The Business of Football - for iPod/iPhone

Is running a football club part of the entertainment business, a rich man’s hobby, a community asset or all three? And what difference does it make if you’re a club outside the Premiership? Here club chairmen, fans, players and other executives talk about the unusual nature of the football business, seen through the eyes of both a traditional club, Chesterfield and a newer one, MK Dons. We look at how a club is structured, its commercial activities and at aspects of work such as job satisfaction and building team spirit.
