Change in project title

I have decided to change the title of my project from its working title, How Has Money Changed English Football in the Last 20 Years? to How How The Premier League Changed English Football?  The reason for this change is that it enables me to focus my project, in detail, on the key aspect I was having to research when looking at how money has changed English football. The Premier League. The change doesn't change the focus of my project but enables me to not have to have such a broad topic, just look at the only real change with regard to money in football over the last 20 years.

Interview with David Miles



Above is a recording of my interview with David Miles - be warned it lasts an hour!
In the meeting I got the clubs point of view on various areas including:

  • Arsenals globalisation and diversification as a business
  • The thought processes around the move to the Emirates
  • How the Premier League and influx of money has benefitted the club
  • The clubs current financial position
  • Changes undertaken in the last 20 years


I was also allowed to look at 50 years of financial reports giving me access to key data for my project.
