We think that Every day top-end football is becoming more and more about money. - e.g. Man City's dodgy finances (which has paid off) and Chelsea's insane approach to transfers and contracts (which occasionally looks like it might pay off). So a book with an economist's view on the money factors as well as actual football matters, like the impact of managers, makes a lot of sense. It's an interesting read for anyone with a view on the running of the sport. It's too easy a comparison, but it's basically Freakonomics for football.
