Could have been a god but chose to be a Devil’. The 2004 European Championships and Wayne Rooney’s departure from Everton Football Club
The world of elite football is woven from complex and intriguing relations informing the identities of players, clubs and supporters, across local, national and international boundaries. Often, key players with a global presence become a catalyst informing such relations. This paper considers one stark example of this: the case of Wayne Rooney, a local Liverpool lad and football protégée who raced through the ranks of Everton’s youth academy to e…
The name game
This exploratory paper examines the potential value of working with the concept of ‘epithets’ in football. We discuss that their variability and their possible significance in illuminating ways would-be football connoisseurs are able to internalize an archive of footballing memories – some directly experienced, others reflect on second-hand. We conclude that epithets contain their own message about the past and prevailing social relationships in …

Football in Neo-Liberal Times
This book offers an original Marxist critique of the European football business. It argues that the Marxist account of the difference between profits and surplus value is crucial to an understanding of the fluid and contradictory nature of the commodification of football. Section one analyses the nature of modern professional football and section two highlights attempts, via government agency and football clubs, to corral fans into ever greater i…
Left wing’ supporter movements and the political economy of football
The diversity of left wing sentiments among supporter groups raises the issue of whether it is sensible to unify groups under the banner of ‘left wing’. Does unity amount to little more than an elective affinity between supporter groups campaigning against commerce, fascism, sectarianism and consumerism? This study argues that there is a more substantive unity between supporters who might see themselves as ‘left wing’. It is argued that their pol…
Sometimes you go into competitions with little or no expectations”
This paper analyses media coverage of the England football team in the run up to Euro 2012. The study also describes the dominant discourse of ‘low expectations’ underpinning media representations of England and considers various reasons for this. Short-term factors are considered, including the resignation of the England manager, the intra-team tensions arising from racism, along with longer-term factors, including the perceived constraints plac…
Introduction
At a time when institutional levers are being pulled to counter the twin threats of racism and rampant commercialism, traditional grassroots radicalism amongst football supporters committed to opposing these long-standing problems in European professional football are in danger of being overlooked. Football is a cultural form, which carries with it the possibility of promoting the voices of the disenfranchised and the marginalized, and as such th…
Football supporters and the commercialisation of football
European football market finances appear to be in very good health and impervious to the current Euro-wide financial crises. Yet beneath the apparent financial buoyancy a different story emerges, one of fan exploitation, spiraling debt and the threat of bankruptcy hanging over many clubs. In this introduction to the special issue we chart what is effectively a political economy of debt underpinning the European football market and threatening to …
Supporters Direct and supporters’ governance of football
Supporters Direct, a sports policy initiative launched by the British Labour government in 2000, has consolidated its position in the intervening decade and experienced considerable success in setting up supporters’ trusts. This success has encouraged the European football governing body, UEFA, to give its backing to the establishment of the Supporters Direct model across European leagues. This chapter develops a broadly Marxist political economy…
It’s the little details that make up our identity’
This article analyses the debate among Everton supporters concerning their football club’s proposed move from Goodison Park to a location outside the City of Liverpool. The debate is used as a case study to assess the balance of forces among supporters regarding their accommodation or resistance to commodification. On the basis of evidence drawn from extensive analysis of Everton fan Internet forums, we conclude that any thesis concerning a gener…
Multiple Accountabilities in Incident Reporting and Management
In this article, we examine the current and increasing emphasis on accountability and patient safety in health care, focusing on practices of incident reporting and management in New South Wales, Australia. We describe the frames of accountability associated with an incident reporting system, and explore how this system manifests in practice. In contrast to literature that situates incident reporting and local practices as oppositional, we used e…
Towards a Marxist political economy of football supporters
In recent studies of football supporters, a specifically Marxist understanding of commodification has been left out of the equation, producing analysis that tends to superimpose commodification and ignore the wider relations of production out of which the dialectical contradictions of commodification arise. This paper aims to demonstrate the practical import of a Marxist political economy of football support through a case study of Everton suppor…
