The plot covers all aspects of the life of a football club from corruption, professional sleaze, personal sleaze, cover-ups and more but there are some excellent moments of humour. Many of these aspects are still very much with us now. With Cheri Lunghi the first woman in Britain to ever become manager of a professional football team. Supporting performances from Warren Clarke as the wheeler-dealer chairman of the club and Tom Georgeson as the coach denied his shot at big-time management by the arrival of the unprecedented newcomer.
