Synopsis
Behind the glamour of the Premier League are the men who make it happen. Eddie Ashby was one of those men. At Terry Venables' side during his dramatic takeover of Tottenham Hotspu, he was privy to the most secret negotiations that occured. But this is more than the story of that one historic deal. It is a behind-the-scences look at the bribes and financial swindles that the average fans know nothing about - crooked deals involving the country's richest men, wads of 50 pound notes changing hands in motorway service stations. It even reveals the involvement of a top poltician at the heart of these shady football deals. This book blows the lid off the shenanigans that go on behind the facade of the Premier League.
