European football market grows by €1 billion as football proves recession resilient

The European football market grew by €1 billion to €14.6 billion in 2007/08. This was primarily due to a €0.7 billion increase in the ‘big five’ European leagues’ revenues to €7.7 billion and the staging of UEFA Euro 2008.



New improved broadcasting deals strengthened the English Premier League’s position as the highest revenue generating league in world football. Its clubs generated revenues of €2.4 billion in 2007/08 (up 26% in Sterling terms), extending the gap to its nearest rivals to more than €1 billion, despite Sterling’s 15% depreciation against the Euro.



Dan Jones, Partner in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte, commented: “The continuing revenue growth of Real Madrid and Barcelona, the world’s highest and third highest revenue generating football clubs respectively, helped La Liga to draw level with the Bundesliga in the close battle for second place (both €1,438m), with Serie A only marginally behind (€1,421m). We expect Barcelona’s victory in the UEFA Champions League to have contributed to La Liga taking second place on its own in 2008/09.”



In a sign of football’s resilience to the economic downturn, Deloitte expects Europe’s top clubs will continue to grow revenues in 2008/09 and 2009/10, albeit at a slower pace.



“The acid test of the ‘big five’ leagues’ ability to withstand the challenging economic times will come in 2009/10 when season ticket and sponsorship renewals in particular will underpin revenue performance. However, it is encouraging that total 2008/09 attendances across the leagues increased by 2%. The Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and the Premier League and the major clubs in La Liga also have secure long term broadcasting deals in place which deliver significant proportions of total revenue. The greatest challenge may come in maintaining commercial revenues and higher priced corporate hospitality ticketing, while also addressing wage and cost inflation.”



The majority of the increased revenue in 2007/08 has been spent on player wages and transfers. Wage costs for the ‘big five’ leagues increased by €588m (14%) to €4.8 billion, with all the ‘big five’ experiencing significant growth.



Alan Switzer, Director in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte commented: “Lower rates of revenue growth in forthcoming seasons mean clubs will have to focus on improving cost control – both wages and other operating costs – and ensure their cost base is sufficiently flexible to deal with any revenue reductions.”



Other key findings of the Deloitte Annual Review of Football Finance 2009 include:

Serie A achieved the largest absolute and relative revenue growth of the ‘big 5’ in 2007/08, with revenue increasing by €357m (34%) to €1,421m - assisted by the return of Juventus to the top league. Serie A wages increased by €250m (35%) to €972m.
Ligue 1 had the lowest revenue growth of the ‘big five’ leagues of €17m (2%) to €989m. Wages grew rapidly, by €84m, taking the wages/revenue ratio of Ligue 1 to 71%. The highest of any of the ‘big five’ leagues.
Bundesliga revenues increased by €59m (4%) to €1,438m in 2007/08. Commercial and matchday revenue growth was responsible for this overall increase growing by €35m (6%) and €28m (9%) respectively. Matchday revenues in the Bundesliga benefit from its continued status as the best attended of the ‘big five’ leagues with average league matchday attendances of 42,600 in 2008/09 – the highest since the Bundesliga was formed in 1963.
Bundesliga has the lowest wages/revenue ratio (50%) of any of the ‘big five’ despite wage costs increasing by €105m (17%) to €725m in 2007/08.
La Liga enjoyed revenue growth of €112m (8%) placing it in joint second place with the Bundesliga. Real Madrid and Barcelona contributed 47% of the total league revenue emphasising the financial polarisation in La Liga. Wages went up 8% to €900m.
The Scottish Premier League clubs experienced revenue growth of 14%, in Sterling terms, to €252m, partially as a result of Celtic and Rangers competing in the Champions League group stage in 2007/08 and Rangers reaching the UEFA Cup Final.
The Premier League returned record operating profits of €234m in 2007/08, and reclaimed its position as the most profitable league, from the Bundesliga (€136m) which it lost temporarily in 2006/07.
France’s Ligue 1 joined Serie A in recording operating losses.

