Finance grass roots? redistribution to less wealthy clubs? Big question for Real Madrid and FC Barcelona which at some points will not be able to spend all the cash on players and find a road to profits... <br />For sure after concerns over financial troubles of Football clubs there will be (for a small part of them) concerns over governance and redistributions of profits. How will react a Arsenal fan seing the cash flowing out of the club to the shareholder?

Otherwise you may have trouble replicating their "model". <br /><br />However, the value of Bayern's commercial income probably also reflects the number and wealth of their German supporters, where as the City and PSG deals don't make sense to an observer without accounting for the ownership needing to pump money into the club.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487486960623783530.post-5829224433224740722015-02-12T10:35:46.791+01:002015-02-12T10:35:46.791+01:00Interesting blog, as usual.

No wonder Germany is behind in tv deal, because they are owned by the fans. <br /><br />All the growth is just technological improvement not premier league splitting off football league! In Germany dfl bundesliga work together. Things better in Germany and nfl, they are best for the fans.<br />51% fan owned mean lower ticket price unlike pl. No name change without fan permission.<br />High average attendance, lots of tickets sold are not attended.<br />Lower tv sub cost, watch as sky bt price goes up even for broadband.<br />Need balanced book to get licenced So less debt why does pl with 5bl have any debtdebt.<br />Winter break helps win world cup, and recover injuries.<br />More home grown players as apposed to off the self.<br />In uk you only see 168 matchs out of 380 less then 50% where as nbc in us show 380 marchs live!<br /><br />Only thing would improve it is salary cap and nfl style split of revenue where 32 team get equal share even shirts, matchday etc! It means the pl is not totally detached from football league and bottom team are competitive to top teams, not the same teams win it every year, Germany even have better academies, which give all round education, if they fail to make it into football like 90% of youth players.<br />If we had bundasliga/nfl model finance it would be best in the world!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487486960623783530.post-17641733221180832382015-02-06T03:43:15.722+01:002015-02-06T03:43:15.722+01:00I just discovered this blog.

All the more impressive considering their TV income is so dwarfed by the Premier League clubs income. Selling off small stakes to key sponsors is a smart & long term move, as they have a vested interest in the club and vice versa. If they continue to make profits as they are they can always buy the shares back!Tottenham boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142947311013598524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487486960623783530.post-84626869940679476732015-02-03T13:49:13.329+01:002015-02-03T13:49:13.329+01:00With the dividends you are wrong, Bayern is paying...With the dividends you are wrong, Bayern is paying them continuously the last years. Also you should not forget the increasing value of the shares for the companies. Their contribution also allows them to send members to the board of directors and partly influence the further developemenmt of the club.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487486960623783530.post-14863084269300763572015-02-02T13:50:16.252+01:002015-02-02T13:50:16.252+01:00Hi.

Great work again.<br />The cash injection from their "shareholders" is for me fundamental (close to €300m altogether).<br />The free up of resources is going to be huge, and I doubt that even VW or Bayer can keep up with it. Apparently Dortmund is going to look for a similar deal with some of its sponsors, but they already sold most of the club in the 90s.<br />Although legal and in line with the 50+1 rule, I think it is clearly a financial "doping". The point is: why would any corporation buy a 10% stake in a company that does not search to maximise profit, does not distribute dividends, is not in the stock market thus illiquid, and you cannot aim to control as there is large shareholder?<br />Of course, Bayern's success is their success, as their brand is associated to them. And that is the return they get. So in my opinion, this is just a hidden sponsorship. Why they do it like this i don't know. Perhaps to make it more symbolic, or perhaps to save the tax. But this follows football's vicious/virtous circle: the more successful you are, the more money you get to be even more successful.<br />I wonder what RM or Barcelona would look like if they started selling bits of the club to large corporations. Their debt sits at 300-500m if i remember well. <br />Regards<br />kartó ferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04613554944495190828noreply@blogger.com
