On the Brink

In the winter of 2016 Simon Hughes began a journey through English football's most successful region, meeting the players, the managers, the chairmen and owners that shape the mood of a changing time. From the Premier League to grassroots, in On the Brink, Hughes examines how the landscape of the game across the north west is shifting: how geography explains the way things are; how industry defines identity; how money threatens existence -- and what Brexit might mean for the future.

In iarna anului 2016, Simon Hughes a inceput o calatorie prin cea mai de succes regiune a fotbalului englez, intalnindu-se cu jucatorii, managerii, presedintii si proprietarii care modeleaza starea de spirit a unei perioade in schimbare. De la Premier League la baza, in On the Brink, Hughes examineaza modul in care peisajul jocului din nord-vest se schimba: modul in care geografia explica modul in care sunt lucrurile; modul in care industria defineste identitatea; modul in care banii ameninta existenta - si ce ar putea insemna Brexit pentru viitor.
