Modern
soccer
is
big
business.
From
the
ill-received
takeover
of
Manchester
United
by
the
Glazer
family
to
Paris
Saint
Germain's
current
shopping
spree
for
the
best
footballers
on
the
planet,
soccer
finance
has
become
an
increasingly
important
part
of
the
game.
Barely a summer goes by now without a cherished club going into administration or a wealthy businessman funding a mid table team's ascension to Champions League competitor. Meanwhile, the twice-annual multi-million dollar merry-go-round of transfer season sees players (and now managers) signed for sums thought impossible just a decade ago. Understanding soccer finance has become essential for comprehending the beautiful game. But for many fans, soccer finance remains, frustratingly, a world that is opaque and difficult to grasp.
Stefan Szymanski, co-author of the bestsellingSoccernomics, tackles every soccer fan's burning questions inMoney and Soccer: A Soccernomics Guide. From the abolition of the maximum wage in the 1960s, through to the impact of TV money both at home and abroad in the 1990s and 2000s, Szymanski explains how money, or lack of, affects your favorite club. Drawing on extensive research into financial records dating back to the 1970s, Szymanski provides clear analysis of the way that clubs have transformed in the modern era.
This book isn't limited to European clubs. Szymanski, a renowned expert on sports management and economics, looks at what we can learn from comparing the ascension of Europe's biggest clubs to their lofty perches and with new financial models across the world. Through careful research and informative stories drawn from around the globe, Szymanski provides an accessible guide to the world of soccer finance.

Recenzii
“
In
a
series
of
academic
papers
and
his
breakthrough
book
Soccernomics
(2009),
written
with
Simon
Kuper,
Szymanski
has
applied
rigorous
economic
thinking
to
football.
He
has
helped
combat
a
sort
of
know-nothing
view
within
the
game
that
nothing
could
be
learnt
from
numbers...For
anyone
interested
in
how
football
really
works,
both
its
central
argument
and
many
subsidiary
ones
makeMoney
and
Footballpowerful
and
entertaining.”
