The Beautiful Game is Over by John Samuels
Over the last twenty years football has moved from being a local sport, with success based on gate receipts and good leadership, to being a global sport based on TV ratings, sponsorship and lots of money.A few teams dominate, both on the pitch and in the transfer market. In the Premiership there are 16 clubs who face relegation and four who have a chance of being champions. What's up with the beautiful game?This is a book for football fans who are fed up with reading about the successes, the transfer dealings, the wage negotiations and the scandals of the few 'elite' clubs.Why have some clubs hit the big time and so many more missed out?Will the game be up for many more struggling teams, or can they claw their way back to the big time? "The Beautiful Game is Over" argues convincingly and urgently for change.
John Samuels is Emeritus Professor of Business Finance at the University of Birmingham. He has written books on the subjects of company finance, accounting, mergers and take-overs. A football fan all his life, this is his first book about the game. He lives in Solihull.
