Leeds United recruited Daniel Farke in the summer of 2023 to get the club back where it belonged, in the Premier League, following a disastrous relegation the previous season. He nearly managed it too, only missing out through a lacklustre performance in a Wembley playoff final against Southampton. It was heartbreaking for Leeds, having put together a record-breaking season, only for Leicester City and Ipswich Town to have even better campaigns, edging Leeds out of the automatic promotion places.
Leeds backed Farke to go again in the 2024/2025 season, and, once again, Leeds put together a scintillating season. This time, Burnley and Sheffield United matched Leeds every step of the way in another incredibly tight race for promotion. This is the story of an incredible season, seen through the eyes of the author, watching the highs and lows and experiencing the hopes and fears of one of England’s most iconic football clubs. This is the 15th book in this series from the author, each one following Leeds United through a complete season both on and off the pitch, trying to capture the very essence of what it means to 'be Leeds’.
