Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com A different type of book | Customer Rating: | This is well worth a read by anyone who fears that their club is going down the pan. Forget any preconceptions about the club or the alledged activities of the author as the main thrust of this book is how a club can be run into the ground and the motives behind such events from both sides of the fence. This is a revealing and honest look at the Sam H years at Ninian Park and how so many people were drawn into a dream that almost became the ultimate nightmare for Cardiff supporters. I would recomend this book highly if only because it departs from the normal supporters tales. | An interesting read of my Football club | Customer Rating: | Well done to all who contributed to this effort,it gives an insight into how our club was being run by Sam.Thanks for letting us ordinary fans inside the rooms of Ninian Park. | Dreams | Customer Rating: | For anyone with even a remote interest in Cardiff City football club, Sam Hammam, or even the machinations of club-level football politics in general, this book is compulsory reading.
As a Cardiff City fan it came as no great surprise that the book was interesting. What did surprise me was that it is also entertaining. It is well-structured and well-written. I don't mean well-written in the purist sense - a masterpiece in English literature it certainly ain't. But that's the point - it is a book written by fans in the style of the contributor, which makes it all the more compelling as a story told straight from the heart.
As far as a wider audience is concerned, there may not be enough of interest here to attract those beyond the group mentioned in my introduction (I'll pass it on to one and get back to you!). I suspect it may come across as too parochial.
Also, for those that may have been put off by any perceived 'baggage' surrounding the book (hinted at by the headhunters tag and the ill-chosen cover) I suspect that reading the book may do more to confirm their misgivings than to allay them.
But, taking the book purely for what it is, I would consider this a very worthwhile project which certainly exceeded my expectations.
| Joff | Customer Rating: | I fantastic read about issues that go on within a professional football club in the U.K.
A must for any sports fan, as the contents cover a wide range of topics. | geokillie | Customer Rating: | great book for anyone whos club has had the same plight as cardiff,from the bitter boardroom who were quite happy to run down a proud club with tradition, to the white knight who promised so much the previous review states that its essential for any cardiff fans but to be honest its about every team outside the premiership or in my case kilmarnock fc anybody who reads this book will nod in agreement to the same problems your own club has went through. |
