'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 un?ltered 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 is a former top-level football player whose playing days included spells in the colours of Norwich City, Blackburn Rovers, Chelsea, Celtic, Birmingham City and Aston Villa. His career highlights include winning five league titles, three Scottish Cups and the Premier League's Golden Boot. He has played in the UEFA Cup Final, as well as representing his country at an international level. Since retiring from football, Chris has become the nation's most tell-it-like-it-is pundit. Not only is he a columnist for the Daily Mail and the Daily Record, but he is a senior co-commentator at BBC Radio 5 Live and a regular panellist on the Mark Chapman-hosted Monday Night Club.In fact, Sutton is rarely off air, lending those forthright opinions to BT Sport's football coverage, as well as Radio 5 Live's Fantasy Football podcast. He is also one-half of the duo behind the station's flagship Saturday-evening football phone-in, 606.
