Synopsis

After the crushing disappointment of the previous season, a great sigh of relief was expressed throughout the City of Leeds when the news came that Marcelo Bielsa had agreed to manage United for another term. Apart from a couple of minor slips, the Whites dominated the Championship table despite being pushed all the way by West Bromwich Albion and Brentford. This time their steel and determination prevented any lapses in concentration as they ended up ten points clear of the chasing pack. Throughout the season, Marcelo Bielsa maintained his dignified and undemonstrative approach. However, when the champagne did start flowing, fans were delighted to see the man's emotional side. This is one fan's account of how he witnessed the momentous events unfold. As well as being a factual account, it is lightly seasoned with the odd amusing anecdote. This time Bielsa did deliver. Leeds have not reached the Promised Land or some mystical Valhalla where they will be overawed by the quality of their fellow travellers. Instead, they have come home. To a home that was thrown away by those who lived the dream by spending money that they did not own. Unlike it's predecessor, this book has a guaranteed happy ending as we all await the next chapter.
