Bleed White is the story of Leeds United in the new Millennium. At
the turn of the century a young vibrant team had ambitions to
challenge the domination of Manchester United and Arsenal and by
the 1st January 2002 they sat proudly at the top of the Premier
League arguably the best league in Europe. But disaster was around
the corner. Mismanagement both on and off the field saw the club
fall into serious financial difficulty. Managers and players came
and went and the club was relegated from the Premier League in May
2004. The downfall continued and they were relegated from the
Championship in May 2007 and started in the third tier of British
football for the first time in the club's history. The club had
also been put into administration and to make matters worse they
were forced to start the next season with a fifteen point penalty
following a dispute with the Inland Revenue which caused them to
break Football League rules. But the club is on the way back and
after three long years in Division One, the future is looking much
brighter. Ken Bates the Chairman has restored financial stability
and Simon Grayson an excellent young manager who happens to be a
fan and ex Leeds player has given the fans hope at last. This story
is a fan's view of what happened at Leeds United Football Club
during those eventful years. The book covers issues both on and off
the pitch and has been written from two different perspectives -
wearing a level headed business hat one minute and a passionate
Leeds United baseball cap the next. Business objectivity meets
football fan emotion and they hate each other.
