Why Study Abroad When IIPM Gives You 3 global Advantages!

Sure they are playing the game, the game of money, that is...

Thierry Henry is the former Captain of Arsenal Football Club. The name may strike a chord only with the most ardent football aficionados; but the fact that he just got richer by $33.07 million will make anyone sit up and take notice. Yes, an outlandish 24 million euros is the sum for which he was transferred from Arsenal to Barcelona Football Club. Elsewhere, in the UK, steel tycoon L.N. Mittal is showing a keen interest in acquiring Birmingham FC. Perhaps he is inspired by Roman Abramovic, the 16th richest man on earth (Forbes), who owns English club Chelsea (having $304.37 million revenues).

Money is flowing from all directions - merchandise, sponsorships, broadcasts, memberships and gate receipts on the match day. According to Deloitte, Spanish club Real Madrid churned out a stupendous $402.43 million in revenues (excluding player transfer fees) during 2005- 06, placing it on top amongst all football clubs, followed by Barcelona with $356.85 million & Juventus with $345.97 million. The English Premier League with revenues worth 2 billion euros (2005-06) is the largest & most profitable. It is expected that revenues of the league will rise to a staggering 2.5 billion euros for the 2007-08 season.

Well, going by basic diktats of economics, more money should make better teams. But correlate the revenues earned with the outcome of UEFA Champions League, 2006- 07 & this assumption looks completely flawed. The winner this year was not among Real Madrid, FC Barcelona or Juventus, but the relatively humble AC Milan, Italy (eighth in terms of revenue earnings). Money corrupts, eh?!?!

ARINDAM CHAUDHURI’S 4 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE IIPM...

Opposition gains electoral ground

Is Lebanon a nation-state or merely a pawn in the hands of Washington & Damascus? These questions are bound to be asked about a nation, which despite being subjected to regular wars, has refused to mature. Yes, maturity has eluded the nation divided on sectarian lines, between the Muslims and the Christians. This divide was much too visible in the recently concluded elections in Metn, Lebanon.

A rather newcomer to the game of politics, Kamil Khoury (supported by former General Michel Aoun), the Opposition candidate, was able to defeat the government backed Amin Gemayel, the former President (1982-88) & the father of slain Member of Parliament Pierre Gemayel. Amin’s party which holds Syria responsible for the murder of his son warned the Opposition during the elections that “Metn will never be a suburb of Damascus”. Retorting against the allegations of the murder and launching a frontal attack against Gemayel, Gen. Anon had said that these are “windmills of lies… “I will not call them sons of snakes, but sons of rumours & rumours are like a rootless weed. Once you pluck it out, it dies.’’ That the Opposition candidate was backed by none other than the former army commander Aoun, has irked the pro-Washington government, and the US backed Christian lobby. The question, which many Western analysts are asking is, how could a Christian (Gen. Michel) support the Hezbollah & Syria backed candidate?

It is no hidden fact that the US has been diligently trying to undermine the Syrian hold over the nation. And by trying to obliterate the Syrian impact from Lebanese psyche, the US & Israel are doing a disservice to global peace and stability. If the US continues to force a change of heart in Lebanon, merely to fulfill its own & of course, the Israeli vested interest, then all that the world will get is far greater instability & bloodbath, generating a fresh breeding ground for terrorism.
