A lack of 'sustainability thinking' is evident at the heart of many
of the problems that football faces today; from the huge amounts of
money that clubs seem compelled to spend on what are often
short-term gains - and the speculation, debt and market-centred
ideology that goes with it - to the not unrelated deep
disenchantment experienced by many football fans for a game that
they still, despite it all, remain determined to love.
Sustainability here is more broadly conceptualised than focusing on
environmental issues. It encompasses social and economic
sustainability, albeit with a critical eye on the interdependent,
often contradictory, relationship between what the United Nations
regards as the three 'pillars' of sustainability (environmental,
social and economic). Fittingly, this book is the result of an
international collaboration between an interdisciplinary network of
academics and football industry practitioners, brought together by
the Centre for the Study of Football and its Communities (CSFC),
based at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK. The critical
insights collected here focus not just on football's problems, but
also how clubs, authorities, players and fans in a range of local
contexts are positively tackling the challenges of surviving and
thriving in the contemporary global game. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Sport & Society.
