****
*Four Four Two*
Talking to 30 top football managers about their careers was always
going to unearth a trove of interesting material, and in that
respect this book does not disappoint. By far its strongest point
is those managers’ first-person recollections and observations
*Independent*
A book that aims to dig deeper, including “behind-the-scenes”
interviews with more than 30 managers, must be welcomed ... Carson
does well to avoid the kinds of clichés that blight so many other
books on football
*Financial Times*
Mike Carson takes a different approach in his compelling
examination of 30 managers, treating his subjects as savvy
businessmen as much as sports gurus ... It’s impossible to
interview such people and not come away with some peerless
insights
*Observer*
