No manager. Owners that want out. Only 13 fit senior players. Not a penny spent in the offseason. One of their best players sold to a low- er-league club on the eve of the season. With two wins from two games, including one over reigning champion Leicester, the side from the northeast of England is confounding the grim preseason predictions and is mixing with Premier League royalty atop the fledgling standings. Hull sits alongside Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea on a maximum six points so far. One of them - United - visits the KCOM Stadium tomorrow. “I’m not sure we could have imagined or hoped for the start we’ve had,” Hull midfielder Shaun Maloney said. “But when the games come along, all the stuff off the field gets pushed to the back of your mind.” The build-up to the season couldn’t have been more different for United and Hull.

  • Mourinho at Manchester: a Study of Power at the World's
    Mourinho at Manchester: A Study of Power at the World’s Most Valuable Soccer Club This paper draws on John Kenneth Galbraith’s bestselling book, The Anatomy of Power, to reflect on the operation of power in the context of a professional soccer club. Galbraith’s framework, which is composed of three sources and three instruments of power, is first described and then illustrated via an analysis of José Mourinho’s brief tenure as manager of Manchester United. The findings offer support for Galbraith’s suggestion that the role of ‘personality’ (in this case managerial personality) is often overemphasized in accounts of power. The paper concludes with a discussion of Galbraith’s ‘dialectic of power’ – its tendency to produce countervailing expressions and positions – and focuses in particular on the social media-enhanced power of celebrity players. To paraphrase Marx, while soccer managers may make their own history, they do not do so in circumstances of their own choosing (Wagg, 2007: 442). Introduction Shortly after the death of world-famous economist and public intellectual, John Kenneth Galbraith, fellow economist Milton Friedman characterized his work as ‘not so much economics as it is sociology’ (Frank, 2006). There is much evidence to support such a characterization. Throughout his life, Galbraith fought for social justice and argued for a new kind of socialism. Indeed, rather like renowned political economist, Karl Marx, Galbraith may well have been a sociologist at heart. His most widely-read works, including the best- selling The Affluent Society (1971) and The Anatomy of Power (1985), the subject of the present paper, drew heavily on social theory – the latter beginning with an extended account of Max Weber’s theorization of power.

    REVISTA #20 diciembre/2015 ATACAR PARA GANAR, LA ESENCIA HISTÓRICA DEL JUEGO DEL BARÇA EL VIEJO PROFESOR LUCESCU AGÜERO, LESIONES Y GOLES ÚNICO E IRREPETIBLE Ilustración: Marc Vicens EDITORIAL EL CÓMO El pensamiento convencional dice: lo que importa es el resultado. Aunque matiza que también importa cómo se consigue, otorga indiscutible prioridad al resultado. Yo digo que dicho pensamiento es falaz. Lo más importante es el cómo porque el resultado siempre es y será pasajero y reemplazado. El resultado no es eterno ni duradero. El resultado se pierde sumergido en una marea de resultados en la que unos solapan y ocultan a otros. Lo que trasciende no es el resultado porque hay resultados cada día y a todas horas, resultados que enmascaran, suplen y esconden otros resultados. Hay más resultados que amaneceres. Lo que trasciende no es cuántos amaneceres vives, sino cómo los vives. El Cómo tiene mala fama por una razón fundamental: sus detractores han pretendido definir el concepto -y parecen haberlo conseguido- como algo meramente estético, cuando no es así. Ellos mismos lo reconocen si, apurados por el reloj o las angustias del resultado, apelan a “ganar como sea”. El “como sea” equivale a todo menos a un esmero estético, de ahí la contradicción estentórea. No estoy reivindicando la derrota ni negando la importancia del resultado, sino situando al Cómo en primera fila de todas las prioridades. El Cómo es trascendental. Es prioritario porque constituye nuestra auténtica elección. Es el camino que decidimos tomar. Es el guión que pretendemos escribir. Es el rostro que queremos mostrar. Es la riqueza que ansiamos atesorar.
