书籍简介

英国《独立报》前编辑克里斯-布莱克赫斯特（Chris Blackhurst）撰写的《世界上的大提款机》（The World's Big Cash Machine）一书，以扣人心弦的紧凑报道，讲述了曼联队的老板格雷泽家族如何成为英超联赛中的恶棍，以及他们如何永远地改变了这项美丽的赛事。

曼联队的支持者遍布全球，跨越世代。但是，除了极少数例外，他们对这个美国家族的愤怒是一致的，这个家族在 2005 年收购了他们的俱乐部，使其陷入了创纪录的债务水平。格雷泽家族的统治已成为足球金融化的代名词，同时也伴随着球迷的抗议和曼联在球场上的衰落......如果不是在资产负债表上的话。

但这个神秘家族的定义是什么，这些精明的商人是否应该受到指责？在这篇引人入胜的报道中，记者兼评论员克里斯-布莱克赫斯特（Chris Blackhurst）通过对幕后关键人物的采访，描绘了这个世界上大的足球俱乐部扣人心弦的故事，同时也探讨了英超联赛在更大范围内转变为亿万富翁老板的游乐场的过程。

From Chris Blackhurst, the former Editor of the Independent, comes The World's Big Cash Machine, a gripping and tightly reported account of how the Glazers, owners of Manchester United, became the maligned figures in the Premier League, and how they changed the beautiful game forever.

Manchester United’s supporters span the globe and cross generations. But, with few exceptions, they are united in their anger with the American family who bought their club in 2005, plunging it into record levels of debt. The Glazers’ reign has become synonymous with the financialization of football, and has coincided with fan protests and a decline of Manchester United’s fortunes on the pitch . . . if not on the balance sheet.

But what defines this secretive family, and do these astute businessmen deserve the opprobrium they receive? In this captivating account, informed by interviews with key figures behind the scenes, journalist and commentator Chris Blackhurst charts the gripping story of the world’s big football club – as well as exploring the wider transformation of the Premier League into a playground for billionaire owners.
