13 Preface and Acknowledgements This book is an academic study into the new business of football. It is aimed at those who have a background, a knowledge and an interest in Association Football, as well as in business, particularly in the areas of accountancy and finance. It draws on contemporary literature on professional football in the disciplines of accounting, finance and economics and, to a lesser extent, sociology. It will be relevant to anyone who seeks a more rigorous discussion of the issues arising from the business than that which newspapers and other popular media have space for. It is also hoped that the book will interest those who have the responsibility of running today's football clubs, dealing with conflicts which arise out of the incorporation of football and wrestling with the new financial regime in the game. Thanks are due to all those who have assisted me in writing this book and in my earlier research into accounting issues in football, in particular to those representatives of clubs, banks and fund managers who have willingly met with me on various occasions. My thanks to those clubs in England and Scotland which provided me with copies of their annual reports and provided information requested; to Gerry Boon of Deloitte & Touche for kindly providing me with a copy of the Deloitte & Touche Annual Reviews of Football Finance since its inception; to the Professional Footballers' Association, the Scottish Professional Footballers' Association, the Football Association Premier League, the Scottish Football Association, the Scottish League and UEFA for responding to my requests for information requested and also to those European clubs (Juventus, Ajax, PSV Eindhoven, Strasbourg, Borussia Dortmund, Karlsruher, TSV Munchen, FC Shalke 04, VBV De Graafschap, VfB Stuttgart, Werder Bremen) and to Edwin Gerretson of the KNVB (Dutch FA) for responding to my letters and for sending me information about their respective clubs or associations. Unfortunately the poor response from other European clubs and administrators made it impossible to widen the scope of the book to comment meaningfully on issues relating to the business of football in other European countries. The book draws on published literature in a number of areas and I Xlll
14 xiv Preface and Acknowledgements am indebted to all those authors referred to in the text. On the subject of literature, thanks are also due to David Rennie for some valuable literature searching carried out in the course of writing his own undergraduate dissertation. A very special debt is owed to my colleague, Frank McMahon, for taking the time and trouble to read over my earlier drafts, and for providing me with many insightful comments and suggestions. The judgements, mistakes and gaps that remain are, of course, entirely my own. Finally, much thanks is owed to my wife Jill for her love and support throughout the research and the writing of this book.
