Mehmet Sezgin- 27 Mayıs 2014 A lot to improve performance. Yet not much to fill books, as at the end, it boils down the two things: 1. Unite everybody around the same and simple objective, 2. Find the best talent for the required position. 1. Unite everybody around the and simple objective: What is the objective of each team? Winning and becoming champion of a Cup. So much that the word “goal” is embedded with football. The ultimate objective is to score more goals than you

By James M. Dorsey- 10 October 2013 Financially stressed Turkish soccer clubs are becoming pawns in the political struggle between Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and militant soccer fans who rank prominently among his detractors as soccer pitches and university campuses emerge as major battlefields between the government and its detractors. Critics of Mr. Erdogan charge that the prime minister is seeking to enlist clubs in much the same carrot-and-stick way that he tame

When I say that I was in London this week for the biggest game in world football you may be forgiven for assuming that I am talking about the Champions League final. In terms of financial reward the match I am here to watch carries a far greater prize than that match or any other. And just to add to the drama, the loser gets absolutely nothing. The match I am talking about is the Championship Playoff final between Crystal Palace and Watford. The winning team gets promotion to

By finishing top of the group, the team has already exceeded my expectations and the expectations of most England supporters. The England national team has not performed well in recent years with a few notable exceptions (the 4-1 win against Croatia in Zagreb in qualifying match for the 2010 World Cup springs to mind) so getting to a quarter-final is not a reason to celebrate but it is cause of satisfaction and cautious optimism. The squad of players is becoming a team and th

On Saturday 8 th January after a string of bad results Roy Hodgson became the first in what many predict will be a spate of managerial sacking in the English Premier league. There are a number of other big names with their necks on the chopping block right now as player power, fan power and all powerful mega rich owners make the life of a premier league manager more precarious than ever. Ancelotti at Chelsea, Avram Grant at West Ham, Roberto Mancini at Manchester City, and G

This has been a year of financial turmoil in English football, with Portsmouth going into administration and Liverpool no more than a day away from a similar fate. However, what we have witnessed so far will pale into insignificance if the worst case scenario comes to pass. The financial situation at Manchester United is desperate and failure on the field could soon lead to failure off it. Leeds gave us a glimpse of the future when a huge overspend was not reflected in r

UEFA president Michel Platini and general secretary Gianni Infantino have used a media briefing in Monacoto launch its financial fair play initiative, which features 11 values aimed at securing the future of Europeanfootball.

"One of the project's key requirements is to force clubs to finance their businessactivities with the resources they generate thems

The Npower Championship doesn’t get much attention outside of England and Wales but there are many remarkable things about the second tier of English football that make it for many football supporters more attractive than the Premier League itself. As we shall see in many ways it is what the ideal league competition should be and therefore an example for all to take note of. Let’s kick-off by having a look at how the league works. The Championship consists of 24 teams so it

Lots of my Turkish friends have been asking me why England were such a disappointing failure at the World Cup. The more I thought about the question the more complex the answer became. I also realized that when finding reasons or making excuses for England I had to take a look at the other big World Cup flops such as France and Italy and the dark horses such as Uruguay and Ghana. Of course success and failure are relative terms which come about because of expectations and sur

When Chelsea published their accounts for 2008-09 earlier this year, the club announced that its owner, the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich , had written off his mammoth £726m loan to the club, and converted it into shares. But is not quite as clear-cut as that. Abramovich channelled his loans to the club, since taking it over in 2003 and wanting to spend its way to trophies, via a holding company, Chelsea Limited. He loaned money to Chelsea Limited, who then loaned it on

A large number of Brazilians view Turkish clubs as their second favorites because of the Brazilian players in those teams. Brazilian journalists order jerseys from Turkey; people in the Middle East, Balkans and Turkic republics talk a lot about Turkish teams -- however we fail to market our soccer. While the highlights of even the Portuguese league are aired by Eurosport, in spite of the fact that Portugal trails Turkey in the rankings, there is nothing whatsoever about Turki
