Rezensionen

I regard Stefan Szymanski as a trusted and smart thinker on the soccer business. This is fast-moving industry, and he's one of the best guides to it." Billy Beane, General Manager of the Oakland A's

Stefan is a sports historian and fellow economist with a deep knowledge of the game and its trends. His analysis and data is profound and this very comprehensive book gives a true insight into the continued success of the biggest clubs like 'blue chip' stocks and the never-ending pursuit of glory by the minnows and the chances of David beating Goliath. The book illustrates why football continues to be the world's most popular participant and spectator sport attracting the world's richest men and armies of devoted followers." Gordon Taylor, chief executive of the Professional Footballers Association (PFA)

Soccer finance has become an increasingly important part of the beautiful game. But for many fans, it remains, frustratingly, a world that is opaque and difficult to grasp. Here, Stefan Szymanski tackles every soccer fan's most burning questions with clarity and fun and pure brilliance." John Henry, Principal Owner, Fenway Sports Group parent company of Liverpool FC and the Boston Red Sox
