  Manchester United enjoyed their greatest generation under Sir Alex Ferguson. The rulebook on domestic domination was rewritten as the club became the most successful in British football history. 
   
  For the first time, one of Ferguson’s closest aides lifts the lid on the inner workings at Carrington, as René Meulensteen, one of the game’s greatest minds, shares all the stories and secrets that contributed and illuminated the most glittering managerial era in football history. 
   
  Meulensteen’s story begins in a provincial region of Holland; a student of the game, René explains how he fought through red tape and bureaucracy to establish himself as a coach with principles he firmly believed in, and how those visionary methods saw him land a remarkable position at the world’s biggest club, overseeing the technical development of their most precious department - the youth system. 
   
  Meulensteen talks about working with stars like Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs, before he was called to work with the first team on a more permanent basis. There, he enjoyed notable contributions, transforming Cristiano Ronaldo into a goal monster and featuring heavily in the move that brought Robin van Persie to Old Trafford. From being Ferguson’s right-hand man to going out on his own, Meulensteen explains his philosophy in an inspiring and accessible way. 
   
  Moreover, this autobiography is a compelling and addictive love-letter to the fabric of everything Manchester United stands for. The exploration and explanation of United’s style of play will thrill supporters and stun analysts, as one of the sport’s greatest minds finally shares his fascinating journey in football.

  Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award 2022 
  Football has always measured success by what you win, but only in the last twenty years have clubs started to think about how you win. Data has now suffused almost every aspect of how football is played, coached, scouted and consumed. But it’s not the algorithms or new metrics that have made this change, it’s the people behind them. 
  This is the story of modern football’s great data revolution and the group of curious, entrepreneurial personalities who zealously believed in its potential to transform the game. Central to this cast is Chris Anderson, an academic with no experience in football, who saw data as an opportunity to fundamentally change a sport that did not think it could be changed. His aim: to infiltrate the strange, insular world of professional football by establishing a club whose entire DNA could be built around data. 
  Expected Goals charts his remarkable journey into the heart of the modern game and reveals how clubs across the world, from Liverpool to Leipzig and Brentford to Bayern Munich, began to see how data could help them unearth new players, define radical tactics and plot their path to glory. 
  The book Expected Goals by Rory Smith, delves into the intricate world of soccer, where the best coaching strategies are now driven by data and statistics. It's a top pick for anyone interested in the business side of sports, especially the economics and probability aspects that are now integral to the game. 
  For fans of Tifo - The Athletic (How To Watch Football), Ian Graham (The Ultimate Book of Impostors), James Tippett (The Expected Goals Philosophy), Jonathan Wilson (Kick and Run), and Stefan Szymanski (It's Football, Not Soccer).

  “The twisting mix of sadness and wit are blended together with perfection” MOUNTAIN RESCUE MAGAZINE 
   
  `A fascinating account of a man of great humility and remarkable courage.' Annie Brown, The Daily Record 
   
   `Makes Touching the Void seem like a pretty routine day on the hill. ‘Iain Macwhirter, The Sunday Herald  
   
  `Cairngorm John is a remarkable piece of work: succinct, moving, compassionate, gripping, technically detailed and yet broad enough in its appeal to hold the attention of general audiences'-Rennie MacOwen, The Scots Magazine 
   
  `Cairngorm John portrays the human side of mountain rescue, clearly demonstrating the emotional roller coaster that's involved, as well as the camaraderie that exists within teams like Cairngorm Mountain Rescue. I wish every 'do-gooder' who insists on full-time professional mountain rescue teams would read the book and recognise that the main ingredients for a mountain rescuer are commitment, concern and enthusiasm. John Allen has all these in abundance. He also tells a very good story.' Cameron McNeish, TGO Magazine
