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 bestselling
Soccernomics, tackles every soccer fan's burning questions in Money
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.
