Product Description
Product Description
Manchester City were taken over twice in the space of 18 months by overseas investors. The first by former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. The second, by Sheikh Mansour, transformed the Club and allowed it to challenge the game's elite. This book, written by established and renowned Mancunian author Gary James, tells the inside story of City's transformation. With exclusive interviews with some of the key players behind the development of the Club, Gary's book delves into the stories that have unsettled many of the game's leading figures while also getting to grips with the reasons why one of the World's rchest men chose to invest in Manchester's Blues. This is a fascinating tale taking the Blues from midtable obscurity, with little hope of success, to one that has won major honours for the first time since the 1970s.
About the Author
Gary James has been researching and writing about Manchester football since the mid-1980s. He has written several landmark publications and a variety of articles on the region's games, clubs and personalities. In recent years these articles have appeared in publications as diverse as The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, The Times, The Author, When Saturday Comes, and the programmes of Manchester City. Gary cares deeply about the history of football. "Gary James is well known to Manchester football fans for his extensive writing and media work on the local game. His latest work is a highly ambitious undertaking that seeks to provide a history of Football League and leading non-League sides in the Manchester region."
