James Montague - Milliárdosok klubja - Hogyan hódították meg és uralják a szupergazdag klubtulajdonosok a világ labdarúgását?

"Football book of the year!" - The Telegraph. Who are the new princes of the football world? Where did they get their money? And what do they want to do with our beloved game?

At one time, football was controlled by local businessmen. Today, however, soccer is the plaything of billionaire oligarchs who have amassed incredible fortunes through oil and natural gas trading, perhaps thanks to their royal lineage or with the help of dubious methods. Although the billionaire owners are surrounded by mystery, they are still forced to go public because of the purchase of football clubs: this is their Achilles heel, this allows us, earthly mortals, to peek behind the scenes hidden from journalists and outsiders.
In The Billionaires' Club, the author James Montague investigates these details more thoroughly than ever before, tirelessly traveling around the world - from Dhaka to Doha, from China to Crewe, from St. Louis to London, from Bangkok to Belgium - to show us this new elite layer, whose network, its wealth and influence penetrates any geographical and national boundaries. The Billionaires Club is as much a thrilling story of football club owners as it is an in-depth study of the world's top club teams and the financial and influence networks that connect the super-rich around the world.
But it's actually about more than that: the world around us, the global economy, and how football has become an indispensable cog in this system.
