The football survey 2008

One of the strongest themes of our seventh annual survey of football club finance directors is evidence of increasing financial pressure on the English Premier League (EPL) clubs. While all clubs are starting to feel the bite of the credit crunch on their sales of tickets, merchandising and corporate hospitality, the EPL FDs are reporting a more widespread set of financial challenges and pressures than in previous years.

PKF’s Football Industry Group commissioned an independent research company in June and July 2008 to undertake structured telephone interviews with finance directors of football clubs. A total of 37 interviews were completed with finance directors in the English Premier League, Football League Championship, Football Leagues One and Two, Scottish Premier League and Scottish First Division. All responses were recorded anonymously to ensure the confidentiality of the respondent.
