Editing PSV Eindhoven (section)

==Organization and finances==
PSV was an [[Sports club|association]] (''vereniging'') until 1999, when it became a [[public limited company]] with shareholders (''[[naamloze vennootschap]]''). It meant that the club installed a [[board of directors]], who are not involved in most of the decision-making processes. Instead, they serve as an advising and supervising entity. All shares but one are owned by a [[Foundation (nonprofit)|foundation]], the Foundation PSV Football. The remaining share is owned by the Eindhoven Football Club PSV, another separate entity. The general manager holds responsibility for all activities regarding the club, and is supported by a manager operations and a treasurer. PSV also appoints a [[director of football]], who manages football-related processes such as transfers (in conjunction with the technical staff), in order to control the long-term planning.<ref name="organisation">{{cite web |title=Organisation |url=http://www.psv.nl/Club/Organisation.htm |publisher=PSV.nl |access-date=29 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714205757/http://www.psv.nl/Club/Organisation.htm |archive-date=14 July 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

PSV was founded by [[Philips]] and in the first decades, the club was only open to employees. The club did sign players from elsewhere, however; one of the perks of playing for PSV was that players who were offered a football contract were always offered a Philips job as well. Philips has been kit sponsor since 1982 and the PSV home ground has included the Philips name since its foundation. The company was paying €7.5&nbsp;million per year for the sponsoring when they ended their kit sponsorship role in 2016.<ref name="phiipspsv">{{cite web |title=Philips en PSV: spannende relatie of verstandshuwelijk? |url=http://www.molblog.nl/bericht/Philips-en-PSV-spannende-relatie-of-verstandshuwelijk/ |publisher=Molblog |access-date=29 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130816192449/http://www.molblog.nl/bericht/Philips-en-PSV-spannende-relatie-of-verstandshuwelijk/ |archive-date=16 August 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="phiipspsv100">{{cite web |title=PSV extend Philips relationship beyond 100 years |date=10 March 2011 |url=http://www.sportspromedia.com/news/psv_extend_philips_relationship_beyond_100th_year/ |publisher=Sports Pro Media |access-date=29 June 2013 |archive-date=14 July 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714165433/http://www.sportspromedia.com/news/psv_extend_philips_relationship_beyond_100th_year/ |url-status=live }}</ref> [[Frits Philips]], chairman of the company between 1961 and 1971, became an icon for PSV during his lifetime.

But disappointing performances since 2008 meant that the club ended up with a yearly €10–20&nbsp;million negative balance, forcing the club to cut costs and obtain new revenues. The ground under the stadium and the training facilities were sold for €48.4&nbsp;million to the Eindhoven municipality in a [[leasehold estate]] construction. PSV also took out a €20&nbsp;million loan with Philips and additional loans with local entrepreneurs.<ref name="10questions">{{cite web |title=PSV: antwoord op 10 veelgestelde vragen |url=http://www.psv.nl/Nieuws/Nieuwspagina/PSV-antwoord-op-10-veelgestelde-vragen.htm |publisher=PSV.nl |access-date=29 June 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130508161517/http://www.psv.nl/Nieuws/Nieuwspagina/PSV-antwoord-op-10-veelgestelde-vragen.htm |archive-date=8 May 2013 }}</ref> The club also introduced sponsoring on the back of the player kits.
