  What's gone wrong with English football? And what will it take to bring about the revolution the game so desperately needs? Against the background of England manager Graham Taylor's rollercoaster ride towards the 1994 World Cup final, the authors examine the catalogue of petty squabbles, empire building and sheer incompetence which have brought the national game to its knees. The book includes inside coverage of the failure of the Premier League, the award of the television contract to BSkyB, the widespread abuse of the transfer system, and the spurning of the Taylor Report's recommendations by so many clubs.
