Rupert Campbell-Black, undefeated racehorse owner and handsomest man in the world, is in the darkest of places. His adored wife Taggie is about to undergo chemotherapy, his beloved horse Love Rat has died, and now his daughter Bianca wants him to buy a languishing local football club so she can return to Rutshire with her star player husband. Rupert's first impressions of Searston Rovers are distinctly unfavourable. As the new owner, he won't stand for anything less than victory in the Premier League, despite the odds being stacked against him. With help from the club's adorable secretary - and rather less from the furious manager - Rupert sets out to mastermind Searston's rise to the top. But the rival football club and their corrupt dealings aren't going to make it easy for him - and they have a history of foul play. Let the sabotage and scandal begin...
