    WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 2014 SPORTS Italy coach Conte shrugs off wages controversy ROME: New Italy coach Antonio Conte brushed aside controversy over his wages, which will be part funded by the national federation’s spon- sors, when he was officially presented yesterday. “Nobody imposes anything on me. My eyes and those of my assistants will be the judge, not sponsors nor newspapers,” he told reporters after succeeding Cesare Prandelli. Conte, who was appointed last week and takes charge of his first match against Netherlands in a friendly in Bari on Sept. 4, previously led Juventus to three successive Serie A titles in as many seasons. The media pointed out a possible conflict of interest after the Italian federation (FIGC) said it had reached an agreement with sponsors, including sportswear manufacturers Puma, to help fund Conte’s wages. “Everyone who knows me knows that this is not a problem,” said the new coach after signing his contract. “My con- tract falls within Italian federation parameters. There is a winning mentality and it’s right for the FIGC to reach an agreement with the sponsors. “Unlike my predecessors I have given up all my image rights,” added Conte. “For me the contro- versy over this contract is secondary, I want to work and there is a long and tortuous road in front of us. “I will prove myself with facts, not with words, ROME: New Italian Football Federation (FIGC) president Carlo Tavecchio (right) poses with as I have always done.” FIGC president Carlo Italy’s national football team new coach Antonio Conte, prior to a press conference in Rome Tavecchio said the agreement with the sponsors yesterday.

  • Keeping Possession: Ownership Trends in English Premier League Football Keeping Possession: Ownership Trends in English Premier League Football
    Keeping Possession: Ownership trends in English Premier League football Keeping Possession: Ownership trends in English Premier League football Introduction The English Premier League (EPL) is fast approaching the end of its third decade, having begun in 1992. The first decade saw an influx of foreign players who changed the way the game was played. Instead of England’s best players going to play in Europe (Kevin Keegan, Gary Lineker, Glenn Hoddle), Europe’s best players started to come to play in England (Eric Cantona, Gianfranco Zola, Dennis Bergkamp). On Boxing Day in 1999, Chelsea became the first English club to field an entire team of foreign nationals. The 2000s saw the arrival of the overseas manager. Arsène Wenger, Ruud Gullit and Gérard Houllier had arrived in the 1990s, followed in the 2000s by José Mourinho, Rafael Benitez, Sven-Göran Eriksson, Claudio Ranieri and Luiz Felipe Scolari. They combined with the overseas players to make the EPL a melting pot of new tactics and new formations and delivered a brand of exciting football which went beyond the EPL’s wildest dreams to a global audience whose national leagues could not compete. The global audience brought the global money. The 2010s have seen the rise of the overseas owners, bringing new markets and new commercial revenues and complete transformations of some clubs – Sheikh Mansour at Manchester City, Fenway Sports Group at Liverpool, King Power at Leicester – none of whom were anywhere near winning the EPL before being acquired by wealthy overseas investors. The 2010s saw the influx of wealthy overseas investors on a scale unprecedented in any other league or sport, as highlighted by the “league table” below and the analysis of ownership of each EPL club set out in the Annex to this report.

Manchester United's Class of ‘92 Abstract The Class of ‘92 is a documentary film which features six Manchester United F.C. players who recount their time during a pivotal period for the club, English football and English society. The documentary claims to offer a commentary of Britain in the 1990s, but appears, without acknowledging the fact, to be a promotional vehicle to establish the six men as a brand labelled the Class of ’92. Creating this brand necessarily involved presenting a selective account of their time and place with the film being little more than an advertisement, masquerading as an observational documentary. The film draws freely upon the symbolic capital held by the club and the city of Manchester and uses the Busby Babes/Munich chapter and the more recent ‘Madchester scene’ to forge a Class of ’92 brand by editing out those elements that did not accord with this project.

  • Valencia Cf Business Plan and Financial Valuation
    FACULTAD DE CIENCIAS ECONOMICAS VALENCIA CF BUSINESS PLAN AND FINANCIAL VALUATION Autor: Miguel Arias Prats Director: Miguel Arjona Madrid 26 de junio de 2017 VCF Business plan Page 1 VCF Business plan Page 2 Abstract The purpose of this work is to understand how changes in the strategic decisions in a football team administration can influence in the achievement of competitive and financial objectives. The selected team to conduct this work will be Valencia Club de Fútbol, a historical top tier team in Spain, which is currently underperforming in the Spanish League due to a naïve, inefficient management of the strategy and the resources of the team. Of course, profitability, as in any other industry, is crucial to maintain a sustainable business. However, in order to achieve financial stability, the results that the team may achieve during the season will be decisive in the final economic result of the year. Therefore, this paper will be focused on the core activity management and how the strategic plans can be settled in order to obtain the maximum outcome from the team (football results), and consequently from the firm (economic and financial growth). Finally, I will perform a financial valuation of the firm in order to know the maximum price to be paid by a hypothetical potential investor willing to undertake this business plan. The difference between this price and the current value of the Equity will set the range of future negotiations and will determine the attractiveness (over or under valuated) of the firm. To be able to put into context all the information regarding Valencia Club de Fútbol, during the course of this paper I will develop several analyses about the football industry.
