The Stuart Maconie book "The Pie At Night" is now in the North West and is in Manchester via Rochdale which apparently is the most unsuccessful English football club of all time.
He's now at the Theatre of Dreams telling how the Glazers bought Manchester United with money they didn't have and transformed it from a very rich debt-free club into one where most of its outgoings are on debt interest and other fees, rather than players and wages. This is modern football, which has all to do with marketing and little to do with sport.
I am also reading "Carol" by Patricia Highsmith, a recommendation from my work LGBT+ book club, so I will have two on the go, and that is not a bad thing.
He is also an excellent writer and DJ and worth checking out in print or on the BBC.
I recently discovered that my American Amazon Author page has a feed from this blog which you can see here. It only shows on the .com site but not on others. C'est La Vie.
The music is "United" by Judas Priest
