About this ebook
'a must-read' - Daniel Storey
'Superb, from the first page to the last' – Daniel Taylor
Football journalist Nick Miller lifts the lid on football club ownership: the defining issue shaping the modern game.
Football club owners can take teams to the heights of the Champions League or send them out of existence entirely. They have to tread a precarious tightrope, navigating the issues presented by super leagues, rapidly escalating wages, transfer fees and financial fair play.
Who Owns Football? uncovers the jeopardy, strategies, transformative successes and horror stories, steering you through the complex world in which the people who control our game live and operate. There's the owner who was a safe-breaker, the man who tried to burn down his own stadium and even one who was accused of war crimes.
This insightful guide is full of fascinating characters, high finance and shady deals. Miller examines the forces at play and discusses how today's football club ownership models face up to an impending crisis. But among the potential doom, there are some bright lights, people who are doing things differently and might make you think there is some hope after all.
