Here Are The Secret Behind All Top Football Team Owners Around The World
Top Football Team Owners Around The World
The Real Madrid is a sporting club that belong to its
"socios/members", like other two clubs in Spain - Barcelona and
Atletico de Bilbao. I'm "socio" of the Real Madrid.
Every 4 years the members of the club vote to choose a new president
between the others members.
The team have around 80.000 socios. The "socios" pay every
year a money (similar to a season ticket) to see the team and to use the
sporting installations. Many years ago that was the principal support for the
team, but now the principal support are the TV rights and the merchandising.
The Real is the team that win more money with the Pay per view in Spain.
Also the team have its own TV channel that is the soccer club TV channel with
more subscribers in the world.
The Real is the most famous club in the world or at least the one
with best history (i've been subjetive but i think that is true). The team was
named for FIFA the best soccer club of the history and Brazil the best national
team of the history. This is mean a lot support around the world and a great
money in merchardaising. The RM make a recent study with the result that the
team have around 70 million of loyal supporters around the world. That is a
very big money and the Real is taking advantage of that like the manchester did
before
Currently the president of Real Madrid is F. Perez.
F.C. Barcelona and Real Madrid C.F. are not owned by any single
person or family like we see in the English Premier League. These clubs are
owned by the people.
We can take an example of democracy. Like in a democratic country,
the Prime Minister or President is elected by the people of the country.
Similarly, in clubs F.C. Barcelona and Real Madrid C.F. there is also a
president who is elected by the fans (club members) of these clubs. That's why
they are called as Fan's clubs. Also, the President can himself step down from
the job at any time.
FACT
It's the job of the president to sign new players and to renew the contract
of existing players.
At this moment,
President of Real Madrid C.F. - Florentino Perez
President of F.C. Barcelona - Josep Maria Bartomeu
The Ownership of Manchester City Football Club traces back to 1894,
when Ardwick A.F.C. dissolved and were reformed as Manchester City Football
Club Ltd. Over recent years, the ownership and finances of Manchester City
Football Club have been tumultuous with various owners of contrasting fortunes
much in line with their inconsistent trend on the pitch and the club's
hierarchy maintain the club is in a period of "significant
transformation".[1]
Since 4 August 2008, the club has been owned by Sheikh Mansour, one
of football's wealthiest owners, with an estimated individual net worth of at
least £17 billion and a family fortune of at least $1 trillion.[2] Sheikh
Mansour bought the club in 2008 for £210 million in a much publicized deal and
has since accumulated annual losses of £535 million, excluding approximately
£200 million on facility upgrades.[3] However the value of the club has soared
tenfold from £210 million in 2008 to over £2 billion in 2018 according to
Forbes representing a realistic opportunity of profit on Mansour's investment
if he was to sell the club to a willing buyer at the market rate.[4] Although
the club is still majority owned by Mansour, in 2015, a 13.79% stake purchase
of the club's parent company, City Football Group (CFG), by the CITIC Group for
£265 million valued it at $3 billion.[5]
The club's most recent financial report in November 2015 showed a £10
million profit following the elimination of amortised transfer fees and a
reduced salary bill which was incurred during the early years of Mansour's
investment - both of which allowed a £100 million net spending on transfers in
summer 2015.[6] In the 2014-15 season, the club are the second richest football
club in England by revenue and overall are the sixth worldwide with a revenue of
€463.5m according to Deloitte, and have been consistently in the Europe's Top
20 since 2004
Technically speaking FC Bayern München AG, Adidas and Audi and
Allianz own the club but actually the members who run the club. The major
decisions like Presidential elections are taken through elections where all the
members cast their vote. Anyone can become a member by paying a nominal
membership fee. It is a self-financed club receiving no special favours from
the government, oligarchs or patriarchs. In short it’s the most democratic club
in the world where the common man has a say.
