Description
Pride Before the Fall: How Derby County Went from Play-Off Final to Near Extinction is a cautionary tale of how chasing Premier League riches can lead a club to financial ruin. Once one of English football's greatest clubs, Derby County was on the cusp of success, but instead faced a series of challenges that nearly wiped them off the face of the earth. The book examines the events that led to this downfall, including phantom takeovers, administration, points deductions, and a seemingly endless stream of financial woes. A turning point came when England's record goalscorer Wayne Rooney joined forces with former Barcelona captain Phillip Cocu to lead a play-off push back to English football's top tier. This book provides a detailed look at the events that led to Derby County's near extinction, making it a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the inner workings of English football.
