Indeed. You have to laugh at this bit:

After five months it became apparent this wasn't going to happen [the money Munto had promised from the Middle East] and the trio disappeared. They changed their phone numbers and didn't respond to letters and emails. At this point Trembling and Eriksson realised there were serious problems at the club.

FFS!

I also liked the bit :

"I always said we shouldn't sign the big names until we had money in the bank," Trembling insists.

Doh!!!

They did, mate. Your life savings, if your account is to be believed.

I like the bit where it says that one third of their annual revenue goes to the wages of their goalkeeper.
