Produktbeschreibung
Football for Sale is an unflinching and unapologetic exposé that pulls back the curtain on the greed, corruption, and exploitation poisoning the world's most beloved sport. From illegal transfers and match-fixing to the systemic abuse of young talent, this book uncovers the dark underbelly of a game that has sold its soul. Through meticulous investigations across four continents and 12 countries, the authors-a seasoned writer and football intermediary, and a professional player-reveal a global web of deceit. They expose shocking stories of players manipulated by fraudulent agents, clubs used as fronts for money laundering, and a culture that prioritises profit over people. Racism, bullying, political influence, and exploitation are not isolated incidents but symptoms of a deeper, systemic rot. This is not just a book about football. It's a stark warning about the human cost of a sport in crisis. It's a call to action for administrators, players, fans, and families to demand transparency, accountability, and reform. With candid interviews, first-hand accounts, and hard-hitting insights, Football for Sale dismantles the sanitised façade of modern football. It gives a voice to those silenced by fear and shame, and shines a light on the urgent need for change. This book also serves as a vital guide for young, aspiring footballers and their families, offering crucial insights and warnings to navigate the pitfalls of a system rigged against them.