The Knowledge Economy and Labour Power in Late Capitalism
This paper offers a Marxist critique of the prevailing view that the knowledge economy marks a decisive shift in capitalism away from the exploitation of labour and argues instead that the knowledge economy is part of the broader transition of value relations under late capitalism, which manifests most clearly in the increasing difficulties late capitalism experiences in containing the power of social labour. Drawing out this argument the paper c…

Innovation stochastique et coût de la réglementation environnementale
Cette étude démontre que le coût de la réglementation peut être négatif quand l’innovation induite par la réglementation a un élément stochastique. Ce résultat comporte deux aspects. Premièrement, si l’entreprise est neutre envers le risque, la réglementation fait nécessairement augmenter les coûts attendus, mais les coûts peuvent être inférieurs ex post pour certaines réalisations du processus d’innovation. Le fait que cette réduction de coûts s…
Ambiguity, complexity and convergence
Previously, the impact of ethnicity on association football in Britain has been discussed in terms of its contribution to the cultural development of Scotland and Northern Ireland. By highlighting the history of football clubs formed by the Irish in a major English city, such as Liverpool, this article seeks to broaden the debate on this aspect of British football out of the ‘Celtic-centric’ parameters it has exclusively been discussed in. Primar…
Preserving and Extending the Commodification of Football Supporter Relations
This paper examines the role of Supporters Direct, a sports policy initiative launched by the British Labour government in 2000. The objective of Supporters Direct is to democratise football clubs by intervening in what it views as the unequal relationship that exists between the relatively powerless supporters of football clubs and private shareholders who have organisational control of clubs. They hope to achieve this by facilitating mutual for…
Marxism and the Relative Autonomy of the Capitalist State
Marxist theories of the state adopt either a functionalist view of the state as absolutely or relatively autonomous from the ruling class and capitalist economy, or a dialectical view of the state as a form of capital that leaves no scope for autonomy. This paper argues both views are one-sided. The paper is in two parts. Part One, presented here, argues that the contemporary capitalist state takes on an increasingly relatively autonomous relatio…
Social policy, social exclusion and commodity fetishism
This article provides a political economy of social policy and its current emphasis on social inclusion/exclusion. It considers this in terms of three interrelated processes: the rise in a population surplus to capital; the rejuvenation of a reserve army of labour power; and the decline of the commodity form of labour power. On the basis of a critical examination of the work of Bauman (1998) and Byrne (1999), the article begins by looking at the …
The politics of ‘lifelong learning’ in post‐1997 Hong Kong
This article is concerned with the politics of lifelong learning policy in post‐1997 Hong Kong (HK). The paper is in four parts. Continuing Education, recast as ‘lifelong learning’, is to be the cornerstone of the post‐Handover education reform agenda. The lineaments of a familiar discourse are evident in the Education Commission policy documents. However, to view recent HK education policy just in terms of an apparent convergence with global tre…
Spain
The article considers the two countrywide political forces on the Spanish left, the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) and United Left (IU). A brief history of the parties is followed by an assessment of their current prospects. It is argued that several changes of leadership within the PSOE since former Prime Minister Felipe González resigned in 1997 have been only one indication of the difficulties faced by the party as it seeks to establi…
Learning cultures and learning styles
The picture that often emerges from the research literature on 'Chinese learners' is a caricature of rote-learning, memorization and passivity. This article takes issue with the stereotype. The paper is in three parts. The first part considers the extent to which Chinese culture may influence Chinese learning styles. Some received opinions are counterpoised with more recent reinterpretations. The paper later examines some of the findings from the…
Interpretation in National Parks
This paper notes an increasing cultural diversity in visitation patterns to protected areas/national parks, and goes on to question a series of assumptions that underpin conservation education and approaches to interpretation in protected areas. It is concerned with content rather than interpretational techniques; it questions the central role of Western, science based ecological thinking in interpretation. The paper stems from research in Minnam…
Coming to Terms with Contemporary Capitalism
This article challenges the prevailing orthodoxy which suggests that contemporary global capitalism is in the ascendancy. In the context of an evaluation of the extensive literature supporting the ascendancy argument and a brief synopsis of empirical evidence supporting a decline thesis, a number of alternative theories of capitalist transition are then assessed. It is argued that each theory, in different ways, offers an inadequate explanation o…
