Football has an integrity problem.
Whether it is the reckless behaviour of players on or off the pitch, television commentators bad-mouthing decisions during the game, or corrupt governance of the sport, football has a tarnished reputation. Big money means big public interest and an even bigger responsibility to make it a sport that is inclusive, professional and, at the very least, law-abiding. Dan Hough puts the game under scrutiny to find out why football has become the benchmark for bad behaviour in sport. He examines the role of players, governing bodies, managers and owners, referees, pundits and fans to show how they have all contributed to the game's failings and how all have a part to play in improving its integrity. Football matters and because it matters it needs fixing.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Agenda PublishingISBN-13:9781788217637ISBN-10:1788217632UPC:9781788217637Book Category:Sports & Recreation, LawBook Subcategory:Soccer, Sports, Business AspectsSize:8.40 x 5.30 x 0.50 inchesWeight:0.4497Product ID:SCZJH9ZWFY
