He has recently released a book called Richer Than God (Manchester City, Modern Football & Growing Up) which is the story of how City became the richest club in the world, what it means to the club and it's fans, and also it's implications on the rest of world football.

I am in touch with his publisher and have asked that David comes on here to do a Q & A session. I think it would be very interesting to hear his views as a City fan but also as a journalist who has researched this topic in great detail.
I will let you know if/when the Q & A session will take place.
Lee, were you asked to review it as a site manager?
Yes mate. He got in touch with me via another website and asked if I would review it if he sent me a copy so I said I would.
I asked if he would do a Q&A session on here as it is far busier than the other site and he said he would ask David and get back to me.
Cheers bud. From the online reviews it actually looks a decent read but from personal reviews off friends it sounds as if it is has been cobbled together hurredly due to our success. I understand that it's all about timing but if you're going to do something like this, it's got to be done right; not just to make a few bob.
I look forward to the Q&A though, it may iron out a few things.
