Inter and Arsenal’s money experts to speak at Soccerex

Inter Milan’s managing director Ernesto Paolillo and Arsenal’s chief executive Ivan Gazidis will tackle the thorny issue of football club financing at the Soccerex European Forum.

Football finance expert Paolillo heads the European Club Association’s working group on club finance.

Arsenal chief Gazidis will explain how his club operates in a financially sustainable way.

Over half of the 650 clubs examined in a recent Uefa survey were loss-making, and a fifth were incurring “huge losses”. Football finance will be a key topic at the Soccerex European Forum and will be discussed by representatives from Uefa, the European Club Association, clubs and financial experts including Deloitte. The event takes place on March 2 and 3 in Manchester, England.
