Fogg, wet and windy

HarperSport has acquired UK and Commonwealth rights, excluding Canada, to A Wet and Windy Night at Stoke by Michael Cox after a “hotly contested” eight-way auction.

Jack Fogg, publishing director, bought the book from Chris Wellbelove at Greene & Heaton.

Due for publication in June 2017, it is a “hugely entertaining and vivid” study of the tactical evolution of the Premier League in its 25 seasons.
