'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.

'Brilliant . . . [a] very insightful account' – Simon Jordan, talkSPORT presenter and author of Be Careful What You Wish For

Chris Blackhurst is an award-winning business writer and commentator. He is former editor of the Independent and for ten years was City editor of the Evening Standard. Before that he worked for The Sunday Times on its Insight investigative team. Throughout his career he has written widely on the business of sport, and his journalism has appeared in many of the world’s major publications. He is the author of Too Big to Jail and The World's Biggest Cash Machine.
