The untold story of the most contested fixture in world football.
Liverpool and Manchester. Two gloriously independent-minded, eclectic, culturally vibrant places. Yet the inhabitants dislike each other with a passion that is visceral. It is a divide that spans generations, across class, gender and ethnicity. And it has grown over the years, largely driven by one thing: football.
The dark, malignant loathing shared by the followers of Liverpool and Manchester United has seeped into every aspect of life in the two cities. Football is not a barometer of disdain, as it is in places like Glasgow or Istanbul or Moscow. In northwest England, it is the engine of animosity.
How did it come to this? Why did things turn so nasty? And what does it say about the two cities in which the clubs are based?
Written by a Scouser and a Manc in a rare collaboration, Red on Red addresses the divide by talking to those involved in ten seminal football matches. It speaks to the characters who patrolled and provoked the rivalry: Alex Ferguson, Kenny Dalglish, Steven Gerrard and Gary Neville, among many others. Also questioned are the fans, the administrators, the referees, the police, and politicians. And through each legendary game, its authors tell the full story of the most extraordinary division not just in football, but in modern Britain.
This is Red on Red, a rivalry like no other.
For three months every year football clubs buy and sell people.
They spend more than £4 billion a year on footballers, and for
good reason; the right deal can help you win the game's top prizes
while the wrong deal can cost you your job and bankrupt your club.
It is a fast-paced, at times murky and cutthroat world worth
billions, which largely operated behind closed doors - until Jim
White and Kaveh Solhekol stepped in, that is. In Deadline Day, Jim
and Kaveh, two of the world's leading transfer experts, take us
behind the scenes of this uniquely tense, make-or-break element to
the game. They talk of the world's most famous players, managers
and agents - Jose Mourinho, Sir Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola
amongst others - to get to the heart of the most significant deals
in history, as well as the ones that got away. But has the time
come for football to slam shut the transfer window for good? Is it,
after all, more scandal than strategy? Perceptive, entertaining and
dynamically told, Jim and Kaveh reckon with questions integral to
the future of the game in this definitive, never-before-told inside
story of football's transfer window.
