Time's Ran Out

He’s the owner of Newcastle United.
Been their 10 years and is possibly the most disliked owner of any football club in the English Premier League.
A billionaire who buys businesses, strips them of all dignity and assets and bullies those associated into thinking he is helping them.
A real cockney bastard! ( ie born out of wedlock).

One Day

British standards 12 years ago, when I first started were useful reading.
12 years later, I think they're very outdated and impractical in places.
If the writers really engaged with the industry's leading fixers instead of dictating their own take on best practise, it'd be far more relevant...

Still, if you can, read it and absorb it.
