FT.com / Arts & Weekend / Sport - Revenue surges for English football clubs Deloitte's annual review of football finance shows that, with revenues of almost €2bn (£1.35bn) in 2003-04, the English Premiership widened the gap between itself and Italy's Serie A, the second highest-earning European league, to €823m. Liverpool's recent European Cup triumph means English football clubs can lay claim to the title of both on- and off-field champions of Europe, according to a new report. Whereas English and Italian top-division salaries ran almost together until 2001-02, a substantial gap has opened up in the past two seasons, with Serie A wages dropping to €845m in 2003-04, compared with €1.21bn in the Premiership. news.ft.com /cms/s/33bc11b2-d80c-11d9-8fa7-00000e2511c8.html   (577 words)

BBC SPORT Football Premiership's European shortfall English clubs have the biggest wage bill at £767m, even if it is only marginally ahead of Italy's £711m, while Spain was a close third in 1999. The English champions may have beaten eventual finalists Juventus home and away in the last Champions League, but that is no good if you do not make the final yourself. But a major part of the answer perhaps lies in one final statistic - English clubs are vastly outstripped by their Italian rivals in transfer spending, on both domestic and overseas players. news.bbc.co.uk /sport1/hi/football/3110167.stm   (572 words)

ESPN.com - American football, Samoan style Football was barely a blip anywhere on the planet when the United States annexed most of what would become American Samoa in 1900. Yet an increasing number of college football programs are recruiting the island, plucking players from its six high school teams and placing them directly onto their squads or at junior colleges. But if you want to find this cradle of football, you'll need a globe and a good eye, because Tutuila, the population center of America Samoa, is a 54-square-mile volcanic island in the South Pacific, more than 4,500 miles from the U.S. mainland and 2,300 miles south-southwest of Hawaii. sports.espn.go.com /espn/print?id=1387562&type=story   (1975 words)

Football League The new set-up was not called the English League as initially it hoped it too would include Scottish clubs, but these later (1890) formed their own league instead. Then, just as they were considering some type of league reform, in 2002 their lucrative tv deal with ITV Digital collapsed, threatening the futures of many clubs. In 2004 the Football League decided to call its top division 'the Football League Championship' (which presumably they thought sounded better than the 'Premiership wannabes league'), thus 'elevating' the old Division 2 and 3 to 'new' Leagues 1 and 2. www.btinternet.com /~brentours/SP31.htm   (1857 words)

TIME Europe Magazine: Football -- Aug. 19, 2002 When Nicky Summerbee and Billy McKinlay appeared in the colors of the English Football League's Leicester City for its first game of the 2002-03 season against Watford last weekend, the two did more than merely suit up for a match. And although the Football League has signed a new four-year deal with BSkyB, its $145 million price tag falls far short of the original — as a result, some clubs have released players in order to cut wage bills. Summerbee and McKinlay — both footballers by trade but both currently without permanent contracts — played for free. www.time.com /time/europe/magazine/article/0,13005,901020819-336183,00.html   (601 words)

TIME Europe The Real English Patient 6/26/2000 It's a specifically English social problem, and attempts to diffuse it by pointing to the odd outbreak of deviance by other nations are dangerously self-deluding. What is most perplexing and frustrating about the bad English fans, however, is their aggressive nationalism, which somehow manages to be both forlorn and arrogant. Then there's the decline in manufacturing and heavy industry, which seems to have left large numbers of English men feeling they are somehow emasculated—although how similar social changes have failed to send young men in Scotland, Wales and Ireland on the rampage remains a mystery. www.time.com /time/europe/magazine/2000/0703/margolis.html   (1027 words)
