Countryfox Posted 22 September 2015 Posted 22 September 2015 Football team owners are people with loadsa cash, a bit of time on their hands and BIG egos who want the world to see how big clever and successful they are ...... That aren't too bothered about making money but love to be seen (in a league table ) to be doing better than others .... If football wasn't always filling the papers and always on the TV they would probably all fvck off and do something else. That applies to all of them ... Except our owners of course .... Top blokes !!
Fox Ulike Posted 22 September 2015 Posted 22 September 2015 I am currently in my second year of A-levels, and as part of this second year we have the opportunity to do an 'extended project' to get ourselves some extra UCAS points. For my project, I am looking at the different types of football ownership, for example, clubs owned by the fans (like Portsmouth), foreign ownership (us/Man city etc...), local ownership (for me that's Plymouth, Exeter etc...) and British ownership (Newcastle etc...). Part of the project is getting opinions from others to use as part of my 5000 word essay, so I was hoping my fellow foxes could give me a hand! 1. What is your opinion of our owners? 2. What is your opinion on foreign ownership at British clubs in general? 3. What is your opinion on fan-owned clubs? 4. What is your opinion on British ownership in Britain-do they understand our culture better than foreign owners? 5. Which type of ownership do you think is the best, and most sustainable, and why? This will really help me in my quest for UCAS points, so the more of you that can give your opinions, the better! Thanks, in advance, and if you have any constructive criticism regarding my questions, or the project in general, let me know as that will also help! I think you could look at this a little differently. There is no difference between ‘foreign’ ownership and ‘British’ ownership, and your tutors will likely score you low if you attempt to argue that there is one. The distinction that would be useful to focus on is where clubs are run for business purposes; and where football clubs are run for Community purposes. Most clubs would consider themselves to be operating at both levels at the same time: To serve the community and turn a profit for their owners. The third category would be the ‘Oligarch’ ownership. Eg, Chelsea. Where football clubs are run mainly as playthings of the super-rich. If I were you, they would be the 3 categories I’d explore; and see if you can find any common patterns between clubs with similar business models. Good luck though!
