Publisher's Synopsis
Marcelo Bielsa took Leeds United back to the Premier League in 2020 after an absence of 16 long years and enjoyed a successful first season back in the top flight of English football. His second season though proved to be more difficult and, with a mounting list of injuries and a tiny first-team squad, the team struggled from the start. By the spring of 2022, relegation looked a distinct possibility and the Leeds United Board decided to gamble on a change of manager; in came the American Jesse Marsch to try to rescue the Leeds United dream.
This is the story, as seen through the eyes of the author, of a shipwreck of a season when everything that could go wrong, did go wrong and Leeds's survival was still in the balance on the final day of the season. This is the 12th book in the series of Leeds United season reviews that the author has written and once again it captures all the drama, and sometimes the humour of following one of England's most iconic football teams.
