Description

The Club: How the Premier League Became the Richest, Most Disruptive Business in Sport The transformation of English football into a global commercial powerhouse is a story of ambition, experimentation, and risk-taking. Over just twenty-five years, the Premier League has grown from a relatively small business into a global entertainment empire, with a presence in 185 countries. This remarkable growth has come at a cost, however, as local fans are priced out and the clubs' local identities begin to fade. The story of the Premier League's rise to success is told through exclusive interviews with key executives, including those from Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea. These insights offer a unique perspective on the business decisions and personalities that have shaped the league into what it is today. This book provides a fascinating account of the Premier League's history, from its humble beginnings to its current status as a global phenomenon.
