  • Theory of the Beautiful Game: the Unification of European Football
    Scottish Journal of Political Economy, Vol. 54, No. 3, July 2007 r 2007 The Author Journal compilation r 2007 Scottish Economic Society. Published by Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford, OX4 2DQ, UK and 350 Main St, Malden, MA, 02148, USA THEORY OF THE BEAUTIFUL GAME: THE UNIFICATION OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL John Vroomann Abstract European football is in a spiral of intra-league and inter-league polarization of talent and wealth. The invariance proposition is revisited with adaptations for win- maximizing sportsman owners facing an uncertain Champions League prize. Sportsman and champion effects have driven European football clubs to the edge of insolvency and polarized competition throughout Europe. Revenue revolutions and financial crises of the Big Five leagues are examined and estimates of competitive balance are compared. The European Super League completes the open-market solution after Bosman. A 30-team Super League is proposed based on the National Football League. In football everything is complicated by the presence of the opposite team. FSartre I Introduction The beauty of the world’s game of football lies in the dynamic balance of symbiotic competition. Since the English Premier League (EPL) broke away from the Football League in 1992, the EPL has effectively lost its competitive balance. The rebellion of the EPL coincided with a deeper media revolution as digital and pay-per-view technologies were delivered by satellite platform into the commercial television vacuum created by public television monopolies throughout Europe. EPL broadcast revenues have exploded 40-fold from h22 million in 1992 to h862 million in 2005 (33% CAGR).

  • Ligue 1 Guide 2021/22
    2021/2022 Ligue 1 Preview Guide INTRODUCTION After a historically close title race that saw four teams in the running Ligue 1 is back with no small amount of fanfare following a busy summer. Of those four sides, while Lille and Lyon have been relatively quiet as they try to consolidate under new managers, Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain have been eager participants in the mercato, buying well in a way that addresses the two sides’ needs. Nice and Rennes have also done some canny business in the offseason, to say nothing of Marseille’s flood of arrivals, but the discussions about pro- spective title favorites in France have to start and end with the capital side. Even as rumors swirl around the potential departure of Kylian Mbappé, it’s hard to argue that Paris Saint-Ger- main haven’t done their utmost to convince their young star to stay. At least, that is, if one judges by their transfer activity. The arrivals of Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Georginio Wijnaldum, and Achraf Hakimi have bolstered Mauricio Pochettino’s side in key areas whilst also adding another layer of dynamism. If he can keep his squad happy and balanced, this team looks as potent as any in Europe, Elsewhere, Monaco are probably best-equipped to challenge, even as they will have to contend with playing European football. The arrivals of Myron Boadu, Alexander Nübel and Ismail Jakobs look to be upgrades, and so long as Niko Kovac’s exciting, front-foot football remains in place and so do all of its key elements.

  • The Paradox of the Portuguese Game: the Omnipresence of Football and the Absence of Spectators at Matches to Joao Nuno Coelho and Nina Clara Tiesler
    FSAS_A_243975 .fm Page 578 Thursday, July 12, 2007 9 :38 PM • Soccer and Society Routledge Vol. 8, No . 4, Month 2007, pp. 578-600 R Taylor 6 Franco Group The Paradox of the Portuguese Game: The Omnipresence of Football and the Absence of Spectators at Matches to Joao Nuno Coelho and Nina Clara Tiesler Without doubt, football is omnipresent in the Portuguese public (and private) sphere. Some speak about the footballizaton of Portuguese society', and criticize the hegemony of football in Portuguese culture, along with it the close (and sometimes dangerous) connec- tions between football and politics . What is so interesting about this phenomenon is that it is juxtaposed with other facts, such as stadium attendance being surprisingly low. The essay brings to the forefront the particularities of the Portuguese football social formation case by taking these two current realities as a point of departure . In analysing stadium attendance over three decades against specific historical backgrounds, the authors present six different factors which explain the paradox and come to the conclusion that both realities are not contradictory – but partly determining each other. Someone was saying yesterday that Norway is the top-ranking country in human development; ( .. .) that it's a fantastic country and so on and so on ( .. .) But here's back at them . Portugal is at the top of its group and all it needs is a draw to qualify 30 for the World Cup while Norway is five points behind the leader of its group! ( .. .) Ha ha ha! [ l ] Introduction Although Portuguese football is reasonably well-known to international football fans, at least since Benfica and the national team of Eusebio & Co ., the general idea abroad that Portugal is a `football country' is much more recent (Euro 2004).

  • 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.

  • SL Benfica V Manchester United FC MATCH PRESS KIT Estádio Do Sport Lisboa E Benf, Lisbon Tuesday, 26 September 2006 - 20:45CET Group F - Matchday 2
    SL Benfica v Manchester United FC MATCH PRESS KIT Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benf, Lisbon Tuesday, 26 September 2006 - 20:45CET Group F - Matchday 2 Manchester United FC return to the scene of their demise in last season's UEFA Champions League when they visit SL Benfica on Matchday 2. Sir Alex Ferguson's side failed to reach the knockout rounds for the first time since 1994/95 after going down to a 2-1 loss in Lisbon on 7 December last year but they have a swift opportunity for revenge at the Estádio da Luz. • United are the early Group F leaders after beating Celtic FC 3-2 at Old Trafford on 13 September. Ole Gunnar Solskjær scored the winner two minutes into the second half – his first UEFA Champions League goal since 16 September 2003 against Panathinaikos FC. Louis Saha struck United's two other goals to open his account in the competition. • Benfica made a satisfactory start with a goalless draw at FC København. Paulo Jorge went closest to breaking the deadlock with a shot against the post with 15 minutes remaining. A victory for United here would leave them strongly placed at the head of the section, while three points for Benfica could take them top depending on the result of the Celtic v København match. • This is the sixth meeting between Benfica and United. The most famous was at Wembley Stadium in the final of the 1967/68 European Champion Clubs' Cup. United won 4-1 after extra time to become England's first European champions.

    CONTRACTUAL STABILITY IN PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL 0 Contractual Stability in Professional Football: Recommendations for Clubs in a Context of International Mobility Diego F. R. Compaire (Italy/Argentina) Gerardo Planás R.A. (Paraguay) Stefan-Eric Wildemann (Germany) July 2009 This research was written as a Master Thesis for the FIFA International Master (MA) in Management, Law and Humanities of Sport and was awarded the “Professor Madella Award” for the best project of the 9th Edition. CONTRACTUAL STABILITY IN PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL i - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - “Contractual stability is of paramount importance in football, from the perspective of clubs, players, and the public” FIFA Circular Letter 769. Contemporary football is caught between two very powerful concepts: the freedom of movement of players on the one side and contractual stability on the other. As it was shown by sport historians (Lanfranchi and Taylor, 2001), international migration has been part of football from the beginning. The decisions made by the European Court of Justice in relation to the Bosman case in 1995 entailed some large-scale changes in the transfer system of professional footballers. In particular, players could now freely move within the European Union at the end of their contract as any transfer fees for out-of contract players were declared illegal. Second, the ‘3+2’ rule was abandoned for EU nationals. Certainly, these legal decisions have stimulated the freedom of movement of players. As can be observed from the profile of expatriates in the top 5 European leagues (England, Spain, Italy, Germany and Spain), cultural, historic and structural reasons continue to play a vital role in the migration patterns of players (Poli, 2008).
