ABSTRACT
The purpose of this research is to analyse the relationship between a player’s value, field performance, financial performance and stock performance of European football clubs. The samples used in this research consist of 17 European football clubs listed in the stock exchange. The method used to analyse the data is the Generalized Structural Component Analysis (GSCA). The results show that, firstly, a player’s value has a positive impact on a club’s financial performance, but its impact on field performance is insignificant. Secondly, field performance and financial performance have a significant impact on each other. Finally, both field performance and financial performance do not have a significant impact on a football club’s stock performance.
