Ralph Ineson, the most well-known of modern British Leeds’ fans, does an excellent job of narrating. The behind-the-scenes story of the Marcelo Bielsa revolution at Leeds United and their first season back in the Premier League after sixteen years of hurt. This book has been completely revised, expanded and updated for a modern audience tackling issues and problems that did not exist when J. THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER The behind-the-scenes story of the Marcelo Bielsa revolution at Leeds United and their first season back in the Premier League after sixteen years of hurt.

With his unique tactical approach, strict diet and body fat controls and a gruelling training schedule - including his infamous 'murderball' sessions - Bielsa has shaped a gang of Championship misfits and journeymen into a team that plays breathtakingly relentless attacking football and is more than capable of going toe-to-toe with the game's established heavyweights. 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. In between a review of last season, Leeds first in the Premiership for 16 years, it looks at Bielsa's coaching methods, his tactical analysis and the previous years of hurt for Leeds in general - floating around the football leagues. Phil pulls back the curtain on Bielsa’s innovative tactical methods, his unconventional yet highly productive relationship with owner Andrea Radrizzani and Director of Football Victor Orta, his intensely loyal backroom team and the extraordinary cultural impact Bielsa has had on the city of Leeds - from murals and songs to cult fanbases in the provinces of Argentina.The one thing I will say is there wasn't much in here that I wasn't already aware of, but that is a minor point and I'd rather it that way around than things included which are not verified, which I know Phil Hay would never do anyway. This is a must-read for any Leeds fan, but equally, there's enough here to keep any football fan entertained. As a long-suffering Leeds fan, this account of how Marcelo Bielsa turned the club's fortunes around and brought them back to the Premier League was always going to get full marks from me!
