Synopsis

***

'A manifesto to cure modern football's cornucopia of ills.' - i paper

'A brilliant book.' - Ian Wright

With diving players, abusive fans, feckless agents and the dreaded VAR, football has taken a wrong turn. Now, Chris Sutton, the nation's most forthright football pundit, takes an unfiltered look at 25 aspects of the modern game that need to be changed right away - and offers practical and, at times, controversial solutions.

From the standard of referees to the lunacy of the managerial merry-go-round, from shameful racist abuse to exploitative ticket prices and the shocking treatments of ex-players with dementia, How to Fix Modern Football leaves no stone unturned in.

As a former top-level player, Chris knows the game inside out. Now observing from the commentator's perch, his perspective is shot through with passion, humour and occasionally a little anger.

Sutton is a man on a mission, determined to get under the skin of the game he loves and to call out exactly what's going wrong.

Chris Sutton, who had his great moments with Blackburn and Celtic, have gone on to write a masterpiece manifesto on how to fix modern football. Direct, frank and no-nonsense.

Goodreads review by Alan on July 15, 2021

I enjoyed this entertaining look at what is wrong with the modern game. One contradiction in my view is that as the English Premier League therefore, anyone still able to play at this level should not go to China for the money. The reason why the Premier League is the most entertaining because it at......more
