  Only now has Ron Manager decided the time is right to publish, because only now has he found a publisher with big enough brown envelopes. In this autobiography Ron Manager, the comic creation of Paul Whitehouse, lays down the law as only he can: what sort of sheepskin coats should a manager wear? Phrases you should never be caught using, and how he saved Fergie's career and later persuaded the Queen to knight him. Manager's role in modern football is quite unique, only now can his real influence be revealed.

  As illuminating as the Book of Revelations, as musty as the Dead Sea Scrolls, yet as racy as a Jilly Cooper novel, Marvellous, Isn't It? is the definitive football memoir from the definitive football man. Packed with hindsight, untouched by insight, Ron opens a right old can of soccer worms. From his days as a preciously talented wing half with a cultured left foot, through the years spent thrashing about furiously in the managerial melting pot, to the heady day he was named the Pundit's Pundit, the biography is nothing less than the bible of the beautiful game. This is the book Fergie wishes he could have written.
