SuitabookThe business of soccer
Clive Gifford
- Reading
- Browse the contents together and let the reader choose a topic to start with; use questions about who does what to connect unfamiliar business roles with familiar football interests.
- Themes
- Football as a business: The guide covers the football industry, club owners, money makers and the sport’s international reach. It is framed as an overview of how football is run, rather than as an explicit argument for or against commercial involvement.
- Players, agents and transfers: Players and agents, transfers, and the demand for players are listed as subjects. These topics are included, but their treatment cannot be inferred from their presence in the contents.
- Worth knowing
- The emphasis is on the business and organisation of football, so a reader looking mainly for playing instructions may find that this is not its central focus.
