How do football clubs make their money? How do clubs become global brands, and their stars recognised throughout the world? Show Me The Money is a fascinating sports marketing handbook that uses football to show how money can be made by a club, a tournament, a federation or individual athlete.

Author Esteve Calzada worked as Chief Marketing and Commercial Officer of football giants FC Barcelona for over five years. During that time he made a major contribution towards the commercial transformation that saw the club increase its revenue to over 400 million euros per year. He now works as a consultant at Manchester City FC.

This is a guide to sports marketing, but not a dull and dry textbook – aimed at sports marketeers and sports marketing students, but fascinating to anyone interested in sport and how football clubs make their money.
