Richer Than God is an authoritative, emotional, provocative account of Manchester City s takeover by Sheikh Mansour, culminating in their remarkable last minute Premier League title victory in May 2012. By placing the club s extraordinary current rise in the wider context of its patchy modern history, this is also the story of English football s transformation - from the battlegrounds of the 1980s to today s moneyed, seated, global entertainment. Conn is led to question the very nature of football clubs and being a supporter, the underlying values and running of what used to be called the people s game . A labour of love, this powerfully told account of Manchester City s fall and rise, based on meticulous research over many years, and exclusive access and interviews with key figures, is written in the gripping, revelatory style Conn has made his trademark.
