We are pleased to support the first ‘Future of Football’ Conference at the Marriott Hotel, Grosvenor Square, London, UK, next Tuesday, 20 November. With increasing numbers of English Premier League clubs now being owned or significantly sponsored by Asian entrepreneurs and companies, the topics discussed by this conference's high-level speakers will be of interest to all of us in Asia ... where "the future is football!"
The one-day conference will split into two distinct sessions. In the morning, the focus will be on the ownership of football clubs. Keith Harris (Chairman of investment bank Seymour Pierce), Randy Lerner (owner of Aston Villa), David Dein (former Vice-Chairman of Arsenal) and Ferran Soriano (Vice-President, FC Barcelona) will be among those offering their opinion on why English clubs are the targets for ‘foreign’ investors, and what this means for all levels of the world game.
The afternoon session will concentrate more on events on the pitch with many of the game’s top managers including Sir Alex Ferguson, Sam Allardyce, Alan Curbishley and Lawrie Sanchez discussing the latest in coaching techniques and debating how best to maximise a player’s performance.
The conference will also witness the first major speech on football by Billy Beane. The Oakland Athletics General Manager was the star of the 2003 book ‘Moneyball’. A big football fan, Beane is famous for ripping up the traditional scouting manual in baseball in favour of a more analytical approach. He is coming to London to see if some of his SS sports techniques can transcend to the world of football.
