'Jaw-dropping' – Daily Mail
'A gripping tale, full of insight. Blackhurst is an enormously talented writer' – City A.M.


Manchester United is more than just a football team; it's an institution. But, when the Glazer family took charge in 2005, they immediately plunged it into record levels of debt. Their reign has coincided with fan protests and a decline in Manchester United’s fortunes on the pitch . . . if not on the balance sheet.

Informed by interviews with key behind-the-scenes figures, The World’s Biggest Cash Machine sees award-winning reporter Chris Blackhurst chart the history of Manchester United – from its start as a community-driven club to the sale of a minority stake to British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe – as the Premier League turns into a playground for billionaire owners.

'Packed with insights and details that will both amaze and appal you . . . if it doesn't make you angry, you need to check your pulse' – Oliver Bullough, author of Butler to the World, on Too Big to Jail
