Front Office Fantasies

"Front Office Fantasies" by Branden Buehler offers an in-depth analysis of the role of Front Office Executives in modern sports. In an era where data and financial analysis increasingly shape decision-making in sports, Buehler examines how these managers, who once operated in the background, have become prominent figures in the media. Through the lens of popular media formats like "Moneyball" and "Football Manager," the book highlights the transformation of these managers into respected experts and idols. Buehler analyzes the impact of this development on fan perception and sports reporting, while critically questioning the cultural and societal changes that accompany this veneration of managers. The book is both informative and contemporary, providing valuable insights into the dynamics between sports, media, and society.
