When Sir Alex Ferguson commented post-match that Old Trafford signified little more than a morgue, many batted their eyelids in amusement. The poor atmosphere had nothing to do with a lack of excitement; more a sign of how modern football is slowly drifting away from the fans - an issue that continues to dominate the world of football, and the supporters that live within it. In his search to find the ‘lost soul of football' Matthew Bazell's "Theatre of Silence" is a book that captures the thoughts of football fans who are lost on the once beautiful game. In January this year, the book ‘Theatre of Silence - The Lost Soul of Football', authored by Matthew Bazell was released onto the shelves of bookshops across the country. One of the main subjects in the book is, believe it or not, the issue of quiet football crowds and hence the title. Therefore, it was a bit ironic that in the same week of the book's publication date, Alex Ferguson took a swipe at the atmosphere at Old Trafford, by comparing the ‘Theatre of Dreams' to a ‘funeral parlour'. Listen to our interview with Matthew for an overview of the book and everything that's wrong with the modern game.
