The World's Biggest Cash Machine
Author: Chris Blackhurst
Format: Paperback
'Jaw-dropping' – Daily Mail 'A gripping tale, full of insight. Blackhurst is an enormously talented writer' – City A.M. Manchester United is more than just a football team; it's an institution.
But, when the Glazer family took charge in 2005, they immediately plunged it into record levels of debt. Their reign has coincided with fan protests and a decline in Manchester United’s fortunes on the pitch . . . if not on the balance sheet.
Informed by interviews with key behind-the-scenes figures, The World’s Biggest Cash Machine sees award-winning reporter Chris Blackhurst chart the history of Manchester United – from its start as a community-driven club to the sale of a minority stake to British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe – as the Premier League turns into a playground for billionaire owners. 'Brilliant . . . [a] very insightful account' – Simon Jordan, talkSPORT presenter and author of Be Careful What You Wish For
