The given case study is mainly concerned with the management decisions that are considered by the chairman of Atonement Hotshot Football Club, Mr… Daniel Levy, in order to generate a steeper rise in revenues for the club. The major investments in question are the construction of a new stadium that is almost twice the present capacity, an improved practice facility and further improvement of the team through desired player acquisitions.
But, Atonement being a publicly owned club need to justify the time and resources that would be at stake In order to undertake this project. The four major sources of revenue for the team Include the number of fans attending the match, the sponsorship rights It receives from other companies, the sale of club merchandise and Its broadcast rights sold to television channels. By building a new stadium, which has an estimated cost of 250 million spread over the next two years, Atonement hopes to increase the current capacity of 36500 people to 60000 fans per match.
This is estimated to increase the revenues through attendance by 40 percent ND considerable merchandise sale as well. The club also plans on investing in better practice facility and better players, thus increasing the odds of winning matches.
