A different type of book - By: Rich, 05 Oct 2008
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 & the motives behind such events from both sides of the fence.
This is a revealing & honest look at the Sam H years at Ninian Park & 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 - By: D. Harries, 21 Sep 2008
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 - By: Peter, 07 Aug 2008
For anyone with even a remote interestin Cardiff City football club, Sam Hammam, or even the machinations of club-level football politicsin 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 & well-written. I don't mean well-writtenin the purist sense - a masterpiecein English literature it certainly ain't. But that's the point - it is a book written by fansin 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 mentionedin my introduction (I'll pass it on to one & 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 & 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 - By: Joff Lee, 28 Jul 2008
I fantastic read about issues that go on within a professional football clubin the U.K.

A must for any sports fan, as the contents cover a wide range of topics.
geokillie - By: geokillie, 19 Jul 2008
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 orin my case kilmarnock fc
anybody who reads this book will nodin agreement to the same problems your own club has went through.
