⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'O'Neill can talk the talk as he's walked the walk.'

What sets the management style of Brian Clough apart? How did Alex Ferguson stay in post so long? Why was Mourinho such a Special One? In a career spanning five decades, Martin O'Neill has seen it all.

In The Changing Game he provides his unique perspective on the events, managers and teams that define football. Bringing his sharp instincts and intellect to look at his own tenures as a manager for Nottingham Forest, Leicester City, Celtic and the Republic of Ireland, as well as many others, fans will enjoy the first-hand anecdotes of how to prepare for and play against the titans of the game. Martin explores every aspect of contemporary football at the highest levels, including speaking truth to the powers-that-be, how teams deal with injuries, foreign influences on the British game, the changing roles of managers, coaches and agents and the effect of social media and wage structures on players.

Charting the evolution of the top levels of professional football from the beginning of O'Neill's career in 1971 all the way to the present day, you'll enjoy O'Neill's unvarnished take on the inside story of the changing game.

I usually enjoy football related books, but I’m not sure what this book is meant to be as it rambles on a variety of different subjects without telling you anything .
