What he uncovers is a world of offshore shell companies, opaque ownership structures, political compromises, and financial scandals that read more like a crime thriller than a sporting story.From the mysterious offshore accounts that bankrolled Chelsea under Roman Abramovic to the oil-state takeovers that turned clubs into geopolitical assets to the owners siphoning millions into their own companies while leaving historic clubs on the brink… Goldberg reveals a hidden system of financial engineering, greed, and corruption that threatens the very soul of the game.This is not just about football. It’s about democracy, accountability, and the ease with which vast sums of dark money flow through Britain’s most beloved institutions. And it lands at a pivotal moment, as calls grow louder for an Independent Football Regulator to finally hold these interests to account.Urgent, accessible, and deeply unsettling, Where’s The Money Gone is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how power and money really work in modern Britain.—The venue:The Volley is London's best place to enjoy football.
