*OUT NOW* THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Neville at his authentic
best. [He] is the closest thing to a spokesman there is for English
football.' Sunday Times 'Brilliant.' Mail on Sunday 'Gary Neville
usually talks a lot of sense, and writes it too . . . Neville's
words are timely.' Henry Winter, The Times 'The People's Game is
[Gary's] call to mend football, harmed by the greed and selfishness
of bigger clubs and associations.' Radio Times __________ The
beautiful game is under threat. The greed and selfishness of the
biggest clubs is harming the sport, with smaller clubs struggling
for financial survival and supporters being left behind. It's time
to fix football. __________ Football is the people's game. A sport
accessible to everyone and enjoyed by millions around the world.
But football is broken. Beneath the glamourous sheen of the Premier
League, it's a game that's rusting and rotten. The growing
influence and wealth of the biggest teams is harming the game,
leaving fans out of pocket and smaller clubs clinging to survival.
The European Super League, which looked to eradicate competition in
favour of guaranteed profits, was just the beginning. This isn't
what football is about. Something's got to change. Enough is
enough. Gary Neville has had a front-row seat in football for over
30 years, witnessing the sport at every level - as a player, a
coach, a pundit and an owner. Most of all, he's a fan. Shocked by
the state of the game, Gary looks to find out how we got into this
mess, who's responsible, and what we can do about it. The People's
Game is Gary's vision for a brighter future. Drawing on interviews
with those at the epicentre of the sport's biggest issues - from
the role of ownership to the lack of funding in the football
league, the rise in racism, ownership models and the future of the
women's game - he explains how football has sleepwalked into this
mess and offers a new path forward. With stories from his own
playing career, as well as insight into some of the biggest
footballing decisions in recent history, this is a total look at
the game today. This is a passionate, personal and critical account
of how football lost its soul, and what we can do to get it back.
