Leeds United: Trials and Tribulations

by Phil Rostron

Leeds United's freefall from championship contenders and Champions League semi-finalists in 2000 to relegation battlers in 2004 is one of the most spectacular stories in Premiership history. Theirs is a story of financial mismanagement on a grand scale, brought about by a naive belief that their living dream would go on forever. Against this background of financial uncertainty, Leeds United have had a roller coaster four years on and off the pitch. This book looks at what happened and why.

Reviews

[John MB · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting read that starts very strongly but slows badly turning more into a commentary of events rather than offering any unique insight. 3 stars due to the start, otherwise i would rate this lower.

[Richard Clarkson · Rating 3 out of 5]

written by a journalist so a readable account of the shocking fall of Leeds. OLeary and Ridsdale dont come across well
