  • Success and Progression of Home-Grown Players in English Professional Football
    Football Labour Migration: An Analysis Of Trends and Experiences of Northern Irish Players Christopher A. Elliott A Thesis Submitted In Partial Fulfilment Of The Requirements Of Liverpool John Moores University For The Degree Of Master Of Philosophy June 2017 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my Director of Studies Dr Martin Littlewood for his guidance and support throughout the production of this major project in fulfilment of Master of Philosophy (MPhil). Without your continued support and encouragement this major project would not have been a possibility and for this I am extremely grateful. I would also like to thank my wife Claire for her support and motivation throughout the completion of the thesis. Without your love, support and assistance this thesis would never have been a possibility. I would like to also thank Lynda Gallogly for her assistance; this was greatly appreciated and I am extremely grateful for all your help. In memory of Samuel Douglas Beacom 2 Abstract Rationale – Academic literature regarding football (and labour migration) to date has examined factors that influence migration trends and explanations as to why players potentially migrate (see Magee & Sugden, 2002; Elliott & Weedon, 2011). Whilst others (see Maguire & Pearton, 2000a; Elliott & Weedon, 2011) have examined player acquisition trends of clubs at specific time periods. However, there is a lack of research examining player acquisition trends over a longitudinal period thus prompting the current research and the perceived implications for indigenous home- grown players (and specifically Northern Ireland players). Study 1: Method / Results – A categorical database was created using both Excel (utilised for descriptive statistics) and the Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS V.22; utilised for coding and refining of data) which enabled the efficient management and analysis of data (5072 players).

  • The Case of the Redcar and Cleveland Boot Room Abstract Th
    1 Using Football Cultures as a Vehicle to Improve Mental Health in Men: The Case of the Redcar and Cleveland Boot Room Abstract This paper sets out to appraise (from the perspective of members) the impact of a localised, football-based mental health intervention. Commissioned in late 2015, the ‘Redcar and Cleveland Boot Room (BR)’ was implemented in response to mass redundancy in the local area, coupled with regional suicide rates in men that exceed the national average. Interactive discussions with BR members revealed that: (a) the language of football and shared identity were important for initiating and sustaining engagement in the BR; (b) peer-support and mentoring combined with member-led activities were active ingredients of the BR; and (c) that the BR was an effective vehicle for building mental health resilience. This evaluation adds to the evidence base on the value of football as a context to engage adult males in community-based interventions targeting mental health resilience. 1 2 Introduction Official statistics reveal that one in four people in the UK will experience a mental health problem every year (The Health & Social Care Information Centre 2009). Mental health problems are the single largest cause of disability in the UK at a cost to the economy of £70 to £100 billion per annum (Mental Health Foundation 2015). People with mental health problems are substantially less likely to receive treatment than those with physical problems. This trend is coined ‘the need-treatment gap’ (Chief Medical Officer’s report 2014) given that only a quarter of people with mental health problems are in receipt of treatment (The Health & Social Care Information Centre 2009).

  • Notes on Passing Rhythms Liverpool FC and the Transformation of Football
    Notes on Passing Rhythms Liverpool FC and the Transformation of Football Bill Shankly and Liverpool From 1976 to 1990 Liverpool won an astonishing 10 League titles in 15 seasons, finishing 2nd in all other seasons except 1980,81 – they also won the FA Cup twice and the European Club Champions 4 times. By way of contrast, in the 1990s, Liverpool won but 2 trophies. Bill Shankly, Liverpool manager from 1959 – 1974 became the founding father of the ‘modern’ Liverpool club. The playing styles adopted by Liverpool teams emphasized passing and movement with the importance of teamwork. Upon Shankly’s arrival in 1959, he convinced the board to ‘modernize’ the poorly developed training facilities at Melwood and transferred out 24 players in just over a years time, bringing in key young replacements. He will make players learn to kill the ball and move it all in the same action … he will make them practice complete mastery of the ball. In addition to Shankly, the most important of all the coaching staff was Bob Paisley. He often compared players to racehorses, noting their common ‘edginess’, and also the ways in which both responded to different sorts of training , dependent upon their temperament. Paisley was more a players’ pal than was Shankly. Nine points of Shankly: Obsession :– he was so obsessed that he would relate any topic of conversation to football. There are many quotes, too numerous to mention, to make the point. Scottish Socialism: - part of the Liverpool success at the time was built around the socialist ethic of collective effort with equal wages and no prima donnas.

In particular, I would like to express my sincere thanks to my tutor and mentor Mr Stephen Grima, who always believed in me and who along the past years was the person responsible for all my coaching education and through his unwavering support and guidance helped me become the coach I am today. My gratitude goes to all the Coaches who assisted me to carry out qualitative research by filling in questionnaires and meeting for one to one interviews. I would also like to express my thanks to my course colleagues, some of whom were rivals on the pitch but throughout the past two tough years together, we established a great rapport based on respect and friendship. But most importantly, I would like to thank my parents, my wife and my two kids Miguel and Julia, who gave me all the support I badly needed and who did not mind taking on the weight I was not carrying during the past two years.

  • The Influence of Overseas Coaching and Management on the Occupational Subculture of English Professional Football
    The influence of overseas coaching and management on the occupational subculture of English professional football Graham Smith A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Brighton for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2011 i Abstract As an area of academic and popular interest it is generally acknowledged that migrant British players and coaches were instrumental in football‟s global diffusion and that different technical and tactical emphases developed according to particular geographical locations and cultural milieu. As the twentieth century unfolded the trend reversed with increased inward flows of elite foreign playing and coaching labour into the upper tiers of UK football, challenging the distinctive and erstwhile dominant occupational culture of the English game. This study examines this process of sub-cultural adaptation. It is principally concerned with critical evaluation of the dynamics of occupational culture modification and any resultant tensions evidenced between expatriate and indigenous coaching talent and other interest groups operating within the higher echelons of English professional football. Owing to issues associated with access, the occupational subculture of elite level football is impenetrable to most researchers. Previous employment in professional football allowed this author to overcome such impediments, permitting access to a range of high status national and international players and coaches affecting and affected by occupational sub-cultural change (n=25). This enabled the deployment of a distinctive ethnographic paradigm combining insider knowledge and grounded experience with academic orthodoxy. The ensuing study is built upon critical analysis of rich data collected in semi-structured interviews, adding a fresh dimension to understanding the impact of globalisation on top tier professional English football.
