A Norwegian Football League Perspective Åse Jacobsen *, Morten Kringstad and Tor-Eirik Olsen NTNU Business School, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 7491 Trondheim, Norway; [email protected] (M.K.); [email protected] (T.-E.O.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Financial distress has been frequently addressed in the sports business and management literature; however, surprisingly little attention has been devoted to implications for financial viability derived from funding beyond what the Union of European Football Association (UEFA) defines as relevant income in football, henceforth referred to as extraordinary funding. This study critically discusses and reflects upon whether extraordinary funding can contribute to financial viability. To address this issue, we draw on approximately 100 financial statements for Norwegian top division clubs and their cooperating companies for three fiscal years. Results indicate that, although extraor- dinary funding contributes with sorely needed funds, thus from the outset contributing in making clubs more robust, the manner in which extraordinary funding occurs is still of great importance from a viability perspective. In this respect, it is useful to distinguish clearly between ex ante and ex post funding. While ex post funding can be argued to be counter-productive to financial viability Citation: Jacobsen, Å.; Kringstad, M.; Olsen, T.-E. Extraordinary Funding (e.g., cloaking inadequate finances, providing incentives for overspending, and rewarding clubs that and a Financially Viable Football overspend), ex ante funding is more in line with sound financial management (e.g., funds that are Industry—Friends or Foes?

    The Impact of National Policy on European Football Clubs: an Examination of Transfer

    The impact of national policy on European football clubs: An examination of transfer activity In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Global Business by ZHANG Yaoning 1025992 May, 2020 ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to explore the impact of national policy on European football clubs. In recent years, European football clubs have been breaking the transfer fees record in the transfer market, but there is a big gap in the transfer fees between clubs from different countries, so this paper explored it. Since the response of national policies in one industry is usually the epitome of the economic situation of the whole country, this paper also found the advantages and disadvantages of national policies by studying the impact of national policies on the football industry. This study used literature review and reorganized the secondary data from Deloitte, the Transfer market, Statista and other websites. This study found that in the new liberalism Britain, the football industry environment is loose, the business model is dominated by large investment, the degree of marketization is high but the economic situation is not stable. In a macro- control country like Germany, the business model is within its means, and the financial situation is relatively healthy and stable, but to some extent, it restricts the development. Italy's football clubs are mainly owned by the family business, which is in the state of monopoly of league matches by big clubs, and it caused the Matthew effect. It is important to those businessmen who want to enter the European market because this study takes the football industry as the entry point and can reflect the impact of different national policies on the industrial business model.
