Our Game, Our Clubs

This book will be available December 2024

About the Book: 

With the pandemic casting a shadow over the financial stability of football clubs, potential fan buyouts are emerging as a saving grace for many clubs. In this captivating narrative, Paul Goodwin, co-founder of the Scottish Football Supporters Association (SFSA), emerges as Scotland’s go-to expert on the acquisition and management of football clubs.

This book is a treasure trove of riveting stories, invaluable knowledge and keen insights, making it an engaging read for football supporters and prospective club owners alike. Goodwin delves into the dynamic history of club ownership, drawing parallels from global examples as well as telling why those in power in Scotland tried to stop the fans movement in its tracks.

As Scottish football undergoes a rapid transformation in ownership structures, this book provides a compelling glimpse into its future.

Reviews: 

Pie in the sky? A pipe dream? A crazy idea that will never get off the ground? Paul Goodwin has heard it all before in the past 13 years. And just look at how dramatically the landscape of Scottish football has changed. MATTHEW LINDSAY, The Herald
