Review
"[This book] is solid scholarship, providing extensive documentation, a wonderful reference list, and is profusely illustrated with graphs and charts.... The style is lively and informative.... I highly recommend it to those sports economists studying the European scene, or for those looking for a technically proficient jump-off for their own analysis of NA or European sports team data." Review of Industrial Organization

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Economics of Football (Hardcover)
I just got the newer version in the mail today. It is about 8 years more recent. Similar material and price but the newer version seems to have broken up some of the chapters into smaller pieces.
