...Liverpool Rebranding Liverpool is a city in the north west of England and has a population of around 470000. It became a city in 1880 and is historically part of Lancashire. Overtime Liverpool has had many identities. In the 18th and 19th centuries it was a huge port with massive ships using the River Mersey to transport cargo and other goods. Around 1960 it became a leader in popular culture. Liverpool needed to rebrand because the city became old and run down but had little money to spend. This is because in the 1980’s Liverpool experienced economic and social deprivation.So Liverpool was in a spiral of decline because it was no longer an attractive place to live and work, people turned to vandalism and crime and some even left the area. With people leaving the area and it being an unsafe place to walk the streets, investors didn’t want to invest which meant the city couldn’t move forward. Liverpool is seen to be a city of culture because it has a rich history in popular music, most notably ‘The Beatles’. It also has a rich history in performing arts with an annual summer Shakespeare event. More evidence of it’s performing arts pedigree is the number of theatres, Empire, Everyman, Playhouse, Neptune, Royal Court and Unity Theatres are all very famous theatres. Liverpool also has two premier league football teams with Liverpool and Everton competing at the highest level. All of this shows that Liverpool has so much culture to offer and this is why it was awarded...

...Introduction to Studying to Organizations In order to analyse the Hillsborough police department from an organizational perspective, we must know what an organization is. An organization is a social system, which comprises the coordinated action of two or more people towards attaining an objective (Donaldson, 1985). We can also specifically classify the Hillsborough police department as a public sector, not-for profit, service organization, because they serve the community without charging a price for their services. An important focus for the investigation of the Hillsborough disaster, is the bureaucratic tendencies of the police department. While there were many police enforcers involved in the disaster, it is necessary to look at the hierarchy of command to have a better understanding of where to direct the majority of the blame. In a bureaucratic organization, commands are passed downward from superiors to those working beneath them, and there is often a heavy correlation between promotion possibilities and your ability to successfully carry out the orders given to you. With this in mind, who is to blame is becomes a question of who is to blame? On a micro level, Captain Duckenfield and Lieutenant Murray delivered the commands to their subordinates that led to the disaster, but on a macro level, the subordinates within the department carried out the commands when they knew it was unsafe to do so. A defining part of being an organization is being a goal-seeking entity...

...whether to use the talismanic captain as a bit-part player from the bench, or as a starter from now till the end of the season. Gerrard is now entering the final few months of his Liverpool career, and surely there is a lot of sentiment from quarters of the Anfield faithful for him to play as much football for the club till he departs. However, since his absence Liverpool have been on a scintillating run of games having won 8 and drawn 1 game in the Premier League. The current squad is revolved around the dovetailing of Philippe Coutinho and Raheem Sterling and with the current set up; it is difficult to see Gerrard forcing his way into the starting eleven. The big question now though, is how does Rodgers tackle this situation? Will he be doing the right thing by using Gerrard as an impact substitute? Or, does he allow sentiment to get in the way of his decision-making process to start with legendary player? The answer is – to use him as an impact substitute. As bitter a pill that is to swallow for the fans; it is the truth. For so many years the team has looked up at Gerrard to bring them out of trouble. However, that is not the case anymore. The days of Gerrard pulling Liverpool over the line are gone, as he cannot keep up with fluidity of the current team. The kind of form of this Liverpool side is in suggests that Rodgers is building a team with a new identity; an identity without that does not revolve around their talismanic captain being at the forefront of everything...

...Arsenal Football Club were formed as Dial Square in 1886 by workers at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich, south-east London, and were renamed Royal Arsenal shortly afterwards.[8] The club were renamed again to Woolwich Arsenal after becoming a limited company in 1893.[9] The club became the first southern member of the Football League in 1893, starting out in the Second Division, and won promotion to the First Division in 1904. The club's relative geographic isolation resulted in lower attendances than those of other clubs, which led to the club becoming mired in financial problems and effectively bankrupt by 1910, when they were taken over by businessmenHenry Norris and William Hall.[10] Norris sought to move the club elsewhere, and in 1913, soon after relegation back to the Second Division, Arsenal moved to the new Arsenal Stadium in Highbury, north London; they dropped "Woolwich" from their name the following year.[11] Arsenal only finished in fifth place in the second division during the last pre-war competitive season of 1914–15, but were nevertheless elected to rejoin the First Division when competitive football resumed in 1919–20, at the expense of local rivals Tottenham Hotspur. Some books have reported that this election to division 1 was achieved by dubious means.[12] Arsenal appointed Herbert Chapman as manager in 1925. Having already won the league twice with Huddersfield Town in 1923–24 and1924–25 (see Seasons in English football), Chapman brought Arsenal their first...

Adidas is one of the most famous companies for producing the most quality sport goods. “Many people believe that the name Adidas is an acronym that stands for "all day I dream about sports." This idea has been popularly passed around for many years, but it is utterly false.

Therefore, this essay will talk about the history, products and sponsorship. However, Adidas have a rich history like other companies before they become successful in the battlefield of business. It all began in 1924 Germany, with the two brothers Adi and Rudolf Dassler who make shoes in their mother’s wash kitchen. Considering how successful they are today, it neither is funny nor shock for everyone to hear their beginnings. In 1936 Olympics Adi Dassler watched the games and realized that it would be a great deal for them if their shoes are worn by someone participated in the Olympics. So, Adi loaded his selected shoes into his car and asked the U.S runner Jesse Owen to wear his shoe in the Olympic Games. Then, the runner Jesse Owen won four gold medals.

...Ronaldo de Assis Moreira (born 21 March 1980 in Porto Alegre), commonly known as Ronaldinho (Brazilian Portuguese: [ʁonaɫˈdʒĩɲu]) or Ronaldinho Gaúcho,[2] is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Italian Serie A club Milan and the Brazilian national team. He is a free-kick specialist and has exceptional dribbling ability. Ronaldinho, Portuguese for \"Little Ronaldo,\" is known in Brazil by the nickname \"Gaúcho,\" in order to distinguish him from Ronaldo, who was already called \"Ronaldinho\" in Brazil. Ronaldo simply went by his first name upon his move to Europe, thereby allowing Ronaldinho to drop the \"Gaúcho\" and remain simply as Ronaldinho. Prior to his move to Milan, he played for Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona, with whom he won his first Champions League in 2006 and he won the Ballon d\'Or in 2005. He became a Spanish citizen in January 2007.[3]Ronaldinho is one of the best soccer players I ever saw in my life. He does everything very nicely: freekicks, dribles, shoot, velocity, stamina and the list goes on. Ronaldinho has a vision of the game that not many others players does. For example, even when he�s behind the defense players from the other team, he�s able to see his mate in the other side of the field, passing the ball through the defense players. Ronaldinho plays for Barcelona in Spain, where he already won the Uefa Champions League, the most important cup someone can win for a club.
