Questions And Concerns Regarding Your Football Club Facing Problems

I had tried out for the High School football team but unfortunately was cut. I worked hard over the summer and even passed on the family vacation to North Carolina to attend football conditioning at the school. Even with all of my effort put towards running and weightlifting I was still cut. That however did not stop me from playing the sport I love. I had heard of a local pigskin football league that allowed any teen my age to play. I immediately conversed with my parents and received their permission to sign up.

Will football one day be played with balls made from gold? At its current rate, anything could happen, but it would have to have a few brand logos stapled to it first.

The UEFA FFP Regulations is about improving the financial health of European football club (UEFA, 2014). The regulation have came in force at the end of 2012 season where all clubs had to abide to the rules and regulations to obtain the license to play in the UEFA Champions League (UEFA, 2010). Deloitte (2014a, p. 2) refers the FFP break-even requirement as ‘a change potentially as profound as that brought about by the Bosman ruling.’

In and outside of the classroom, learning about both the Spanish language and culture has always interested me. To delve myself into the culture, I decided to join Spanish Club and the Spanish National Honors Society, both which allowed me to experience and better understand the eccentric Hispanic culture.

The Financial Fair Play draws attention to the reported losses made in European football over the past fifteen years. As football started to grow at an exponential rate, the losses started to mount also. As far back as the early 2000s, several clubs football clubs went bankrupt and faced administration while dealing with huge substantial losses. Prior to the season before the financial fair play was introduced, it was noted that 12 out of the 20 clubs reported an overall loss. This led to the Premier League pre-tax losses reaching an all-time unwanted record of £445 million in 2009/10 and a debt around £3.1 billion in 2008/2009 (Deloitte, 2011). The profitability of the league and its clubs in relation to the Financial Fair Play is determined by the profit and loss accounts (relevant income minus relevant expenses) which aligns with UEFA’s requirement for clubs to break even and improve their profitability. Another two objectives of the regulations mentioned previously also relate to profitability; which are:

As the planning committee had addressed, these past few years have been a financial struggle. Clear indicators of this struggle are represented by our current financial profile. Our credit rating

I choose a topic about the finances of the Washington Redskins who are part of the largest sports league in North America, the National Football league. I have always been intrigued by the teams earning potential and while being part of one of the most controversial branding battles in league history regarding the team’s name, they consistently rank in the top three in annual revenue. Amidst the team’s on-going controversy, could residing in the major sports market of the National Capital region aid to the Washington football teams financial success or does being part of the $8 billion dollar corporation known as the National Football league guarantee’s substantial returns?

It was opening night for our football team, a chilly night in September against one of our rivals, the Nickerson Panthers. The stands were packed like a can of sardines. Our team had been ruling the scoreboard all night, but now the panthers were in the red zone threatening to score. Three years ago we wouldn’t have had a chance against this team, but now we had the upper hand. Through the weightlifting program and improvement of team building, success is inevitable. Our football team is a great example of how hard work and great leadership not only pull a group of kids, but also a whole community together.

I would say that my nature as a person is lonesome and introverted. That’s not to say I don’t like to talk with my friends or hang out, I’m just more likely to be by myself reading a book. Even then I kept company with people who honestly were very much like me , as in nerdy, asian, and keep to themselves. The football team at my school was nothing like that. In my school there seems to be no ethnic majority, and that reflected in the football team. Joining the football team exposed me to a lot of people who were very different from me and those who surprised me with the connections I shared with them.

Football is a sport in which a team is faced with adversity on every play.

Culture within an organisation is a system of shared values, beliefs and norms of individuals in the organisation and how the value consensus creates a way in which people behave. The shared values have a strong influence on the individuals in the organisation and dictates how a person acts, dresses and performs in their job. A unique culture is developed and maintained by an organisation which provides guidelines and boundaries, through informal means, for the behaviour of the people within the organisation.

During the 1800’s Great Britain’s empire stretched around the world, and with raw materials easily available to them this way, they inevitably began refining and manufacturing all stages of many new machines and other goods, distributing locally and globally. However, despite being the central ‘workshop of the world,’ Britain was not producing the highest quality of merchandise. When comparing factory-made products made in England to surrounding countries, most notably France, those products could not compare as far as craftsmanship and sometimes, simply innovation. It was suggested by Prince Albert that England host a sort of free-for-all technological exposition to bring in outside crafts into the country and also

Professional football clubs need revenue. It is vital to the financial survival of a club as they have ultimately become a business. Money is a vital necessity to enable the club to function. From paying ground rent to the funding of the youth system and to even signing players for the clubs, it is fundamental that a club is making a profit. The owners of the clubs will want to see profits being made otherwise the club will eventually no longer be able to function.

Communication is the foundation of accomplishments for both animals and humans, functioning as a team to obtain a common goal. For those who enjoy football, have seen communication as it’s finest; while watching Peyton Manning break the huddle after giving the play only to see the defense is set up to stop the play. At this point he begins to audible alerting team members that the play called previously has changed. Peyton, was very successful during his playing days, considered to be one of the greatest quarterbacks to play the game. While football is just a sport to the spectator. It was Peyton’s business and he flourished as a team leader using effective communication, winning two superbowls. .According to Guffey and Loewy (2013) productive team members articulate ideas clearly and concisely, recognize nonverbal cues, and listen actively.

With normative stakeholder theory one tries to explain (in these settings) why football clubs should take into account the interests of the stakeholders. It is easy to sympathize with the customer group in this matter. They are the foundation stone that has built the club through the years and they have invested money, emotions and their private time. But they are not as important as they once was for the club. This given that another stakeholder group (Suppliers e.g. broadcasting companies, sponsors etc.) now serves the business with monetary funding’s, hence the times have changed. Ultimately though, the suppliers will almost certainly vanish if the customers stop buying the product. Shareholders and employees can easier than the customers in this case find another business to join, they are not exclusive in the same way as the customers.
