Download or read book Football Business written by Tsjalle Van Der Burg and published by . This book was released on 2014-08-29 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this entertaining look at the financial issues at the heart of the beautiful game, economist Tsjalle Van der Burg addresses the many questions raised by football's transformation from sporting pastime to big business, including:* Is Wayne Rooney really worth more than Pelé?* In a match between Real Madrid and the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team, who would win?* Could a football tax help Celtic win the most prestigious European trophy?* Just how much is football worth?Football has come a long way from its roots in the middle of the nineteenth century as a sport enjoyed by amateurs who played for their local teams. Now football is serious business and boys from Wales play football for Spanish clubs, which pay £85 million transfer fees to obtain them. So have the billions invested in the game improved play, created more footballing legends and provided greater pleasure for the fans, or is high finance breaking the beautiful game?In order to answer this question Van der Burg takes us through a brief history of the business behind football, from the early not-for-profit organizations run by committees of local enthusiasts to the massive, sometimes foreign-owned, corporations we see today. He explains what European football borrowed from the American baseball business model and what it might still learn from the way US team sports are run. The book looks at the widening gap between supporter and club and explores the conflict between the common interest of all European football fans and the desire of individual clubs to generate greater revenues than their competitors through high ticket prices, merchandising and pay TV. After noting some potential problems for the future, such as the detrimental effect a European 'Super League' might have on the game, the book concludes by suggesting some intriguing and radical solutions.
Download or read book Edge written by Ben Lyttleton and published by HarperSport. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding the next superstar is a challenge for all companies, and there are plenty of tricks that the business world can learn from football's talent hothouse. There are certain quantifiable skills that you can glean from CVs, but the intangible qualities that make up the next generation of leaders are harder to spot. In Edge, Ben Lyttleton looks at football, arguably the world's biggest reservoir of talent, to learn about these immeasurable capabilities. These are personality traits from the head up that differentiate the good from the great; qualities like resilience, ambition, leadership, decision-making, adaptability and composure under pressure. How do you measure what the eye cannot see? Football has traditionally quantified talent through a rear-view mirror: looking at goals, tackles, and passes. New data can help us measure distance run, sprints made, speeds clocked, as well as time on the ball and position on the pitch. But the biggest talents in football all share characteristics that are harder to quantify. The challenge for all businesses is to understand these indeterminable traits - this is the secret to getting the best out of your talent. Edge will explain how the most innovative leaders in football are stealing a march on their rivals by identifying talent that possess these immeasurable qualities.
