Critics Review
“Really important and timely book about a game that’s losing its soul; a fascinating, forensic look at the ills of English football and how to cure them.”
“If digested properly, this book could change football. As someone who believes football has a value that cannot and must not be measured, this book has a value that is immeasurable.”
“Those that run football have little, if any, idea of what it means to those millions that love and live football. This book illustrates how the game can be returned to those that truly understand what football is before it is lost forever: and that is the fans.”
