| Aspect for evaluation | Model with active fans | Model with non-active fans |

| Identity and Sporting Performance Pressures | All variables were reliable. The most highly rated by active fans were VAL-HPP (high performance players) and VAL-TS (coaching staff). | All variables were reliable. The variables most valued by active supporters were VAL-TS (coaching staff) and VAL-SoP (player stability). |
| Economic outcomes | The outer loading indicated that the most relevant variable was MER (merchandising). However, due to a multicollinearity problem, the most relevant variable was BR (broadcasting rights) | The outer loading indicated that the most relevant variable was TIC (income from Single and Season Tickets).
