    BSc-Thesis – BMO Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie Name Student: Mylan Pouwels Registration Number: 991110669120 University: Wageningen University & Research (WUR) Study: BBC (Business) Thesis Mentor: Jos Bijman Date: 1-23-2020 Chair Group: BMO Course Code: YSS-81812 Foreword From an early age I already like football. I like it to play football by myself, to watch it on television, but also to read articles about football. The opportunity to combine my love for football with a scientific research for my Bachelor Thesis, could not be better for me. During an orientating conversation about the topic for my Bachelor Thesis with my thesis mentor Jos Bijman, I mentioned that I was always interested in the management strategies of organizations. What kind of choices an organization makes, what kind of resources an organization uses, what an organization wants to achieve and its performances. Following closely this process in large organizations is something I like to do in my leisure time. My thesis mentor Jos Bijman asked for my hobbies and he mentioned that there was a possibility to combine my interests in the management strategies of organizations with my main hobby football. In this way the topic Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie was created. The Bachelor Thesis Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie is executed in a qualitative research, using a literature study. This Thesis is written in the context of my graduation of the study Business-and Consumer Studies (specialization Business) at the Wageningen University and Research. From October 28 2019 until January 23 I have been working on the research and writing of my Thesis.

  • Number #9 in the TDF Top 50
    From being a small boy, I have always been a huge fan of both football and professional wrestling and at around the age of 10-years-old, I came across a monthly magazine brought to newsagents from the makers of the world famous Sports Illustrated all about pro wrestling. It was simply named Pro Wrestling Illustrated. It was a publication I regularly read as well as Shoot and Match weekly magazines to feed my football addiction. In 1991, PWI began this new craze that instantly grabbed my attention more than no other magazine had before. They revealed the 'PWI 500'. The 'PWI 500' section in the magazine listed (in rank order) the top 500 professional wrestlers in the world that year. Counting down from 500, this revealed to me many, many talents that I have not discovered as of yet. This was released every year, and still to this day is the best selling edition of the magazine each year. I studied and read and read over and over again that edition in 1991 and I came up with an idea. What if Match or Shoot revealed the top 500 footballers in the world? Thinking back to 1991, I used to love to tune into the 'BBC Radio 1 Top 40' show every Sunday afternoon too... maybe I'm a tad obsessed with countdowns. Anyways, reflecting on the idea, I thought about it each year the 'PWI 500' was released. As years went on, I felt that this would have grown into a hugely successful plan, gaining great recognition with people in the game, possibly gained its own award ceremony on TV with the emergence and exposure SKY Television in the United Kingdom was just beginning to give to the game back then.

Entre elas, quero agradecer, em especial: – Ao meu orientador, Prof. Dr. Jair Mendes Marques, pela serenidade, profissionalismo e conhecimento. – Ao meu coorientador, Prof. Dr. Anselmo Chaves Neto, pelas avaliações, observações e sugestões durante a elaboração do trabalho. – À minha família, pelo incentivo permanente e sobretudo pelo tempo em que teve de abrir mão da minha presença. – Aos meus colegas, pela amizade e incentivo nos momentos difíceis. RESUMO O futebol profissional teve seu início em 1885, na Inglaterra, com a criação das primeiras ligas oficiais. Desde então, houve muitas mudanças e evoluções, nos aspectos físicos, táticos e técnicos. Todavia, ainda existe muita subjetividade no meio, principalmente quando o objetivo é mensurar o desempenho de um atleta. Atualmente, o máximo de fundamentação teórica existente no futebol é utilizado por alguns dos grandes clubes da Europa com base em estatísticas descritivas e pontuais para decidir sobre contratações. Este trabalho propõe uma metodologia para classificar os atletas de futebol profissional baseada em seu desempenho.

Previous meetings • Serbia met Denmark for the first time as an independent nation in the 14 November 2014 Group I encounter in Belgrade. Zoran Tošić (4) gave the hosts an early lead, but Nicklas Bendtner (60, 85) and Simon Kjær (62) found the target in the second half to help Morten Olsen's visitors to a 3-1 win. • Denmark and Yugoslavia crossed paths seven times, leaving the Danes with the record W2 D0 L5 (W1 D0 L3 at home, W1 D0 L2 in Yugoslavia). Those games include a one-sided meeting at the 1984 UEFA European Championship, where Sepp Piontek's Denmark beat Todor Veselinović's Yugoslavia 5-0, Frank Arnesen (8, 69), Klaus Berggreen (16), Preben Elkjær (82) and Jan Lauridsen (84) sharing the goals. • The teams for that match at Lyon's Stade de Gerland on 16 June 1984 were: Denmark: Qvist, Rasmussen (Sivebæk 61), Morten Olsen, Busk, Nielsen, Berggreen, Arnesen (Lauridsen 78), Bertelsen, Lerby, Michael Laudrup, Elkjær.

Although the team have previewed all 18 Eredivisie sides inside these pages, this will prove to much more. Inside you will find the management hierarchy for each club, as well as updated squad lists with full squad numbers and date of births. I have provided my thoughts and betting tips on the Eredivisie season ahead while Martijn Hilhorst has give his knowledge of the new Jupiler League campaign to give you a taste for that action. So to quote the front page of this exclusive, free magazine this is... 'Your Definitive Guide to the Dutch Football Season'. Enjoy, Will Burns All transfer and statistical information included in this publication is correct as of August 6th 2015. Will Burns introduces the latest arrivals to the Eredivisie... YOUNG striker Yaya Sanogo joins the Amsterdammers on a season-long loan from Premier League giants Arsenal with a great reputation. However, spending last year at Crystal Palace in another loan deal, the 22-year-old failed to make an impact. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has a good relationship with Dennis Bergkamp and Marc Overmars and has trusted de Godenzonen to improve the youngster in a move and thinks Sanogo could help Ajax on the way: 'I am sure it will be good for Ajax and he has an opportunity to play in the Champions League and that's vital for his experience.'.

However, Youssef En-Nesyri climbed off the Sevilla bench to score twice in four minutes (69, 72) and snatch a memorable victory. • That kept Sevilla level with Chelsea on seven points at the top of Group E, with Krasnodar and Rennes both on one point after three games. If Sevilla prevail in Russia and Chelsea win at Rennes in Group A's other Matchday 4 encounter, both will be guaranteed a top-two finish. Previous meetings • The sides were drawn together in the same UEFA Europa League section in 2018/19, Krasnodar winning 2-1 in Russia thanks to strikes in the final 20 minutes from Mauricio Pereyra and, two minutes from time, Tornike Okriashvili after Charles Kaboré's first-half own goal had put Sevilla in front.
