The Mario Balotelli Approach to Applications for Payment
Why always me? The Mario Balotelli approach to Applications for Payment Finally Mario looks to have left the Premier League after what can only be described as a disappointing year at Liverpool. There are lots of different stories in the press about where it all went wrong for him (including skipping training to get the new iPhone 6) but the facts are much more straightforward: he didn’t do what he agreed to do under the terms of his contract. When Liverpool signed Balotelli this time last year, his contract allegedly contained good behaviour and performance related payment conditions. If Mario managed to turn up for training every day, play every week and not have any firework displays in his bathroom, he would receive a reported £2m per year in addition to his basic salary. Over his three year contract, that’s six million pounds for sticking to a few basic rules! If you’re feeling a little envious of Super Mario, don’t worry, he’s unlikely to get any of his £6m (just a meagre £90,000 a week basic salary) because he didn’t manage to stick to any of the conditions! In between checking the news every day to see if Liverpool had managed offload Balotelli and his £90k per week wage burden, I couldn’t help but be distracted by articles in the construction press about payment applications, payment notices and payment related disputes. After the changes to the Construction Act came in to force in 2011, the floodgates seemed to open last year with the case of ISG Construction Ltd v Seevic College, where Seevic’s failure to issue a Payment Notice in accordance with the terms of the contract meant that they had to pay £1.1m to ISG rather than the £300k they considered due under the contract.

Media Value in Football Season 2014/15
MERIT report on Media Value in Football Season 2014/15 Summary - Main results Authors: Pedro García del Barrio Director Académico de MERIT social value Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC Barcelona) Bruno Montoro Ferreiro Analista de MERIT social value Asier López de Foronda López Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC Barcelona) With the collaboration of: Josep Maria Espina Serra (UIC Barcelona) Arnau Raventós Gascón (UIC Barcelona) Ignacio Fernández Ponsin (UIC Barcelona) www.meritsocialvalue.com 2 Presentation MERIT (Methodology for the Evaluation and Rating of Intangible Talent) is part of an academic project with vast applications in the field of business and company management. This methodology has proved to be useful in measuring the economic value of intangible talent in professional sport and in other entertainment industries. In our estimations – and in the elaboration of the rankings – two elements are taken into consideration: popularity (degree of interest aroused between the fans and the general public) and media value (the level of attention that the mass media pays). The calculations may be made at specific points in time during a season, or accumulating the news generated during a particular period: weeks, months, years, etc. Additionally, the homogeneity amongst the measurements allows for a comparison of the media value status of individuals, teams, institutions, etc. Together with the measurements and rankings, our database allows us to conduct analyses on a wide variety of economic and business problems: estimates of the market value (or “fair value”) of players’ transfer fees; calculation of the brand value of individuals, teams and leagues; valuation of the economic return from alliances between sponsors; image rights contracts of athletes and teams; and a great deal more.
