How the English Premier League Became the Wildest, Richest, Most Disruptive Force in Sports

Book • 2018

Joshua Robinson

This book is a sports and business tale of how money, ambition, and twenty-five years of drama transformed the English Premier League into a twenty-first-century entertainment empire.

It details how the league's transformation was driven by a motley cast of billionaires and hucksters, and how it now attracts global investment and attention.

The narrative is deeply researched, drawing on one hundred exclusive interviews with key decision makers at every major English team, and offers a unique insight into the league's history, its financial evolution, and its global reach.
