Thijs A. Velema, an Associate Professor in Sociology at National Taipei University, has been examining labor markets in professional football from the perspective of football clubs rather than players. In his book Football Clubs and the Global Transfer Market (Routledge) Velema endeavors to develop a sociological theory about football clubs as myopic gamblers playing the transfer market.
