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. -

Number #9 in the TDF Top 50
From being a small boy, I have always been a huge fan of both football and professional wrestling and at around the age of 10-years-old, I came across a monthly magazine brought to newsagents from the makers of the world famous Sports Illustrated all about pro wrestling. It was simply named Pro Wrestling Illustrated. It was a publication I regularly read as well as Shoot and Match weekly magazines to feed my football addiction. In 1991, PWI began this new craze that instantly grabbed my attention more than no other magazine had before. They revealed the 'PWI 500'. The 'PWI 500' section in the magazine listed (in rank order) the top 500 professional wrestlers in the world that year. Counting down from 500, this revealed to me many, many talents that I have not discovered as of yet. This was released every year, and still to this day is the best selling edition of the magazine each year. I studied and read and read over and over again that edition in 1991 and I came up with an idea. What if Match or Shoot revealed the top 500 footballers in the world? Thinking back to 1991, I used to love to tune into the 'BBC Radio 1 Top 40' show every Sunday afternoon too... maybe I'm a tad obsessed with countdowns. Anyways, reflecting on the idea, I thought about it each year the 'PWI 500' was released. As years went on, I felt that this would have grown into a hugely successful plan, gaining great recognition with people in the game, possibly gained its own award ceremony on TV with the emergence and exposure SKY Television in the United Kingdom was just beginning to give to the game back then. -
Computational Estimation of Football Player Wages
International Journal of Computer Science in Sport Volume 1 6, Issue 1, 2017 Journal homepage: http://iacss.org/index.php?id=30 DOI: 10.1515/ijcss-2017-0002 Computational Estimation of Football Player Wages Yaldo, L., Shamir, L. Lawrence Technological University Abstract The wage of a football player is a function of numerous aspects such as the player’s skills, performance in the previous seasons, age, trajectory of improvement, personality, and more. Based on these aspects, salaries of football players are determined through negotiation between the team management and the agents. In this study we propose an objective quantitative method to determine football players’ wages based on their skills. The method is based on the application of pattern recognition algorithms to performance (e.g., scoring), behavior (e.g., aggression), and abilities (e.g., acceleration) data of football players. Experimental results using data from 6,082 players show that the Pearson correlation between the predicted and actual salary of the players is ∼0.77 (p < .001). The proposed method can be used as an assistive technology when negotiating players salaries, as well as for performing quantitative analysis of links between the salary and the performance of football players. The method is based on the performance and skills of the players, but does not take into account aspects that are not related directly to the game such as the popularity of the player among fans, predicted merchandise sales, etc, which are also factors of high impact on the salary, especially in the case of the team lead players and superstars. Analysis of player salaries in eight European football leagues show that the skills that mostly affect the salary are largely consistent across leagues, but some differences exist. -

Wir hoffen, Sie hatten eine wunderschöne und besinnliche Weihnachtszeit und wünschen Ihnen zunächst noch einmal alles Gute im neuen Jahr. Auch für die Wölfe ist die heutige Partie gegen den Hamburger SV so etwas wie ein Neustart, nach einer bislang enttäuschend verlaufenen Saison. Obwohl die beiden letzten Spiele vor dem Jahreswechsel gewonnen werden konnten, war uns in der darauf folgenden Analyse klar, dass wir in der Winterpause nachbessern und auch neujustie- ren müssen. Dabei wurde als wichtigste Maßnahme Olaf Rebbe, bis dahin Leiter Sport, zum Sportdirektor befördert und bekam alle operativen Aufgaben innerhalb des Geschäftsbereichs Sport übertragen. Olaf Rebbe hat in den ver- gangenen Jahren und gerade auch in den zurückliegenden nicht einfachen Wochen gezeigt, dass er hervorragende und nachhaltige Arbeit leistet und eindeutig die beste Lösung für den VfL Wolfsburg ist, um wieder dauerhaft in die Erfolgsspur zurückzufinden. Dahin wollen wir alle schließlich unbedingt wieder zurück. -

PROST, VFL WOLFSBURG! WOB_Unter_Woelfen_AZ_210x297-3mm_171010-RZ.indd 1 10.10.17 14:50 ANSTOSS | 3 LIEBE VFL-FANS, VEREHRTE GÄSTE, LIEBE FUSSBALLFREUNDE, wir freuen uns, Sie gleich zweimal innerhalb kürzester Zeit zu ganz besonderen Spielen in der Volkswagen Arena begrüßen zu dürfen. Am heutigen Sonntag gastiert mit der TSG 1899 Hoffenheim ein Spitzenteam der Liga in unserem Wohnzimmer, in dem nur drei Tage darauf mit dem Niedersachsenduell gegen Hannover 96 schon das nächste Highlight ansteht. Beide Partien können für unsere Mannschaft richtungsweisend sein. Die Handschrift unseres neuen Cheftrainers Martin Schmidt und seines Trainerteams ist bereits zu erkennen und trägt schon erste Früchte. In den vier Spielen unter seiner Regie sind die Wölfe noch ungeschlagen und haben am vergangenen Wochenende beim 2:2 in Lever kusen erneut eine tolle Moral bewiesen, indem sie nach zwei Rückständen nie aufgesteckt und sich in die Partie zurückgekämpft haben. Die Einstellung im Team stimmt, der Wille, unbedingt erfolgreich zu sein, ist bei jedem Spieler vorhanden. Was jetzt noch fehlt ist, dass der Bock endgültig umgestoßen und der erste Sieg unter dem neuen Coach eingefahren wird. Das würde der Mannschaft noch einmal einen enormen Schub für die kommenden Wochen bis zur Winterpause verleihen, in denen es darum geht, uns eine gute Ausgangsposition für die zweite Saisonhälfte zu verschaffen. Leicht wird es uns die TSG natürlich nicht machen. Nach der erfolgreichsten Saison der Vereinsgeschichte ist Hoffenheim auch in dieser Spielzeit wieder ganz oben im Tableau mit dabei und will sich erneut für das inter nationale Geschäft qualifizieren. -
