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.

Issues and trends within the industry

Economic impact study
We have a track record of delivering high quality, independent economic impact studies in respect of sports, sports clubs and sporting events. Our robust methodology ensures that all reasonable elements of incremental economic impact are quantified – core impacts, other direct impacts, and indirect impacts – and the work can also address qualitative assessment of costs, benefits and other factors.
Sports business market information
We offer a range of sports business market information solutions and we have a track record of delivering high quality projects to a range of stakeholders in sport – such as event organisers, host cities/regions for sporting events, sports clubs, sports competition organisers, local government and investors.
Venue operational improvement
Venues form a central element of many sports organisations’ strategies. As one of the biggest assets over which you have direct control, the benefits of focusing on it as a profit generator rather than purely as a cost centre can be substantial. Our approach to operational improvement ensures you have the tools to maximise the potential from your venue, in whatever situation and configuration, to produce the greatest benefit for you.
