How to Win the Premier League

This is the best book on football I have ever read. Ian Graham is totally brilliant. Make sure not to miss out upon learning from him

Daniel Finkeklstein, columnist and bestselling author

Fascinating and educational. An enjoyable and informative read.

Never before has the data revolution in football been described so much from the inside. And not from a marginalised figure, but from someone at the forefront of the revolution who has helped two of the biggest clubs in the world to look at football in a completely new way and work radically differently. It says a lot of things I've always wanted to know, and it makes it clear that data analysis is not a magic trick, but hard work and an ongoing process of distilling practical information from the data.

Christoph Biermann, author of Football Hackers

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

'How to Win the Premier League' gives you three books for the price of one: a book about all of the silly inefficiencies plaguing European football, a book about what it's like to be empowered to use outside-the-box thinking to help turn your boyhood club into the best team in the world, and a book about how football actually works. If he really wanted to, Ian could easily put me out of a job.'

Ryan O'Hanlon, author of Net Gains and staff writer at ESPN

One of the great football books of its time
