THE FOOTBALL BOOK WITH A ROTTEN EDGE!They used to call it the people s game but not anymore; silent crowds, soulless all-seater stadiums, rip-off ticket pricing, corporate priorities, players diving, 24/7 fixtures, aggressive stewards, overbearing advertising, overpaid players, agents and of course - Sepp Blatter. All of these and more are the target of a relentless attack from Matthew Bazell, who asks why no-one s singing anymore. In a heartfelt personal account, Bazell examines the way in which football, both on and off the field has lost its soul to greed, but argues that, ultimately it s the supporters who have the power to reclaim the game.

Früher nannten sie ihn „the people’s game“, den „Volkssport Fußball“. Heute nicht mehr. In diesem ebenso aufschlussreichen wie witzigen Buch kommt Matthew Bazell zu einem vernichtenden Urteil über den modernen Fußball. Bazell untersucht anhand der englischen Premier League, warum sich der Fußball vom Sport der arbeitenden Bevölkerung zu einem Freizeitvergnügen für eine wohlhabende Mittelschicht entwickelt hat. Mit beißendem Spott und scharfem Blick demontiert Matthew Bazell den modernen Fußball und seine neuen Konsumenten. Aber er lässt uns nicht ohne jede Hoffnung – denn noch ist Widerstand sinnvoll.
