Pride Before the Fall: How Derby County went from Play-Off Final to
Near Extinction is the ultimate cautionary tale of how chasing
Premier League riches can lead a club to the brink of collapse.
It’s a story of how one of English football’s greatest clubs
were on the cusp of Premier League football, but instead were left
to rue play-off heartache and then went down a path of EFL charges
and legal battles, phantom takeovers from American and Saudi
businessmen, administration, points deductions and a seemingly
endless stream of financial woes. That tiny snowflake in the
background would turn into a raging snowstorm. But before all that
England and Manchester United’s record goalscorer Wayne Rooney
turned up to partner with former Barcelona captain Phillip Cocu to
lead a play-off push back to English football’s top tier – at
least that was the plan. The book examines how a founding member of
the English Football League – and two-time First Division
champions – were nearly wiped off the face of the earth.
