Hey yall, I'm writing a paper on accounting in soccer. I seriously have no direction for this paper and it can be on absolutely anything accounting/business related.

I was thinking about writing on the business of selling and buying players and the use of players as assets but I can't find any sources online to follow through with it. I need 2 or more.

Do you guys know of articles, websites, podcasts, videos, etc where the business side of the sport is discussed?

I really appreciate it.

You should recopilate information on the Argentine and Brazilian model of player ownership, and the use of Portuguese teams to develop them (and their market value).

You may want to study the two Argentine players (Tévez and someone else) who were sent by the conglomerate that owned them, to some shitty EPL side, in order to showcase them (and sell them on).

MLS franchise model and free agency. Current, relevant, and interesting. Grant Wahl's book on Beckham is a start.

Just study what Chelsea has done to get teams to pay the fees they did for unwanted players.


Also, look at Southampton.
