In this detailed analysis of the modern game the author brings the insight of a financial investigative journalist to the business of football. This is the book's strength, as he can lay bare the absurdity of much of its financial basis, but also its weakness, as the relentless barrage of figures, shocking though they are, can wear the reader down. It remains an eloquent testimony to the greed of owners and the resilience of supporters.
