Unexpectedly, I learned a lot from it.
Arsènal :The Making of a Modern Superclub will take you less time to read than your next 200 blogs and will tell you 100 times more.
It\’s a very informative, detailed and well-structured story that’s especially good on the stadium move, the commercials deals, the Champions League TV money splits, the share sales to Kroenke and Usmanov, the tensions between Ivan and Arsene, and the self-defeating stubbornness of the manager, as well as the historical background since 1983, when David Dein joined a club that had stagnated when it was run by cautious Ken Friar. As you know, Dein\’s ambitions put him at odds with Friar.
In short, Arsènal is the essential book about how the business of Arsenal has evolved towards this intriguing moment.
Since Alex Fynn and Arsene Wenger are friends and neighbours, the book pulls a few punches in its forthright final chapter, but not many. If you read between the lines, you’ll know exactly what the authors are saying.
