Synopsis
In eight short years English football was completely transformed. In 1989, with clubs already banned from Europe, the Hillsborough disaster tragically exposed football`s crumbling groups, self-serving administ-ration and callous neglect of iys followers. Football was in disgrace. Who could imagine that now? Today, cleaned up and sitting down, fotball is the sport of the 90s, much hyped ny the newly adoring media. But football is more than a game in recovery. It is now big business. Since the Taylor report forced English clubs to spend 600 million rebuilding their grounds and since Sky and the BBCp put 1 billion into the game, serious businessmen have arrived in football and have mostly been welcomed because of the money they were investing into the long-term health of the game.

Review
"piercing examination of the sharp-elbowed opportunists who formed, and took advantage of, the new league." (The Independent)
Synopsis
In eight years English football has been transformed. In 1989 clubs were banned from Europe and the Hillsborough disaster exposed football's crumbling grounds. Today football is cleaned up and is also big business. Since the Taylor report forced English clubs to spend #600 million rebuilding their grounds, and since Sky and the BBC put #1 billion into the game, serious businessmen have arrived in football, and have mostly been welcomed because of the money they were "investing" into the "long-term health of the game". This book examines the transformation and asks is it still a game or a business?
