How to Win the Premier League
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER AND A FINANCIAL TIMES, SUNDAY TIMES AND TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024''The best book on football I have ever read'' Daniel Finkelstein''Fascinating and educational. An enjoyable and informative read'' Sir Kenny Dalglish''Deserves a place among the great modern books on football'' Sam Wallace, chief football writer, Telegraph______________________________The insider account of the data revolution that has swept through the modern football world written by one of its key architects, Ian Graham.Between 2012 and 2023, Ian Graham worked as Liverpool FC''s Director of Research. His tenure coincided with the club’s greatest period of success since the 1980s, including winning the Premier League in 2020 – Liverpool’s first league title after an agonising three decades.Here for the first time, Graham reveals the fascinating data that informed some of the club’s most pivotal moments of the past decade, from the appointment of Jurgen Klopp as manager in 2015 to the signing of Mohamed Salah in 2017. Along the way, he shares groundbreaking insight into the modern game, including how a season largely played behind closed doors transformed our understanding of home team advantage, or why the GOAT (greatest of all time) might not be who you think. And, in a game that is increasingly dominated by an elite few, Graham charts a path for the future where a data-savvy competitor will always find the edge.______________________________''A fascinating, witty and remarkably insightful account of Liverpool''s reinvention and a clear-eyed, detailed explanation of the inner workings of modern football. Nobody is better qualified to tell either of those stories than Ian Graham, who stands as one of the most (quietly) significant figures in the recent history of the club and the sport'' Rory Smith, author of Expected Goals and Chief Soccer Correspondent, New York Times''Never before has the data revolution in football been described so well from the inside.''

If he really wanted to, Ian could easily put me out of a job.’Ryan O’Hanlon, author of Net Gains and staff writer ESPN*A Sunday Times bestseller August 2024

Edward Watkin was a prominent figure in 19th-century Britain, renowned for his extensive railway projects and his influence on both social and economic initiatives. As chairman of nine British railway companies, Watkin also developed railways in Canada, the USA, Greece, India, and the Belgian Congo. His leadership roles included senior positions with major British railways like the London and North Western Railway and the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway, and he was president of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada.One of his most ambitious projects was the creation of the Great Central Main Line, a high-speed rail link from Manchester to London, part of his broader vision to connect Manchester to Paris and India via a Channel tunnel. He initiated work on the tunnel in 1880, but it was abandoned due to security concerns.Watkin also developed Wembley Park into a popular destination for Londoners, which later became home to Wembley Stadium. Additionally, he proposed a ‘Great Tower in London’ to surpass the Eiffel Tower, though it was never completed.Through his personal diaries, the author explores Watkin’s lesser-known private life, offering a deeper understanding of this remarkable and visionary individual.

White Shark
An adult great white is a big shark – reallybig. It has been responsible for more shark bites and human deaths than anyother species, according to the International Shark Attack File. This isprobably because it sees us as aberrant marine mammals flailing about in thewater and certainly worth an exploratory bite – but a gentle mouthing from atwo-tonne white shark, its jaws filled with row upon row of razor-sharp teeth,could result in a severe mauling for any victim unlucky enough to haveattracted its attention. Though its danger was well known to ancientmariners, it was not until the mid-1970s that it came to occupy its currentplace in the popular imagination, when Jaws was unleashed on anunsuspecting public. The great white shark’s reputation hit rock bottom in thewake of the Spielberg classic. But during the fifty years since the film’sfirst release, public interest in the species has sparked a renaissance inresearch, producing remarkable new insights into the life of this extraordinaryanimal. Telling the story of the great white sharkfrom the perspectives of history, psychology and biology, White Shark isnothing less than the biography of the world’s most fascinating fish.
