"The conclusion of this reviewer is unambiguous: Kornbeck and his authors have provided a remarkable collection of essays on the regulatory challenges and legacies which Brexit presents to the sport sector. The profound and stylistically attractive contributions, which are equally attractive to and accessible for a non-Anglophone readership, offer a tantalising palette of themes, the diversity of which cannot possibly be gauged from the title of the book! Once you have started browsing for fun, you simply won't put this book down again, and it will surely become a compass for answering numerous questions related to post-Brexit challenges. In my mind, there can be no doubt that it will be quoted in scholarship related to sports and sports law. It deserves to be!" – Jan F.
