    About this ebook

    As a youth growing up in the Soccer Capital of the United States in the early 1980s, little did Krishnaiyer know that his stint as a ball boy for the Fort Lauderdale Strikers would start a long love affair with the beautiful game. As a ball boy, he was able to see world superstars Franz Beckenbauer and Giorgio Chinaglia, as well as players who had their roots with Manchester City, decades before the English club would become the richest soccer team in the world.

    In 'Blue With Envy: My American Journey With Manchester City,' Krishnaiyer uses Manchester City as an example to share his own personal story of how America's fascination with English Premier League soccer has grown by leaps and bounds year after year.

    No matter whether you're a fan of Manchester CIty, the Premier League or soccer in general, 'Blue With Envy' is a wonderful journey that any soccer fan will enjoy.

      How A Franchise Was Built

      Jan 7, 2021

      FOUNDING EDITOR One of baseball’s redeeming qualities is that it is trapped in a time warp. Basically, the fundamentals of the sport today are the same as they were 50 years ago. Even 100 years ago. That truism hardly applies, though, when the game i
