Sport Inc : the money is the winner in the business of sport
Warner, Ed2018
Books
Behind every victory lap, every goal celebration, every triumph against the odds and every dropped relay baton is a story of money. Tears of joy or despair could be as much about the financial win or loss as the result itself. In sport, money is now everything. Ed Warner, former chair of UK Athletics and City financier, lifts the lid on the behind the scenes finances that drive sport. From the athlete searching for sponsorship on eBay to the drinks brand manager whose decision could make or break an entire sport, from the sprinter considering doping to the football agent with massive clubs in his pocket, 'Sport Inc.' reveals who gets rich and who gets left on the bench.
