  • Ignorance, Envy and Jealousy
    James Ward (England 1769 - 1859) Ignorance, Envy and Jealousy Signed with monogram `JWD RA' and dated `1837' Oil on canvas 48 x 66 ¼ in. - 122 x 168.3 cm. James Ward is famous for his bravura, often anthropomorphic paintings of animals, but he always sought to present his work in a dramatically elevated setting that epitomized the Romantic movement of his day. He considered allegorical painting to be the most important form of artistic expression, and the present work is a significant example of Ward boldly tackling an elevated allegorical theme. Ignorance, Envy and Jealousy is a powerful dramatization of the conflict between good and evil, and the full title given in the Royal Academy exhibition of 1838 was Ignorance, Envy and Jealousy filling the throat and widening the mouth of Calumny; endeavouring to bear down Truth as an unshaken Pyramid founded on a rock, appearing in the catalogue with a quote from an obscure poem, Vide The Den, by Molus Burrowdell. Ward was clearly staking his claim as a painter of greater artistic and imaginary scope than a mere animal painter and it is thought that the present work was painted to challenge a reviewer who in 1835 had claimed that `His riches are in horses and cattle and he should not quit the farm'. Aside from obvious associations of this critic to ignorance, envy and jealousy, the painting poignantly reveals Ward's belief in the perpetual state of conflict between good and evil, truth and light being the ultimate means to salvation, as Edward Nygren (op. cit.) makes clear.

Yes, but we are proposing to deliver much more than just a new stadium. This is explained below. QPR’s current ground at Loftus Road only has capacity for circa 18,000 spectators. This is considerably less than the Club needs to be financially sustainable at the highest level. Our capacity is the smallest in the Premier League and would be the 5th smallest in the Championship. Additionally, the current ground is dated and the spectator and commercial facilities provided are not of a modern standard.

  • The Strategy and Performance of Premier League Football Clubs
    How and Why do Professional Sport Clubs Succeed? The Strategy and Performance of Premier League Football Clubs HENLEY BUSINESS SCHOOL THE UNIVERSITY OF READING DOCTOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION ICMA CENTRE ANDY STEVENS 21 DECEMBER 2018 Declaration I confirm that this is my own work and the use of all material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged. i Certificate of readiness to be included in library I grant powers of discretion to the University Librarian to allow this thesis to be copied in whole or in part without further reference to me. This permission covers only single copies made for study purposes, subject to normal conditions of acknowledgement. ii Abstract Abstract Since 1992, the Premier League has experienced considerable growth and, in 2015/16, had transformed into an industry – albeit one comprising just 20 firms – that generated revenue of £5.3 billion (Deloitte, 2017a). The business models of the clubs has evolved so that they now generate over half of their income from broadcast revenue, compared to less than one-tenth in the inaugural Premier League season in 1992/93. Much of the growth in broadcast revenue has been from overseas markets, while, contemporaneously, owners, players, team managers and business executives have also become globalised. The Premier League and its member clubs have been transformed into global brands. 18 of the 50 most valuable football club brands are members of the Premier League (Brand Finance, 2018), with Manchester United's brand alone valued at £1.4 billion. Clubs in England and Wales have been able to generate and appropriate considerable revenue by commercialising their resources and performance.

Introduction “Twenty-seven years ago Charlton Athletic were unknown… Now, at Wembley Stadium on Saturday a crowd just short of 100,000, among them the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Prime Minister and members of his Cabinet, acclaimed the South London club as FA Cup Winners. The triumph is Charlton’s greatest in a short history full of remarkable achievements” 1. As Charlton Athletic became the first professional football 2 club from London to hoist the FA 3 Cup trophy in the postwar era, the club played a role in the social revival of London within the immediate devastation of World War II.

  • Councillor Paul Maslin
    1) Would you support the introduction of a fresh compulsory purchase order over the land (“the Millwall land”) currently owned by Lewisham Council and leased to MFC and MCT? Yes. 2) Do you support the sale of the freeholds of the Millwall land? Yes (excluding the stadium). 3) Would you support Millwall Football Club’s ambition to participate in the regeneration of the land around our stadium, provided such participation was in accordance with the Core strategy? I’m not sure if you are talking just about the land you lease from the Council, or the other land beyond that, that is in the Core Strategy and in the main owned by Renewal. Are you talking about the whole of the site now known as New Bermondsey that is identified in the Core Strategy? The Council’s position has always been that its preferred option was for Renewal and the Club to come to an agreement about the comprehensive redevelopment of the whole site in accordance with its Core Strategy. In response to the failure of the parties to reach such an agreement, the Mayor & Cabinet even agreed a pause in the CPO process last year to allow one last effort to be made for Renewal and the Club to come to terms. The Club’s response to this opportunity was to repeatedly delay agreeing to set a date for the meeting. Then, when they did finally agree to meet, no one from the Club attended. Instead, they sent external representatives who were not empowered to negotiate or authorised to make agreements.
