One of the benefits of supping with the devil and buying The Daily Mail for the past week or so, aside from building a nice cheap Ealing Comedy DVD collection, has been to read the extracts of the new Andrew Jennings book.
\nAs sure as night turns to day, a new international tournament – in this instance the “Fifa World Cup” – brings a new Andrew Jennings book. And long may he continue.
\nThis time around, it’s “Foul!: How Soccer’s Leaders Ruined the Game”. Fifa is, needless to say, irritated<\/a> by this book.<\/p>\n

As the book contains a number of false and libellous claims, FIFA applied for an injunction on the publication and distribution of the book as a precaution several months ago. The Zurich cantonal high court complied with this request by passing a provisional ruling on 26 April 2006.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Huh? How can you claim an injunction on the publication and distribution of book before it’s been published “several months ago”?
\nIncidentally, I’m sure it’s just an oversight, but I don’t seem to be able to find this book listed anywhere on Amazon. Normally, even if you couldn’t find it listed as in stock on the main Amazon site, one of the Marketplace dealers would have had it listed pretty pronto, and it’d show up when searching. Very strange. It’s published by Harper Collins so there’s no excuse about a small publisher not getting their act together (actually, any small publisher is very likely to make absolutely sure that Amazon lists their title, but that’s another discussion).
\nThis is a book being serialised in one of the largest national daily papers at the moment, and yet I can’t see it on Amazon. Hmm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
