  • Chapter 2 Economic Model of a Professional Football Club in France
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository Chapter 2 Economic model of a professional football club in France Nicolas Scelles and Wladimir Andreff The economic model of football clubs is a revenue model but also a cost model in relation to their objective. It can be defined as the search for balance between revenues, costs and objective, and the latter can vary: profit maximization, sporting maximization under strict constraint (“hard” constraint), or “soft” budget constraint (Andreff, 2009). In France, the revenue model of football clubs has evolved with time. This mutation fits in the switch from an SSSL (Spectators-Subventions-Sponsors- Local) model to an MMMMG (Media-Magnats-Merchandising-Markets-Global) model at the European level (Andreff & Staudohar, 2000). Before 1914, sport financing came mainly from practitioners (Bourg et Gouguet, 2001, p. 19). Thereafter, with competitions as spectacle, spectators have become the primary source of revenue, ahead of the subsidies granted by the local authorities and industry patrons. Advertising revenues have gradually become more and more important and, in the 1960s and 1970s, sponsorship increased significantly as firms were seeking more direct identification in terms of audience, image, reputation and sales (Andreff et Staudohar, 2000, p. 259) . In France, during the 1970s, operating revenues of first division football clubs came mainly from the spectators, supplemented by subsidies and sponsorship. The SSSL model was at its peak, with its “L” finding its justification in the fact that the revenues were generated from local or national residents. The 1980s is the starting point of a continuous increase in the share of TV rights income for French clubs.

  • Les Bains-Douches Municipaux De La Ville De Paris
    Les bains-douches municipaux de la Ville de Paris I. Des bains publics aux bains-douches Aux XVIIIe et XIXe siècles, les bains publics de Paris sont encore majoritairement des lieux de plaisir et de divertissement raffinés1, réservés à une élite aristocratique, à l’image des pittoresques « bains chinois » construits en 1787 par Nicolas Lenoir sur le boulevard des Italiens. Cependant, l’industrialisation et l’urbanisation croissante de la capitale s’accompagnent d’un cortège de maux, promiscuité, insalubrité, propagation des épidémies - le choléra frappe la ville à plusieurs reprises dès 1832 – qui rendent nécessaire l’élaboration d’une véritable politique d’hygiène sociale en faveur des classes populaires. Cette dernière, bien étudiée par Fabienne Chevallier2, emprunte alors deux directions : une action visant à réglementer les conditions de l’habitat, avec la loi sur les logements insalubres (13 avril 1850) et un important effort de constructions, entrepris par un Etat-Providence en gestation. Dans ce domaine, comme dans celui des logements ouvriers3, Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, influencé par son séjour d’exil en Angleterre, montre l’exemple. En 1849, le chimiste Jean- Baptiste Dumas, qu’il nomme Ministre du Commerce et de l’Agriculture, confie à une commission ministérielle la responsabilité d’établir un rapport sur les établissements de bains publics anglais gratuits ou à prix réduits. Il démontre la qualité des réalisations, au bénéfice de la classe ouvrière qui s’y rend « au moins une fois par semaine »4. Le 3 février 1851 est donc voté par l’Assemblée nationale un crédit extraordinaire de 600 000 francs pour encourager les communes à créer des établissements modèles de bains et de lavoirs publics gratuits ou à prix réduits, grâce à une subvention de l’Etat pouvant atteindre les deux tiers de leur financement.

The facility is located in Sydney’s suburb of Homebush, in the middle of the Olympic Park of the Australian city. When it was inaugurated, due to its 110,000 seats, it immediately conquered the “largest Olympic stadium in the world” title and at the same time it is the largest in Australia. The structure was designed and built with the intent of respecting demanding environmental conditions: compared to other Olympic stadiums (Athens and Beijing), as an example, less steel was used.