MOST EXPENSIVE YACHTS


Octopus – $200 million
Owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, Octopus is the world’s eighth largest yacht. The 414-foot yacht was first launched in 2003. The yacht has two helicopters, a submarine with room for ten men and seven boats. For those who’d like to see the ocean floor, the yacht even includes a remote controlled vehicle to do so.




Rising Sun – $200 million
Co-owned by Oracle’s Larry Ellison and media mogul David Geffen, Rising Sun is 453-feet and five stories of oceangoing luxury. It was built with one goal in mind—to exceed the size of Paul Allen’s Octopus, above. This pricey yacht has 8,000 feet of living space with onyx countertops and Jacuzzi bathrooms, a spa and sauna, a gym and even a private movie theatre with an enormous plasma screen.


Lady Moura – $210 million
This 344-foot mega-yacht is owned by billionaire Nasser Al-Rashid. It features a pool with retractable roof, a 75-foot dining table crafted by Viscount Linley and a helicopter. Lady Moura’s most remarkable feature, however, is the beach resort that slides out of one side of the boat. The mini resort features not only sand and deck chairs, but even includes palm trees for a truly authentic resort experience.


Dubai – $350 million

This costly yacht has gone by three names since its conception—Platinum 525, Golden Star and, most recently, Dubai. The Platinum 525 was commissioned by Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei in 1996, but a lack of funds caused the project to be abandoned a scant couple of years later. In 2001, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, then Crown Prince and now ruler of Dubai, took over the project and renamed it the Golden Star. Dubai is as expansive as it is expensive. The 525-foot yacht features an owner’s suite, five VIP suites and a number of guest bedrooms. The bridge features the captain’s quarters, an office and a lounge. The foyer and atrium connects each deck while lighting them from above via skylight. The luxury yacht is powered by four diesel engines with over 9,000 horsepower altogether.

Eclipse – $1.2 billion
Russian billionaire and Chelsea football club owner Roman Abramovich’s super-yacht will be a 560-foot monster requiring a minimum of 70 crewmembers and featuring eleven guests. Abramovich and his guests will be protected by a security system that uses laser bursts to foil digital paparazzi photography when activated, anti-bugging and anti-intruder systems and a missile detection system. They’ll also enjoy a swimming pool that can be drained and used as a dance floor, an additional swimming pool and an aquarium. The yacht holds two helicopters, three boats and a submarine.

WE CHOOSE AS A BIGGEST DERBY IN BRAZIL ;Botafogo vs Fluminense

The rivalry between the fans of these two clubs is one of the most "rancorous" in Brazil, since they share a long history of polemical decisions in finals and juridical fights outside the fields between the clubs. One of the most famous disputes surround the "Campeonato Carioca" decision of 1907, only solved after 89 years, when the court decided to share the title.

These two teams from Buenos Aires, Argentina are the protagonists of what is known as, Superclásico (Superderby Spanish, clásico –meaning classic– is the word used instead of derby in Argentina). Boca Juniors is traditionally regarded as the club of Argentina's working class, in contrast with the supposedly more upper-class support base of cross-town Atlético River Plate.The rivalry between Boca Juniors and River Plate is most intense, and the team's fans usually take to distribute posters to tease the other after a defeat between them or even a loss in any major competition, or to show off after winning the local league or an international championship.

Barca’s perfect record in the Spanish League ended after being held to a goalless draw at Valencia.

FC Barcelona’s perfect record from six La Liga clashes comes under threat tonight when the Catalan gians take on Valencia CF in arguably their toughest test so far.

It looks like Thierry Henry will be out of action, but they still have Lionel Messi and the rest of the squad to rely on. And with a 100 percent record, we’re sure Pep Guardiola’s side will want to make it 7 wins in a row.

lovely trip to the pretty past of the football




OUR FIRST GUEST, MARADONA

Diego Maradona


Maradona - (full name Diego Armando Maradona) was born on October 30, 1960 in Villa Fiorito, Buenos Aires.

