Finding New Ways Of Financing Debt In Spanish FootballAngel Barajas

3) New financing products are needed for Spanish clubs, such as indexed loans using player registrations as collateral and tying loan yields to appreciation in player transfer values.

Can we expect as cataclysmic a power-shift in our industry as the US retail business experienced in the last century? This presentation uses the historical analogy of the rise of the supermarket in the post-automobile world to inform us about a possible future of the games industry. How did the technological revolution of the motor car create an increase in convenience and a reduction of the quality of the shopping experience for the average American, and how did that shift change the retail landscape in the US? How can we apply this and similar technology-driven business revolutions to our own rapidly changing industry as we react to the technological revolution of the internet?

The worldwide broadcasting of sport events by global media conglomerates and the rapid acceptance and development of sport sponsorship have changed the traditional business model of football clubs, which historically has relied on match day revenues. Football clubs now must commercialize in order to remain financially competitive and sustainable in light of increased costs. Reaching these objectives may require investment in new technologies, personnel, manufacturing, new or renovated venues and marketing initiatives. A primary question for many football clubs is where to obtain the additional capital needed for these specific investments? There is a variety of options available to clubs interested in raising capital, including those potentially offered by the capital markets, such as: (1) Issuing corporate bonds; (2) Initiating an IPO (Initial Public Offering); (3) Integrating a football club’s fan base into a shareholder structure.

Borussia Dortmund – Financial Performance
After the initial public offering (IPO) in 1999 the former management board made heavy investments
to sign on famous international players to Borussia Dortmund and to extend the existing grounds to
become the largest football stadium in Germany. After initial success in national and international
competitions contributing to a significant increase in sales revenues, the club missed out on
international qualifications in 2003/04 and thus suffered a dramatic decrease in sales revenues and
earnings. Within two years the club was unable to finance operating expenses and interest
payments. At the climax of its financial crisis in 2004/05, Borussia Dortmund installed a new
management board in order to rescue and restructure one of the football clubs with a very rich
tradition in Germany.

Sponsoring: This main pillar of revenue generation contributed 31.5% to sales revenues. As the
sponsors have an essential impact on revenues, the club management looked for strategic sponsors
and partners in order to establish a long-term relationship that would lead to long-term financial
stability.

partnerships with SPARDA-BANK WEST and AWD were continued on a mid-term basis. The regional
champion partner WARSTEINER was exchanged for a long-term contract with Brinkhoffs No. 1. The
exclusive contract with supplier NIKE would expire at the end of season 2008/09.
Ticketing: In the season 2007/08 the sales revenues rose to a total of € 22.6m (+€ 4.3m vs. PY) thanks
to additional matches because the team qualified for the final round of the DFB-Cup
(+€ 3.9m) and because of several friendly matches. These additional sales revenues compensated for
the negative development from ticketing in the Bundesliga (-€ 0.2m vs. PY). In the season 2007/08
the club registered another decrease in spectators. Though Borussia Dortmund still reported the
highest number of spectators compared to an average attendance 41,802 in the German Bundesliga,
the capacity utilization in the biggest football arena in Germany decreased to an all-time-low of 88%.

Fans: For a long time, Borussia Dortmund had been perceived as “likeable second“ among the
football clubs in the national football league by supporters as well as interested parties. Borussia
Dortmund was one of the most famous football clubs with supporters all over Germany. In 2004,
right before the financial crisis, about 20 mill. people in Germany found the club likeable, with 63% of
fans from all over Germany.2
In terms of this national basis, Borussia Dortmund stood out from most
of the Bundesliga clubs, which only had local or regional fans (see Tab. 4 Fanbase).

In the season 2004/05 Borussia Dortmund lost sympathy among all groups of supporters and
suffered a loss of image due to the financial crisis. Supporters and fans dissociated themselves from
the club and their protagonists eventually. They accused the managers and players of being arrogant,
megalomanic and detached from the club values. It was the first time in history that a club polarized
that many football fans in Germany. As a result, Borussia Dortmund lost fascination value and
sympathy and last but not least about 30% of its national fans.
In addition, the club also suffered a decline in the strength of its emotional image among supporters
in the Ruhr-Region. Thomas Treß reflected on the expectations and interests of the stakeholders of
Borussia Dortmund: While followers in the Ruhr-Region could be targeted with honest and authentic
communication because of their emotional relationship based on brand heritage, attractive new
sponsors and investors would base their support on clear facts and figures regarding the perception
and reputaion of the brand Borussia Dortmund on a regional and national level.3

Furthermore, a number of different claims have been used in the club´s communication since 1999,
such as “Wir sind Schwarz-gelb” (“We are the black-and-yellow team”), a reference to the existing
club colors since 1919 or “Mein Verein. Meine Stadt” (“My club. My city.”) and “ Unser ganzes Leben.
Unser ganzer Stolz” (“Our live. Our pride”). Here, the claims vary depending on the communication
channel and target group but with a strong regional focus. Regional supporters celebrate the so-
called “Ruhr mentality” and the traditional positioning as a working man’s club, which is rooted in a
deep sense of community and striving for solidarity. Borussia Dortmund´s fans associate these values
with their club and appreciate particularly the close relations to the club and the players. They see
themselves in the truest sense as a 12th
player and part of the team and present this in a unique way.
The largest standing terrace in Europe, which the fans call affectionately the “Yellow Wall”, is the
epitome of fan culture and pure passion creating an atmosphere in the Signal Iduna Park (stadium),
which is perceived as an intensive football experience by all spectators and even TV-viewers.4
Transfer revenues: The team was almost completely rebuilt after the financial crisis in 2004/05 and
transfer revenues decreased significantly. Sports director Michael Zorc made the best of a difficult
situation and systematically promoted and developed local youngsters. The result was a young and
talented team with real passion, ambition and identification with the club because of the local roots.
It's a team that is built on its internal strength and mutual understanding, concentrating on shared
experience and qualities. From a players’ perspective, Jürgen Klopp (head coach) is a real and
authentic motivator of the team. They describe him as “real and emotional, straight, sincere and also
extremely hungry for success”.
Preparing the Strategy Talks
Thomas Treß looked at the agenda of the strategy talks with the board of directors. He would have to
prepare and deliver presentations for the agenda items “Financial Performance of Borussia
Dortmund” and “Brand Positioning (national / international)”. A reasonable beginning seemed to be
a detailed situation analysis of Borussia Dortmund with regard to the drivers of financial and league
performance. A discussion with his board of directors would probably circle around potential levers
for uncoupling financial and league performance.
He wondered which key success factors and levers would be most relevant to boost revenue sales
independent of Borussia Dortmund’s positioning in the league table. How could he make use of the
traditional fan basis in order to increase brand awareness and attraction beyond the Ruhr-Region?
What brand positioning of Borussia Dortmund would be acceptable for the regional fan basis and
attractive for national fans and sponsors? How could he ensure that no stakeholder would be left
behind?
