    In Football We Trust?

    International Journal of Business and Social Science Vol. 3 No. 8 [Special Issue - April 2012] In Football We Trust? Kevin Kelly Anglia Law School Anglia Ruskin University Bishop Hall, Bishop Hall Lane Chelmsford, Essex, CM1 1SQ United Kingdom Rhidian Lewis Principal Lecturer Anglia Law School Anglia Ruskin University Bishop Hall Lane Chelmsford, Essex, CM1 1SQ United Kingdom Thomas Richard Mortimer Dean of Law NCC Education The Towers, The Towers Business Park Wilmslow Road, Didsbury, Manchester, M20 2EZ United Kingdom Abstract There is a growing concern amongst football supporters, government and the wider community about the increasing level of financial and operational difficulties facing many of today’s professional football clubs. The focus of much of this concern currently centers on the many of the clubs owners and where their interests really lie. Clubs that were once the cornerstones of local communities run with sporting success as the primary motivator are seemingly becoming the ‘playthings’ of wealthy individuals with no links to the community or the clubs history. This paper details a history of club ownership in the Premier League through to present day. It then examines current regulation in the football industry and focuses on the applicability of Section 172 of the Companies Act 2006. The paper concludes by detailing alternative forms of ownership as a possible solution to one of footballs most enduring corporate governance challenges. Keywords: Governance, Shareholder, Stakeholder, Football, Supporter, Ownership, Community, Trust. 1. Introduction ‘I am the investor, but this is their club and their community’ Sulaiman Al Fahim (Former owner of Portsmouth FC) 2009 The transformation of top level English football clubs from focal point of the community to multi million dollar businesses is an emotive subject amongst many football fans.

    NIKE Scores with UMBRO Takeover

    Chapter 2. Selling England by the pound: NIKE scores with UMBRO takeover. This brief case study focuses on the valuation of the potential synergies leading to the share premium offered by Nike to acquire the control of UMBRO. The deal. On 15/09/07 it was reported that UMBRO plc, the listed UK sportswear manufacturer, may become a takeover target. The speculation has been prompted following the announcement that listed retailer Sports Direct International plc has built up a 9 per cent stake in UMBRO, and the latter is a major supplier to Sports Direct. On 03/10/07 it was reported that Sports has increased its holding in UMBRO to 19,201,402 ordinary shares representing a 13.14 per cent stake. UMBRO closed at GBP 1.1075 on 01/10/07, the last trading day prior to the report. On 18/10/07 it was reported that the board of UMBRO has received an approach which may or may not lead to an offer being made for the company. The identity of the potential bidder is not known. Currently, Mr. Mike Ashley, the Sports Direct tycoon, holds a 15 per cent stake in the company, but it has been suggested the bid may have come from another party. The shares in the company soared 25 per cent today and the company is now valued at around GBP 220 million. 11 Giampiero Favato and Carole Print Later on 18/10/07 it was reported that Nike may be the company behind the takeover approach for UMBRO. Both Nike and UMBRO have declined to comment.
