“…Polanyi’s observation is hugely significant in this respect. As Stanfield and Stanfield (2006: 36) remark, any process of economic integration requires a corresponding social system, and a process of socialisation always institutes the economy. This is significant because it suggests that if there is the sufficient political and social will to recalibrate these measures in the first place, then the space opens up to socialise an alternative, more culturally-embedded political economy of English football.…”

While the popularity of English football increases worldwide, there has been a marked rise in the discontent expressed by a small but growing group of domestic fans. This dissent has led to the emergence of a movement broadly defined as being 'Against Modern Football' (AMF), a banner under which fans of rival clubs have gathered in an attempt to challenge the poor governance, commercialism and greed that has come to dominate the English game. This article offers a conceptualisation of what it means to be 'against modern football' based upon Karl Polanyi's analysis of the market society. Developing the dialectic of the 'double-movement' that appears in Polanyi's most famous work, The Great Transformation, this article demonstrates how these governing principles might be useful in explaining both the complex cultural political economy of English football and the possibilities that exist for the AMF movement to socially re-embed the modern game.

“…9 Note that Post Keynesians in general do not have a clear view of the state and class and while Kalecki had a class analysis, some later Kaleckians do not have it. For the Post Keynesian theory of the state, seePressman (2006b).10 Neither the contribution on the institutionalist perspectives on the state byWaller (2006) nor the 'Polanyian' article byStanfield and Stanfield (2006) inPressman's edited book (2006a) on the theories of the state noticed the importance of Elias for their field of research.…”
