@KieranMaguirre looks at Sunderland's 2017/18 finances - just why did Ellis Short want to get rid when they were losing £390k p/w while on £45m of parachute payments during a championship season that saw them relegated (apparently they are up for sale again with a couple of interested parties

Liverpool flutter their eyelashes at China

seems to fit the general strategic approach for the Chinese
- the city loves it's football
- has large docks that face the East Coast of America
- is a key infrastructure hub for the northern powerhouse (if it ever happens)
- has a large waterfront that is ripe for redevelopment
- it even has a large historic Chinese population

For those on here that think crazy financials only occur in the 92 of the FL and EFL - take a look at Hartlepool - relegated to the National League in 2017, almost liquidated at the end of last season (before a new owner stepped in - why do they do this?) after losing £28k a week - @KeiranMaguire has a quick look at their accounts for 2017/18

Yes it was QPR in 2012/13; £78 million which was 128% of turnover.
Athletico's was £54 million & they progressed very well in The Champions League (finalists?) on that.

Having rescued Villa within hours of Liquidation last year and then chucked a pile of money at share capital to avoid FFP, Villa's owners have stumped up another £22m in a Share Issue to the club, presumably to avoid FFP - they must be relieved with the charge up the table and form going into the play-offs

As the big boys have pursued their endless quest for more and more money, the rise of commercial teams has become increasingly important. So much so that for many it has become their single greatest source of income. Here is a Leaders in Sport podcast with the head of Real Madrid's Commercial division (I have previously posted one with Richard Scudamore see post #838)

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Managing the cost of trying to compete enough to survive while retaining sustainable model for your club is a familiar struggle in the Premier League. Some do it for short periods others for longer (often at the largesse of seemingly generous owners). It seems that within the 14, as the big six reinforce their financial might, more are finding it a struggle to maintain the recommended balance.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
There has been plenty of discussion on here recently about club valuation and more consistently the value of our club (priceless I know) Liverpool University (@kieranMaguirre has a day job too) have done a valuation for Every Premier League club and some of the results are surprising - being without debt and making regular profit certainly helps us
https://news.liverpool.ac.uk/2019/05/03 ... able-club/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I have to say that I think the approach is too simplistic and probably should include an average of the method over 3 seasons as well as looking at other factors such as opportunity for growth and issues such as infrastructure age (requirements for renewal etc). Add to that - these valuations are already out of date and we are likely to see a significant dip this time next season because of drop in prize money and lack of player sales
Of course we looked at this methodology a couple of weeks ago - Aggi's post #919 made some very good observations

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Ah the perils of having your club owned by some distant benefactor seems the stories of the Qatari owners of PSG looking at English clubs may have more substance (see post #826). Though whether they are looking to ditch PSG altogether - as is widely reported in Europe - would mean a probable huge financial loss on investment.
It does appear to support the sports washing theories of reflected glory though

Not sure if an English clubs are the best solution if you want a club that wins all, given the competitive nature of our league and the relative financial might of competitors
They do have that long running relationship with Barcelona, but it is impossible for them to own that club given it's structure

One can only hope that Qatar does ditch PSG as the French League at present is just a non-event. It is just a ridiculous competition and will remain as such until Qatar gets bored and looks for something else to play with.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Football in the community is something all clubs and football fans are proud about with good work being done all across the country. It is probably fair to say that a lot of this work engenders good will (and potential future support) from those impacted for the club associated with the effort. All such initiatives are supported by grants from the Premier League, but as ever, the distribution on those grants is far from equitable, meaning that many clubs through no fault of their own are disadvantaged.
@AndyhHolt has created a bit of s**tstorm with his post on the subject this morning - I have to say I have some sympathy especially as some clubs are using it as an outreach model for their academies and future fanbase and masking the approach by claiming it is charitable work

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Brentford are regarded by many as a model club, buy players develop them using very specialised metrics and coaching methods then sell them on for a significant profit all the while maintaining a top 10 status in the Championship, they shut their academy and will be moving to a new ground after next season. So are they all they seem.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
me too - owner has pumped over a £100m - best part of £70m to cover losses - he has a plan and so far it is working but that is one heck of a betGodIsADeeJay81 wrote:It's usually the first thing I look at when checking Swiss ramble.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
We at Burnley are familiar with relegation clauses in players contracts, but this is the first time I have heard of Champions League clauses - it transpires that members of Man Utd's squad (that survive into next season) will see 25% pay cuts as a result of their failure to finish in the top 4.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Good! at last some sense in the mad football world,didn't seem to motivate them much in the last few weeks,mind you when you're on silly money anyway,a 25% dip won't make a huge dent.Chester Perry wrote:We at Burnley are familiar with relegation clauses in players contracts, but this is the first time I have heard of Champions League clauses - it transpires that members of Man Utd's squad (that survive into next season) will see 25% pay cuts as a result of their failure to finish in the top 4.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
The Barca President effectively comes out in support of Andrea Agnelli's proposals for European Club competition

They stopped being "more than a club" some time ago - Biggest Revenues, Biggest Wage bill and the way they have exploited and bullied away fans in the Champions League is nothing short of a disgrace

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
First saw mention of DAZN (pronounced da zone - yeah I know) in posts #983 and #985, this is a player in the sports rights marketplace that is effectively seeking to be the Netflix of sport. so who are they and who runs them

could this model work for domestic PL tv rights in the future, my guess is, without the strong figurehead of a Scudamore type, it would precipitate the breaking of the collective bargaining as they would want to sell season tickets by club with additional matches on PPV.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
@kieranMaguirre reminds us that Championship clubs have lost a combined £1.865bn over the last 5 years - With Sheff Wed and Bolton to report a third of that total came in last season for which we have accounts

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
After a few days off @AndyhHolt has returned with another of his monologues, today (as often) about the pyramid, the vast amounts of money in the game, the vast amount of clubs financially broken, the ineffective liassez-faire of the FA EFL and PL, and most depressing of all how he believes all this will kill clubs like ours and his going forwards. it pairs very well with the previous post from @KieranMaguirre

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
meanwhile in a galaxy not very far way at all - the ECA and PL big six must be salivating at the though of taking advantage of this

fortunately they are on a little 2 day get together in Madrid together with the European Leagues ostensibly trying to agree a way forward for European competition (even though the clubs have already decided what they want),

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
A new podcast on the sports business, starts with a look at the rise of the premier league - on multiple platforms

https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s ... 0428384317" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Edit this is actually very informative about both what has happened and what could happen, including a good section on Man City and how they are pushing boundaries - I caution it is form a single perspective but well worth a listen

A report looking at Governance and Finances across the Big European Leagues

A quick takeaway - PSG and Juve earn more in tv rights from UEFA competition than their domestic leagues - makes Andrea Agnelli's push understandable from his perspective

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
I have been referencing Simon Chadwick for a while now - here he joins the Sports Inc podcast to talk about the eastern influence on sport that I have posted before - multiple platforms as before
