Research and insight

  • Annual Review of Football Finance 2011 - Pressure to change
    The European football market grew to €16.3 billion in 2009/10, with revenue growth across all the "big five" leagues, as football proved remarkably recession resistant. The English Premier League remained the highest revenue generating league (€2.5 billion). However, a greater focus is required on cost control. To find out more read the Highlights and Foreword of the 20th edition of the report, "The Score" (a timeline of significant events in football over the past 20 years) and order a copy.

Issues and trends within the industry

  • Performance Related Pay
    Wages are the single largest cost for many sporting organisations. Our sports business specialists provide advice and assistance to management in respect of the implementation of robust performance related pay frameworks, that appropriately rewards success and also protects the finances if results fall short of expectations.
  • Ticket Revenue Maximiser
    An understanding of your customers is a crucial input into initiatives to maximise ticket revenues. We have developed a sophisticated approach – combining market research and satisfaction/price modelling – which uses a web-based customer survey of supporters as its main source of information, and which has been proven with a number of clients.
  • Venue Operational Improvement
    Venues are one of our clients’ key assets. Focusing on it as a profit generator rather than purely as a cost centre can often deliver substantial returns. Our approach to operational improvement ensures you have the tools to maximise your venue’s potential, and produce the greatest benefit.
