Once upon a time football was run by modest local businessmen.
Today it is the plaything of billionaire oligarchs, staggeringly
wealthy from oil and gas, from royalty, or from murkier sources.
But who are these new masters of the universe? Where did all their
money come from? And what do they want with our beautiful game?
While almost cloaked in secrecy, the billionaire owner has to raise
his head above the bunker when it comes to football ownership - a
rare Achilles heel that allows access to worlds normally off limits
journalists and outsiders. In the Billionaires Club James Montague
delves deeper than anyone ever dared, to tell this story for the
first time. He criss-crosses the world - from Dhaka to Doha, from
China to Crewe, from St Louis to London, from Bangkok to Belgium -
to profile this new elite, their network of money and their
influence that defies geographic boundaries. The Billionaires Club
is part history of club ownership, part in-depth investigation into
the money and influence that connects the super-rich around the
globe, and part travel book as he follows the ever-shifting trail
around the globe in an attempt to reveal the real force behind
modern-day football. At its heart The Billionaires Club is a
football book, about some of the biggest clubs in the world. But it
is also about something bigger: the world around us, the global
economy, where the world is headed and how football has become an
essential cog in this machine.
