Interesting how often Villa appear given that they are being cited throughout the football community as having serious problems in behind the scenes management adversely effecting on pitch performance. Reminiscent of us in the last couple of years

Aren't these the awards where Paul Barber is one of the judges?

I can't imagine how we're up for so many awards

I like this one:


American Express Community Stadium
Emirates Stadium
Manchester United, Old Trafford
Stamford Bridge
Wembley Stadium - Ball Street and Vauxhall present Ian Wrights #OneMoreGame
White Hart Lane, home of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club


Is it just assumed that people just know we play at the AMEX like Arsenal and Chelsea with The Emirated and Stamford Bridge, however, for places where little teams play they have to spell it out?

edit: As an aside I do find it very bizaree that they refer to it as Premiership repeatedly when it hasn't been called that for some time. I assume that these awards are therefore not recognised by the Premier League?

Didn't we just have these? Or is there more than one set? It's like having the Brits twice.

Who sets up this event, and who votes for the nominees and the actual awards themselves? Having once had a girlfriend who worked in "events" I'm very cynical about these types of awards and what they actually mean. It was her business to concoct things like this; most were a sham and nothing more than high profile self-serving back patting soirees for a small circle of people which made big bucks for her. Not saying this is one of them, but her work has made me cynical.

I know what you mean - there are plenty of 'awards' like that.

I'm the chairman of the judges for industry awards that definitely aren't - they're designed to select the best. Unfortunately, such is the cynicism in the industry, we're constantly having to defend ourselves against accusations of bias/corruption/favouritism. I hope the Football Business Awards aren't like that but it wouldn't shock me if they were

I have no doubt there are many legit awards. Her company was in business purely to create events, conferences and award ceremonies like this though.
