Description
The Billionaires Club: An Examination of Football Club Ownership in the Era of Super-Rich Owners In 2018, James Montague delves into the world of football club ownership, revealing how billionaire oligarchs have transformed the sport. From Dhaka to Doha, and from China to Crewe, Montague profiles this new elite, their network of money and influence that spans geographic boundaries. The book is part history of club ownership, part in-depth investigation into the global economy, and part travelogue as Montague follows the trail of these super-rich owners. He explores the dawn European Super League and its repercussions for the future of football. With this unique perspective, Montague sheds light on the world around us, where football has become an essential cog in the machine. Through his investigation, Montague uncovers the stories behind some of the biggest clubs in the world, revealing the real force behind modern-day football.
