Review
"Alex Fynn is a football guru, and I'm always interested to hear what he has to say." Arsene Wenger "A shrewd and well-informed book about the challenges and terrors of a club still in the throes of transformation." Kevin McCarra, The Guardian "A fascinating new book." The Observer "This book should definitely be read by all Arsenal fans; it is a clear and concisely explained journey that sits comfortably alongside the best books about the club." A Cultured Left Foot --Vision Sports Publishing
Product Description

Based on unprecedented access granted to the authors, including exclusive interviews with Arsene Wenger and key board members, current and former players, Arsenal looks in detail at the club's transformation into a global superpower under the stewardship of their French manager right up to the end of the 2010/11 season.

Format:Paperback
This book gives an insight into how Arsenal FC has grown from being despised (outside Arsenal fans) under George Graham to a team loved by many across the world. If like me you are an Arsenal fan who grew up in North London then you will be brassed off with with people still going on about how great the Spurs teams of 51 and 61 were - 50 years from now people will be talking about Wenger's Arsenal teams in even more glowing terms and this book explains how.
The co-author system means that the insight is both off the field from a business perspective (Alex Fynn former Director of Saatchi's and behind the Premier League) and also from the fan perspective (Kevin Whitcher - editor of The Gooner fanzine). There is therefore a mix of perspectives and you hear what happened with inside quotes and access. There is stuff in there for fans of other teams too as it has a broader perspective. If you want to know how a football club has transformed itself, basically thanks to the (successful) autocracy of one man, then you should read this book.

I found this book to be a compeling read, and a very candid reflection of the club. The insights come from behind the scenes and are treated very objectively. As well as true insights into the recent boardroom politics going on at Arsenal, from a commercial perspective the book reflects the clubs magnificent transition to the Emirates stadium and the unfortunate disaster of the Highbury square development.
Arsenal fans are shown once more just how lucky they are to have the brilliant Arsene Wenger at the helm, and how the man is a martyr for his club and his philosophies. The club as a sum of its parts is clearly larger on the pitch, and smaller off of it.
Ultimately, for those who are serious supporters of Arsenal, football or interested in the business of sport in general this book is a must read!

Any book as good as this would not be anything like as enjoyable if it were as Amazon suggest only
150 pages.THIS EXCITING,INFORMATIVE,and ENTERTAINING BOOK is 300 PAGES of great paperback read.
I agree with another reviewer, more from Mr Fynn on the birth of the Premier League from one who was there at it's conception would surely make yet another great read from this knowledgeable author.
