This book challenges the way football is presently run – and also
challenges the assertion that the premier league has been a
success.
Ten
seasons of the premier league have left 74 clubs in debt –
some in a terminal state. There is a league within a league,
with the big clubs, Man Utd., Liverpool, Leeds, Arsenal and
Chelsea, dominating football. Football has been transformed
from the people’s game to big business dressed in shorts.
Ten
seasons of the premier league swindle calls for the game to
be reclaimed by the fans.
