We present a brief overview of the analysis of football club Annual
Reports from an EBP perspective. As previous research on the topic has
proved (Morrow, 2005), this is a unique business model
where both “success on the field” and “finance off the
field” often converge in the Chairman’s Statement. Although other
authors have researched on the financial and economic analysis (Barajas,
2004; Dobson & Goddard, 2011; Szymanski & Kuypers, 1999), it is our aim
to provide a linguistic analysis of the narrative sections of football club
Annual Reports. From this perspective, we will analyze the initial
paragraphs of five 2009-2010 English football club Chairman’s
Statements, trying to find a connection between the initial sequence of
the structure developed by Fortanet-Gómez (2009), which was based on
other industries (e.g., banking or telecommunication), and the
introduction written by the chairman of a football club. [-]
