  • The Economic and Legal Aspects of Transfers of Players
    KEA – CDES: Study on the economic and legal aspects of transfers of players The Economic and Legal Aspects of Transfers of Players JANUARY 2013 KEA – CDES: Study on the economic and legal aspects of transfers of players KEA – CDES: Study on the economic and legal aspects of transfers of players KEA – CDES: Study on the economic and legal aspects of transfers of players EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I. Transfer of Players in Sport Professional transfers are regulated by a complex set of regulations established by sports governing bodies. Rules are subject to a large degree of standardisation at international level through international sports institutions such as FIFA for football and FIBA for basketball. The justification for international standardisation stems from the ambition to make competition rules universal in order to promote international sporting exchanges. The extensive autonomy granted to sporting bodies for the self-regulation of their activities is a fundamental characteristic of sport as compared to other economic and social activities. The transfer environment is subject to different layers of rules and regulations. The study aims to document the different layers of rules and to consider their interactions. Transfer rules in sport are a derogation from normal employment practices in the following ways: i) They limit the freedom of players to move from one employer to another and set restrictive conditions for such moves. Contracts may be terminated by either party without consequences (such as sporting sanctions) only if justified by “just cause”1; ii) They establish a system of transfer fees between clubs in order to prevent a total ban on players’ mobility.

  • The Effect of Player Transfers on Stock Prices
    Master Thesis The effect of player transfers on stock prices An event study on European listed football clubs D. de Bakker BSc ANR: 874098 Supervisor: Prof. Dr. L.D.R. Renneboog Second reader / Chairperson: Dr. O.G. De Jonghe Department of Finance Graduation date: 14-11-2016 Abstract This study is conducted in the field of behavioral finance where certain events, in this case player transfers, are linked to asset prices. For 15 listed football clubs, player transfers as well as player and club characteristics have been examined for their effect on the stock price of the accompanying club through affecting the mood of investors. The results show that investors do appreciate both the acquiring of players as well as selling them, since significant higher stock prices were found at the first, second and 9th day after the deal was closed. These effects were also found on the short term, namely for the interval from the day before until the day after the transfer deal. Moreover, the more fees a team receives from transfers, the stronger the positive relationship between transfers and stock returns tends to be. This holds especially for the acquisition of middle aged experienced players, while buying a particular younger or older player for a high fee is followed by a negative impact on the stock price of buying clubs. This confirms the ‘overpricing’ effect partially, since the effect is not incorporated in all transfer making. The higher a club’s interest coverage, the lower stock returns are after sales, while higher stock prices are found after acquisitions whenever the club has high return on assets.

Co to jest, że jest dobra? Какой же он хорош? An objective assessment of achievement set against resources Arsenal in the Wenger era: presentation for AST By Nick Harris of Sportingintelligence 1 BACKGROUND - By Nick Harris This paper was commissioned by the Arsenal Supporters’ Trust but beyond setting a remit of examining Arsene Wenger’s reign from an economic point of view, the AST had no input, no editorial veto - and no influence on the conclusions. It was when I was living in Japan in the mid 1990s that I first became acquainted with the work of Arsene Wenger, who was hired by Nagoya Grampus Eight in early 1995 after being sacked by Monaco at the end of 1994. Wenger quickly acquired a reputation as a cerebral coach and was described locally as Wenger- sensei - ‘sensei’ being the Japanese word for teacher but also more widely a term of respect for any educator in the widest sense. I wasn’t familiar with his work at Monaco in detail and when he was hired at Arsenal in 1996, I was sent by The Independent, for whom I was then doing some freelance sports work, alongside my Japanese newspaper day job, to be among the many asking: Arsene Who? I should point out at this stage that I am not an Arsenal fan; I am a lifelong supporter of Arsenal’s feeder club, also known as Southampton.

    CIES Football Observatory Monthly Report Issue 27 - September 2017 Transfer market analysis: tracking the money (2010-2017) Drs Raffaele Poli, Loïc Ravenel and Roger Besson 1. Introduction The study of the transfer market constitutes one of the key areas of research of the CIES Football Observatory. This report analyses the paying fee transfers having taken place since 2010 which involved teams of the five major European championships: the English Premier League, the Spanish Liga, the German Bunde- sliga, the Italian Serie A and the French Ligue 1. The first chapter analyses from a historical perspective the sums invested in transfer fees. The second part presents the financial accounts at club level from the latest trans- fer window, as well as the principle net mon- etary flows between leagues. Finally, the third section examines the transfer operations from the point of view of the gap between fees paid and values estimated by the algorithm that we have developed1. 1 About this, see the research note How to evaluate a player’s transfer value? 1 Monthly Report 27 - Transfer market analysis: tracking the money (2010-2017) 2.
