Sport business

Sport business in this section means the paperwork: shirt sponsorship, stadium naming rights, club accounts and the way a city bids for a major event. Each piece follows the money through one document type rather than quoting a headline figure. The 2008–09 press archive of the Manchester World Sport programme runs alongside, releases and partner records intact.
