Richer Than God is an authoritative, emotional, provocative account
of Manchester City's takeover by Sheikh Mansour, culminating in
their remarkable last minute Premier League title victory in May
2012. By placing the club's extraordinary current rise in the wider
context of its patchy modern history, this is also the story of
English football's transformation - from the battlegrounds of the
1980s to today's moneyed, seated, global entertainment. Conn is led
to question the very nature of football clubs and being a
supporter, the underlying values and running of what used to be
called 'the people's game'. A labour of love, this powerfully told
account of Manchester City's fall and rise, based on meticulous
research over many years, and exclusive access and interviews with
key figures, is written in the gripping, revelatory style Conn has
made his trademark.
