From Chris Blackhurst, the former Editor of the Independent, comes
a gripping and tightly reported account of how the Glazers, owners
of Manchester United, became the most maligned figures in the
Premier League, and how they changed the beautiful game forever.
Manchester United’s supporters span the globe and cross
generations. But, with few exceptions, they are united in their
anger with the American family who bought their club in 2005,
plunging it into record levels of debt. The Glazers’ reign has
become synonymous with the financialization of football, and has
coincided with fan protests and a decline of Manchester United’s
fortunes on the pitch . . . if not on the balance sheet. But what
defines this secretive family, and do these astute businessmen
deserve the opprobrium they receive? In this captivating account,
informed by interviews with key figures behind the scenes,
journalist and commentator Chris Blackhurst charts the gripping
story of the world’s biggest football club – as well as
exploring the wider transformation of the Premier League into a
playground for billionaire owners.
