Hello readers, my name is Alvin Lurye. This is my
introduction post welcoming everyone to my new blog. The goal of this blog is
not only to discuss the "beautiful game", but to also discuss the
business behind it.
Some topics of discussion will be: creating a winning team from within a club is possible, major sponsorship affecting the world transfer market, and how match/seasonal results affecting team's financial situation among other topics. Most of the content posted will be my opinion with facts (of course), because the most important thing to me isn't that everyone agrees with me but understands my perspective, so in the future with any business situation the same logic can be used to comprehend that predicament. I will also do my best to make the blog very user friendly so at any time if you want to give me feedback on the content I will probably responded to the feedback rapidly. I will also have a poll question or 2 in each post to get a little more insight on what the readers think.

I believe that sports business like any other
industry has business principles, the only difference would be that your
company would be literally competing on the field with another company. Obviously
the best way to create a successful soccer club is to create a successful
business first. And this principle is used throughout all professional sports.
When I say to build a successful club I mean spending the money in your club’s
budget wisely, building a good youth academy, so instead of having to spend so
much money to acquire new players, the club produces its own players.
Financially, teams are successful through team sponsorship’s, TV revenue, team
sales (tickets and jerseys), but most importantly through results of a competition.
Every team makes the same amount of money through TV revenue no matter what but
the big difference maker for a club to receive $5 M and $20 M is the difference
of finishing last place and first place in a league.
Going away from the blog for a second let me introduce myself even further. I am a second year student at California State University Northridge (CSUN) majoring in Management. Following the completion of my undergraduate degree I intend on going further in my education and going to graduate school to attain a master’s degree in Sports Management. Sports have been my passion since I was very young. I grew playing multiple sports throughout my life, eventually sticking to soccer where I played as a goalkeeper throughout my adolescence and high school where I was awarded team MVP my junior year. I continued playing at CSUN for the club team my freshman year but due to unforeseen circumstances I am no longer affiliated with them.
I hope everyone enjoys my blog and I'll write to you all soon.
