Throne of Games

More about the book

As the reign of ill-fated football manager David Moyes comes to an abrupt end, how do you sum up one of the most disastrous seasons ever for Manchester United fans? By telling the story of one year in soccer through a hilarious Game of Thrones pastiche of course. This is a hilarious look at world soccer brand Manchester United’s worst season in living memory, refracted through the lens of Game of Thrones . Old king Fergie, famous for his many victories on the battlefield and favorite torture weapon, the "hairdryer," is finally stepping down from the throne, a.k.a the iron dugout. Lord Moyes of Evertonia is his chosen heir, but has he inherited the army of fabled supermen or a clapped out band of has-beens and cripples? Will he master the black arts known as "mind games" that Fergie was such a master of? In the face of treachery and incompetence, will he survive the Throne of Games, or will he, like many others before him, lose his head?
