  • A Configuration Analysis of Scottish Football Clubs
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository The ‘Typical’ Club?: A Configuration Analysis of Scottish Football Clubs Andrew Adams Heriot-Watt University, UK Stephen Morrow University of Stirling, UK Ian Thomson University of Birmingham, UK Paper presented at the 8th Asia-Pacific Interdisciplinary Research in Accounting (APIRA) Conference, Melbourne, Australia, 13th-15th July, 2016. 1 1. Introduction Scottish professional football clubs have been facing and continue to face challenging financial circumstances due to a combination of factors including: changes in the economic structure of European football; increased concentration of media income amongst bigger leagues in larger countries; the Scottish economic context; and poor corporate governance in some clubs. These circumstances have had substantive negative consequences with many clubs running up unsustainable levels of debt, reduced squad sizes, falling attendance levels, cuts in players’ wages and in extreme cases administration or liquidation. Different clubs have adopted different solutions to these problems, some more radical than others. A number of clubs have sought new individual owners with deeper financial pockets to bail them out; some have restructured debt with their banks, which in practice has resulted in large debt write offs; while others have adopted new organisational forms such as Community Interest Companies to bring in new forms of finance and resources. Turning to the supporters was often seen as the last option for directors seeking to rescue a club. But the enthusiastic response of supporters in a number of clubs has led many involved in Scottish football now to view supporter involvement as a positive choice rather than considering supporters as ‘lenders of last resort’.

  • Season 1915-1916
    Season 1915-1916 Albion Rovers FC. Only Division One of the Scottish Football League would continue for season 1915/16. In fact as it turned out there would be only one senior League for the remainder of the war and until the beginning of season 1921/22. A few new rules were enforced for the new season. (1) No player was to play football unless engaged in another form of work during the week. (2) No club was to pay their players in excess of £1 per week. (3) Football was only to be played on Saturdays and any local holidays. The English Football League had decided to cancel any official football indefinitely, and Cricket and Horse Racing were also badly affected, so the Scottish football authorities were coming in for some serious criticism for their decision to continue. An interesting meeting was held on 28 July, on which The Scotsman commented, "In consequence of the Second Division Committee decision to abandon Scottish League competitions, a meeting was held last night to consider the situation. Representatives were present from Clydebank, Vale of Leven, Albion Rovers, Arthurlie, Abercorn, Johnstone, Dykehead, Renton, Dumbarton Harp, Royal Albert and Wishaw Thistle. It was decided to form a league to be known as the West of Scotland League, and it was agreed that matches be played on a home-and-home principle, the clubs to retain their own drawings. Stevenston United were not represented, but it was agreed to invite them to join the new league. The entrance fee was fixed at a guinea. Mr Hutchison, Arthurlie, was appointed President; Mr Colquhoun, Clydebank, Vice President; Mr Arthurlie, Renton, Secretary; and Mr Thom, Albion Rovers, Treasurer.

  • Petition Briefings Are Intended Only to Provide Background and Context to the Issues Raised and Not to Offer a Comprehensive Discussion
    Briefing for the Public Petitions Committee Petition Number: PE1371 Main Petitioner: Iain Jack Subject: Scottish Football Corporate Governance Calls on the Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to intervene in the deadlock between the parties that govern Scottish football to compel them to: (1) form one truly representative governing body, fit to deliver competent and accountable decision making processes, and (2) carry out an investigation into the public funding provided to the SFA and its partners to determine whether the objectives of this funding have been met by them. Background It should be noted that petition briefings are intended only to provide background and context to the issues raised and not to offer a comprehensive discussion. This briefing covers the issues of Scottish football’s governing bodies and a summary of the public funding received by the Scottish Football Association. Scottish Football’s Governance arrangements At present, three different authorities oversee the running of Scottish senior football. These are the Scottish Football Association, the Scottish Premier League and the Scottish Football League. The SFA is also responsible for overseeing the overall running of Scottish football at the level below the Scottish Football League such as the Highland League and the East of Scotland League. The official governing body of the game in Scotland as recognised by the Federation of International Football Federations (FIFA) is the Scottish Football Association (SFA). The SFA’s “objectives are to promote, foster and develop the game all over the country”1. The SFA are responsible for the Scottish international team, the Scottish Cup and the development of grassroots football .

  • Scottish Football – It’S a Funny Old Business
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository SCOTTISH FOOTBALL – IT’S A FUNNY OLD BUSINESS Journal of Sports Economics (2006, forthcoming) Stephen Morrow Department of Sports Studies University of Stirling Stirling (Scotland) FK9 4LA Tel: 00 44 1786 466495; Fax: 00 44 1786 466919 e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The last few years have been financially challenging for Scottish clubs: sustained losses, record levels of indebtedness, several clubs placed in administration. There are numerous reasons why Scottish football finds itself in this state. External factors like changes in the economics of football, in particular changes in football’s relationship with broadcasters have contributed; so too internal factors like poor financial management. While the need to adopt decision making and control procedures appropriate to the present financial circumstances of Scottish football is recognised, there is also a need for structural reform, both at a domestic and European level. 1 2 The last few years have been financially challenging for Scottish football clubs. The combined debt of the twelve Scottish Premier League (SPL) clubs at their 2003 year end was £186m, some £32m higher than the clubs’ combined annual turnover (PWC, 2005). In the last four seasons only one SPL club has reported a pre-tax profit. At one point in season 2003/04 a quarter of SPL clubs were in administration (Morrow, 2004). The current structure of football in Scotland consists of the SPL and three divisions of the Scottish Football League (SFL), each with ten clubs.

During Scottish football’s formative years, however, the ascendancy of the Old Firm was far from set in stone. The exhaustive study of these two extraordinary organisations, therefore, greatly distorts our understanding of Scottish football’s Victorian origins. Both clubs were part of a far greater scene which included not only fellow ‘senior’, well-established clubs, but also any number of ‘junior’, ‘juvenile’ and non-classified football clubs, as well as fledgling associations which oversaw the regulation of the young game.

  • Written Questions for PE1319 (115KB Pdf)
    PUBLIC PETITIONS COMMITTEE CONSIDERATION OF PE1319: QUESTIONS ARISING FROM COMMITTEE MEETINGS (See ‘Written submissions’ for responses) TUESDAY 26 JUNE 2012— The Scottish Football Assocation— The Committee welcomes the establishment of a Scottish FA, SPL and SFL formal working party to review the existing system of training compensation for youth players. The Committee draws the attention of the working party to the evidence received by this Committee on the issues of “contracts” and “compensation” payments. When is it expected that the review will be complete? TUESDAY 17 APRIL 2012— SportScotland— As a follow-up to the letter to the Committee of 28 February 2012 the Committee would be grateful if SportScotland would provide a summary of recent (over the last 3 years) returns at all levels of football for monies invested in the SFA Scottish Football Association— The Committee was interested to hear about the IFK Gothenburg system which does not involve players under the age of 16 effectively being under contract. In light of this, does the SFA have any plans to look at the current system of young players being “signed” and the compensation payment arrangements? TUESDAY 24 JANUARY 2012— Scottish Government— What is your view on the petitioners’ call to increase the target from 2 hours to 4 hours of curricular physical activity How does the Scottish Government monitor the use of public funds paid to the SFA from the Cashback for Communities Programme? Scottish Football Association— As discussed at the evidence session at the Public Petitions Committee meeting on 11 January 2011, what action is the SFA taking on the issues of “contracts” and “compensation” in relation to children under the age of 16? The Henry McLeish Review of Scottish football recommended that a review group be set up to consider a number of related issues facing children and young people in football.
