Author, The World’s Biggest Cash Machine: Manchester United, the Glazers, and the Struggle for Football’s Soul
This week, Ira spoke with Chris Blackhurst, author of The World’s Biggest Cash Machine: Manchester United, the Glazers, and the Struggle for Football’s Soul. In this kicking episode of “Ira’s Everything Bagel,” Chris Blackhurst talks about why football (soccer) is so important in Great Britain; how Malcolm Glazer played the long game and ended up owning Manchester United; Glazer’s determination to succeed; the reaction of the Manchester United fans who realized there was not a personal connection with the new owners; the record levels of debt after the purchase; why the fans want love for the club and to be able to buy the best players; the playing side and the commercial side of the team; how “tribal” sports writing is; and how he discovered that many Manchester United fans enjoy his book for the insight.
