Enertainment, Heroes and Villains explores humble
Burnley FC’s rise to the glamour of the Premiership
and then its immediate relegation to the Championship. The book, written by Dave Thomas, a
lifelong Burnley supporter, examines the actions of the three managers directly responsible for
steering the club into glory and back again. First there was grafter Steve Cotterill who signed
the majority of the premiership Burnley team, despite limited finances. Next came infamous
Owen Coyle who went from Messiah to Judas—in the eyes of Burnley fans—in the process of
bringing premiership football and financial salvation to the club. Finally came Brian Laws who
was handed an impossible job and unable to avoid relegation to the Championship. This
uniquely detailed book makes sense of the events at Burnley during the three managers’ reign
and, using in-depth interviews and other archive material, reveals the pressures and intricacies
of top flight football. Written from the perspective of a true football fan, this fascinating rollercoaster
ride up and down the football leagues will be a familiar one for many supporters and is
an enthralling read whatever team you support.
