between the sticks, noting the potential of Serge Aurier or appreciating the sheer brilliance of James Rodriguez, it seemed that wherever one turned; the spirit of France’s top flight was being embodied by some of its most emblematic characters. While the majority of the aforementioned stars will undoubtedly move on this summer, Ligue 1 is not standing still. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is ready to lead PSG to Champions League glory, regardless of the supposed limitations that Financial Fair Play regulations have imposed on the Ligue 1 champions. The seasonal managerial merry-go-round has gone some way to reshuffling the pack and Willy Sagnol, Marcelo Bielsa, Hubert Fournier, Claude Makélélé, Leonardo Jardim and Jean Luc Vasseur have all been handed fresh starts at various outfits. A new campaign brings with it three new sides. Ligue 1 welcomes back an eclectic bunch of former stalwarts with open arms in Metz, Caen and Lens. The latter club had the last laugh during a summer that may well be remembered for the administrative headaches that the French football watchdog the DNCG were causing, initially refusing Antoine Kombouaré’s men entry into France’s top flight.
