THE “business” of football was the theme of a talk by Des McBain, Bolton Wanderers’ chief executive back in 1992.

Mr McBain was guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Bolton, Bury and District branch of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants in the Executive Suite at Burnden Park.

He talked about the escalation of transfer fees among other things.
