Some startling revelations such as Ashley Barnes not being signed because Luke Varney who was already at Leeds was rated on Football Manager or Massimo Cellino dismissing the catering staff and leaving nobody to replace the milk in the fridge at the training ground. I wasn’t sure that his very deep voice would be suited, but as a fellow fan he just slipped into it.

FEATURING FRESH PERSONAL INSIGHT FROM MARCELO BIELSAOn 27th February 2022, after 170 matches in charge, promotion to the Premier League and some of the most exhilarating football the English game has ever seen, Leeds United parted company with their most beloved and successful manager in a generation: Marcelo Bielsa. The chapters interweave details of each month of the 20-21 Premier League campaign with the stories of the past, exploring what went wrong (everything) and how Bielsa brought the joy back. Written with alternate chapters, some focusing on Leeds United's first season back in the Premier League, the others focusing on the many ups and downs experienced by the club and its long suffering fans over the preceding years, it makes for a very interesting read and a must for any football fan.

Leeds fans know the mediocrity of the ownership of Ken Bates which dropped them down to League One, then years of mid-table mediocrity under GFH then Massimo Cellino. In guiding Leeds back to the promised land of the Premier League, he has transformed the club into a vastly more dynamic, entertaining and professional outfit, fully endearing himself to the Leeds faithful and capturing the imaginations of football fans around the world.

FEATURING FRESH PERSONAL INSIGHT FROM MARCELO BIELSA When Marcelo Bielsa was appointed head coach of Leeds United in the summer of 2018, the club had just finished 13th in the Championship - their 15th consecutive season outside the top flight - and were defined as much by their excesses and disasters off the pitch as their lack of success on it. Bielsa performed miracles, turning football into high art and making an extraordinary cultural impact on the city of Leeds. Marcelo isn't just a standard manager, his ideas seem quite extreme which leads to his short stays at various clubs. Phil pulls back the curtain on the hallmarks that now define the Marcelo Bielsa era, from his gruelling training schedule—including his infamous 'murderball' sessions—to innovative tactical methods that elevated Championship regulars into Premier League stars.
