A remarkable and astonishing transformation ... detailed with panache
The most fascinating book ever written about the Premier League
Brilliant
Magnificent ... Witty, pacy, thorough, this is a book hard to put down
A tale told with much verve and some wit by two experienced sports journalists ... Revelatory
captures the Premier League's startling and continuing evolution...Robinson and Clegg specialise in access...the scene setting is lively
A fascinating and necessary investigation into the forces that led to the creation of the Premier League. Meticulous in its research
Clegg and Robinson are expert storytellers in unspooling the narrative of one of Britain's most successful exports, illustrating the creative tensions between owners that made it possible. The work is at once thorough but also readable and entertaining, with protagonists presented as real live characters, rather than faceless suits: a testament to their reporting and writing skills
Richly detailed, remarkably told . . . Clegg and Robinson provide unparalleled access to the people who make the league go
Astute ... forensic and impeccably sourced
A fascinating book, by two witty and meticulous sports writers
A vivid portrait ... but also a candid account of the league's imperialist present and likely future ... it's quite an achievement
A jaunty journey through the past quarter of a century in English football
Magnificent . . . a fine job they have done explaining how English football went from moribund national embarrassment to globe-bestriding colossus. Witty, pacy, thorough, this is a book hard to put down.
Informative and regularly entertains
A shrewd and colourful account of the Premier League's business history
A brilliant book on the business history of the Premier League
