"If you want some accessible but informative insight into football then I suggest you couldn't do better than the Political Economy of Football website, which is not only intelligible but comes with the added bonus of being written by Addicks fan Wyn Grant."

Glazers hit back at Red Knights

Share/Save

City figures supporting the Red Knights who are preparing a bid for Manchester United are discovering that it may not be a free ride.   The Glazer family are considering ending their relationship with Goldman Sachs.   The company's chief economist, Jim O'Neill (who is said to have invented the term 'Bric economics'), is a key member of the Red Knights group.   The bank has argued that Mr O'Neill's views are personal ones, but this has not satisfied the Glazers.
