Product Description

FootBubble The Premiership Football Crash of 2010 . This book investigates the worst possible outcome of a FootBubble imploding - a Premiership football crash in the year 2010,with many potential, yet avoidable, opportunities between now and 2010 for football to self-destruct- in the hope that enough common sense prevails to ensure the doomsday scenario is avoided. The assumed wisdom is that FA Premierships future is of unlimited cash generation. That assumption is built on a number of factors: *The FA Premiership League will remain the world s most exciting . *Fans will continue to pay increasing ticket prices. *New stadia will increase match day attendances. *Players wages will not inflate dangerously. *Regulatory bodies will not instigate anti market rules. *Football will always be attractive to business for sponsorship and corporate entertainment. *All the new incoming Club owners are fit and responsible people. *TV money will never reduce. *Football is recession proof. FootBubble is the season, which historians will regard as the blackest in football history; attendances below the black days of the 1980 s, England failing to qualify for tournaments and established Premiership teams going into administration and even ceasing to exist. The book concludes with the potential aftershocks for the top tier of English football after the FootBubble has popped. Will your team survive FootBubble?

About the Author
About the Author Martin Westby is a full time writer who has written regular articles for newspapers and magazines, produced a book about Croatia and edits a monthly magazine. He runs a website dedicated to the vintage football magazine, Charles Buchans Football Monthly . The magazine ran from 1951 till 1974 and at its peak it boasted a circulation of 130,000 per month. A lifelong football fan of his home team and England, he attends as many matches as his workload and wallet allows. He is more a practicing cynic than a practicing psychic so his predictions should be viewed as metaphors rather than as specific outcomes. If this book does turn out to be completely accurate he will quit his writing career to concentrate on stock market speculation! When asked if he had to choose between his team winning the FA Cup or spending two seasons in the Premiership, he chose the Premiership option but if the season in the Premiership were only to last one season prior to a messy relegation, he would rather have the FA Cup win. Clearly at heart Martin is a football traditionalist but has a price at which he can be bought!

A must read for all footie fans
As a lifelong supporter of one of the so called 'Big 4' teams, I found this an incredibly insightful and thought provoking read. The bubble may not quite burst by 2010 but it's coming and rightly so!
