In eight short years English football was completely transformed. In 1989, with clubs already banned from Europe, the Hillsborough disaster tragically exposed football`s crumbling groups, self-serving administ-ration and callous neglect of iys followers. Football was in disgrace. Who could imagine that now? Today, cleaned up and sitting down, fotball is the sport of the 90s, much hyped ny the newly adoring media. But football is more than a game in recovery. It is now big business. Since the Taylor report forced English clubs to spend 600 million rebuilding their grounds and since Sky and the BBCp put 1 billion into the game, serious businessmen have arrived in football and have mostly been welcomed because of the money they were investing into the long-term health of the game.
