Football is the most affluent sport in the world and has a net worth of more than five-hundred billion pounds. It is played by 250 million people in over 200 nations across the world. But football clubs are now franchises, massive corporations with serious international marketing and financial power. So trophies are no longer important, only the lucrative sponsorship deals that are on offer. This modern tale tells the stories of chairmen, managers, players and many others involved in football. This book is not meant to hurt your love for the Beautiful Game. Honestly, I doubt anything could? It's only meant to show you that behind the glitz and glamour, there's another side you do not see. In sport just like show business, darkness always lives behind the curtain... "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time." ― Abraham Lincoln
