This book written back in 2007 tried to predict the problems of having too much money in the Premier League and what might happen in the future. The book was accurate in forecasting a crash in September 2008 and also a Premier team going into administration in 2010 (Portsmouth).
One incorrect prediction was that SKY would struggle to sell TV subscriptions in a full on recession and that they would reconsider their funding for football. This didn't happen by the date suggested but with exciting websites like
"www.livefootball.net" where you can watch any football match for £7.95 a year then SKY's business model may become more difficult.
One thing is clear after FIFA's decision to award the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Quatar respectively, is that money continues to play an enormous role in the world of football and it is eating away at the soul of the game we all love.
The book concludes with the potential aftershocks for the top tier of English football after the FootBubble has popped.
Will your team survive FootBubble?
