Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Research Handbook on the Law of Professional Football Clubs
This original Research Handbook examines the key legal aspects of a professional football club’s actions. Reflecting also on the role of key governing bodies such as UEFA, the Handbook informs and contributes to the ongoing debate surrounding the governance and behaviours of professional football clubs. By placing professional clubs at the centre of the analysis, the Handbook offers an extensive overview of how law, particularly at a European level, is applied to professional football. Chapters explore key actors within the industry, from prominent governing bodies to players, examining how significant club changes such as transfers affect the economic and legal management of clubs. At a time when professional football is coming under increasing scrutiny, this Handbook will encourage critical thinking on the future of clubs’ design, organisation and function. This illuminating Research Handbook will be of interest to law and business students endeavouring to investigate sports law and governance. It will additionally be beneficial to policymakers, along with legal and business actors, who are working with professional football clubs and seeking to reflect critically on industry features and legalities.

Intersentia Ltd A New Deal for Professional Football in the Eu: Club Brugge Chair
This note sets out the key features of a new deal for professional football in the EU. Professional football in the EU is nowadays characterized by unlevelled regulatory and supervisory playing fields. These unlevelled playing fields hinder the establishment and functioning of the internal market and create a legal uncertain environment for professional football clubs and football agents, active in the most practised, mediatised and commercialized sport in the world. In support of clubs and football agents applying on their own initiative high standards of good governance, this note calls for EU legislative intervention to level the regulatory and supervisory playing fields to create a true internal market for football agents and professional football clubs with acceptable minimum levels of good governance for all.
