Book
Who owns football?: the changing face of club ownership
by Nick Miller
On the shelf? Just pop in.
Leading football writer Nick Miller lifts the lid on modern football club ownership with tales of the good, the bad and the ugly side of the business. Aside from a ball and 11 players on each team, virtually everything about football has changed since the first games took place in the mid-1800s. Although now less accessible and accountable than ever before, football club owners are now arguably more important than ever, with the ability to drastically change the fortunes of a club at the drop of a hat. Goodies such as Steve Gibson who saved Middlesbrough from debt and led them to the Premier League have become heroes, but terrible owners are the ones we remember because of the scars they have left behind.