Diego Armando Maradona is arguably the greatest footballer that has ever put on a pair of boots. He was originally born in the slums of Villa Fiorito near Buenos Aires as the fifth of eight children.
Maradona entered professional football at the astonishing age of 15. By the time he turned 16, Diego was even called in the senior national team of Argentina.

Regardless of his talent, Diego was considered too young by coach Cesar Menotti, who rejected him from his selection for the 1978 World Cup. Bitterly disappointed, Maradona watched the tournament from home as his country finished first. In the following four years, Diego dominated his country's league and easily entered the Argentine squad for Spain 1982.
Argentina passed the first stage of the tournament after losing to Belgium, but beating Hungary and Salvador. Maradona managed to leave his mark with two beautiful, but not critical goals.
In the first match of the second stage, Maradona is manhandled by his Italian marker, Claudio Gentile. By the following game, Diego's frustration gets him sent off. With two losses, Argentina fail to advance and Diego is again suppressed from unleashing his full potential.

Although unsuccessful, the brilliance of the Argentine footballer did not go unnoticed and after the World Cup, he is picked up by the European powerhouse Barcelona. By 1984, Maradona had established himself in Barca and was picked up by the Italian club Napoli.
At the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, Maradona made his return on the World stage in a spectacular manner. After leading his team to a quarter final against England, Diego steals the attention of millions with both his controversial character and technical brilliance.
The fuss around the Argentina-England encounter was further elevated by the Falkland Islands conflict, which at that time had turned both countries against each other. Diego opened the game 1-0 by striking the ball with his hand. Unnoticed by the referees, it was ruled a goal. Five minutes later, Maradona single handedly took the ball through the entire English defense with a slalom from midfield right down to the goal.

After the match, when confronted with the video footage of the illegal goal, Maradona simply replied "Even if there was a hand, it must have been the hand of God." Maradona silenced his critics by deciding the following semi and final matches. By scoring two goals in the first and with an assist in the second, Maradona practically earned the World Cup for his nation.
Maradona's influence on his teammates was carried over to his club side Napoli, as they reached unprecedented heights, winning their first and second Scudetto (1997 and 1990) and the UEFA Cup in 1988/99.
At Italy 1990, all eyes were on Argentina and its brightest star Diego Maradona Diego came close to replicating his previous success. With Maradona's ability, Argentina defeated Brazil, Yugoslavia and Italy on its way to the final.

Most memorable is the semi-final match between Argentina and Italy played at Diego's club home Naples. To the torment of Maradona, the fans at his own club stadium booed him during the match.
Nevertheless, he eliminated Italy by scoring in the penalty shootout. The final of the 1990 World Cup, left Diego helpless as Argentina were defeated 0-1 from West Germany with a goal from a questionable penalty.
Since the loss against West Germany, Maradona's career plummeted. In March of 1991, he tested positive for doping and was banned from football for 15 months. Maradona refused to return back to Napoli after the incident and transferred to Sevilla for a year. He eventually went back to Argentina with Newell's Old Boys.

The 1994 World Cup verified that Diego's career in national football is over. He was suspended from the cup after failing another doping test. His team was hurt by this and eventually got eliminated by Romania in the second stage.
Shortly after this failure, Diego took on a new career path as a coach. He failed miserably again, unable to remain at a single club for more than four months. By 1995, Maradona was forced to return to the game as a player.

He went back to his former club Boca Juniors, and remained there until his last match on 25th of October 1997. Five days later, during his 37th birthday, Maradona announced his retirement from football.
Up until 2001, Diego remained away from the playing pitch, periodically entering rehab for cocaine abuse. Diego played in his farewell match on the 10th of November 2001 against a team comprised by some of the greatest footballers in the game including Ferrara, Suker, Stoichkov, Cantona, Higuita, and Romario.

One year earlier, Maradona was voted Best Football Player of the Century by a global Internet poll. Controversy was stirred yet again, by his nearly unanimous victory, as FIFA (who find Maradona's image as the King of Football unacceptable) decided to give the same award to Pelé as the Best Footballer for the first half of the century.

AND NOW
Maradona named as Argentina coach
