"If you want some accessible but informative insight into football then I suggest you couldn't do better than the Political Economy of Football website, which is not only intelligible but comes with the added bonus of being written by Addicks fan Wyn Grant."

Getafe CF is relatively young being orginally founded in 1946. By end of season 1981/82, following unpaid payments to players, the club was automatically relegated and subsequently liquidated. It was refounded in 1983 with the merger of two junior clubs, Club Deportivo Peña Getafe and Club Getafe Promesas. The club has grown in-line with the town as a previously agricultural-based economy increasingly gave way to becoming a commuter and light industry suburb of Madrid. Only since season 2004/05 has the club being playing in the top division in Spain. Home matches are played at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez (capacity 17,700).

Turnover and pre-tax profit figures are in Euro millions.
