In eight short yearsEnglish football has been completely transformed.In 1989with clubs already banned from Europethe Hillsborough disaster tragically exposed football's crumbling groundsself-serving administration and callous neglect of its followers.Millions still loved the gameplaying it or loyally supporting clubsbut they were treated as pariahs.Football was in disgrace.Who could imagine that now 1995 Todaycleaned up and sitting downfootball is the sport of the '90sloudly hyped by a newly adoring media.Crowds sit down in slick new grounds watching an exciting generation of millionaire players - GiggsesFowlers smiling Alan Sheaers - in the satellite-television-fuelled FA Carling Premiership.But football's change goes deeper than this.It has become big business.Since the Taylor report forced English clubs to spend £600 million rebuilding their groundsand since SKY and the BBC put £1 billion into the gamea new breed of serious business men have taken over top football clubsmany making huge personal fortunes.Belowsmaller clubs and the grass-roots are still struggling to survive. In 'The Football Business'David Conn xamines the changed game of football changed in the '90s and analyses the transformations of clubs such as Manchester UnitedNewcastle UnitedTottenham Hotspur and others into stock market moneymaking machines.Who are these new owners of clubs and why are they in football What have the changes meant to supporters Why with football enjoying new phenomenal wealthare some Nationwide League clubs facing financial ruin How healthy are football's grass-roots This book searches behind English football's hype to ask what has really happenedwhat has been gained and what has been lostas football has ceased to be a game and become a business.
