The Club: How the Premier League Became the Richest, Most Disruptive Business in Sport

I have enjoyed this book. Fast and intriguing read. I enjoyed the many inside stories that came in the book and I finally understood how the PL became the biggest and richest league in the world. The book is also kind of sad as the world of football is changing and being monetized. Gone are the days that you support a club because of its history and achievements and hello to the days where the rich get even ridiculously more richer.Fun book to read.

I never thought a non-fiction book could be a page turner but this one is it. I blew through it in under one week which is pretty fast for me! As an American who is relatively new to European soccer/football, this book really gave me a lot of insight into the Premier League.Have you ever looked at the list of Prem champions and wondered how and why Blackburn Rovers snuck their way onto that list? This book goes over a lot of interesting stories like that.It’s non-fiction but reads like a novel. I highly recommend it.

The book goes into detail in what the league was like before the creation of the PL and the astonishing growth since. I would recommend this to any sports business fan

An excellent well reseached and well written book that could be just a fact filled,but is in fact is an exiting ,intriguing journey through the history of the the Premier League

Excellente

The book is informative and - like the subject of the book - a good entertainment in itself. Great read for anyone interested in football (soccer), globalization and the 'love match' between Football and TV.There are many funny passages, perhaps even more so for non native speakers like me, here just one example:"On the pitch, Gullit's comically superior standard was obvious. From his position behind the defence, he would bring down long balls on his chest and then volley a pass out to this fullbacks just to hear the crowd gasp. (The more traditional English approach in that situation would have been to hammer the ball into the next parliamentary constituency) But when he tried to build Chelsea's play from the back in the Dutch style he'd always known, Gullit ran into trouble: he'd pass the ball to his fellow defenders only to find that they didn't want the damn thing.... . (p. 83).
