Organizational Forms: Ownership and Governance

Chapter 3 in The People’s Game?, 2003, pp 74-127 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Football clubs are ostensibly uncomplicated organizations: they exist to facilitate participation in organized football. Beyond this plain statement, however, there is a rather more complex and contested debate about the objectives and purpose of football clubs. For example, what is meant by participation? Is taking part in football sufficient or does that participation require to be successful? If so, how do we define success? League championships? Domestic cup competitions? European competitions? Does a football club have a responsibility beyond its own members or supporters, perhaps to other clubs or to their local communities. At a broader level what do we mean by a‘club’?
