If you never believed that 90's football was about enjoyment of the masses and had a sneeking suspicion that it had more to do with business then this is the book for you! It neatly dismisses all those long forgotten myths that football is for the fans and replaces it with the notion that football is about the business ethos. It takes a look at power, control and the men in grey suites who are determined to take the game away from the true fans and place it in the hands of the only people who can afford the ticket prices! It also serves the excellent purpose of confirming the fans view of their identity and where it comes from.
