About this book

"The second edition of this popular book presents a detailed economic analysis of professional football at club level, with new material included to reflect the development of the economics of professional football over the past ten years. Using a combination of economic reasoning and statistical and econometric analysis, the authors build upon the successes and strengths of the first edition to guide readers through the economic complexities and peculiarities of English club football. It uses a wide range of international comparisons to help emphasize both the broader relevance as well as the unique characteristics of the English experience. Topics covered include some of the most hotly debated issues currently surrounding professional football, including player salaries, the effects of management on team performance, betting on football, racial discrimination and the performance of football referees. This edition also features new chapters on the economics of international football, including the World Cup"--

Cover of Expulsion!

Expulsion!

Patrick Bruno

Sélim Berga, un jeune Malien, s'est fort bien intégré au sein de l'équipe de Miraval, qui est en bonne marche pour se rendre à la finale du Championnat de France. Le nouveau joueur multiplie non seulement les exploits sur le terrain, mais fait également preuve d'un pacifisme et d'un comportement exemplaires. Aussi, lorsqu'il perd subitement ses moyens et assomme un adversaire sur le terrain, ses coéquipiers se posent de sérieuses questions. Lorsqu'ils découvrent que l'agressivité de Sélim est intrinsèquement liée aux risques d'expulsion qui planent sur sa famille, tous les joueurs décident de se mobiliser afin d'alerter les élus de la région et de faire en sorte que tout rentre dans l'ordre. Sur fond de valeurs humaines et de considérations sociales, une lecture de détente pour amateurs de foot, émaillée de descriptions de matchs et de techniques de jeu détaillées. [SDM].
