Leeds United in the 21st Century
The last twenty years have been tortuous for supporters of Leeds United Football Club. In 2001 they were in the final four of the Champions' League; within six years they were condemned to the third tier of English football. The summer of 2012 was dominated by rumours as a bank from the Middle East courted Bates. Engulfed by the 'Spygate' dispute with Frank Lampard's Derby County, United missed out on promotion by a whisker in 2019. Big money investment and tantalising financial riches await if Leeds reach the Premier League. Beginning in 2000 as football's finances started to boom, this book tells the tale of how Leeds United tried to capitalise on the financial gravy train and almost perished in the process but retained the loyal and passionate support of one of the most committed fan bases in Europe.
