Summary

What does it take to thrive in one of the most pressurised leadership roles in modern times? What is the real story behind the men in the football hotseat who shape the dreams and ambitions of millions? 

The First 100 Days: Lessons in Leadership from the Football Bosses is both an entertaining book for football fans and a self-help manual for those embarking on a leadership challenge of their own. A host of top football managers including Manchester United's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and West Ham’s David Moyes reveal the inside story of their first days in the job and explain the secret strategies that enabled them to lay the all-important foundations for success. This book is also a personal odyssey. When school headteacher Phil Denton bumped into Dundee United boss Micky Mellon, the two started swapping stories about their own leadership roles. The pair embarked on a journey of discovery. The result is a rich and unique book packed with thought-provoking anecdotes and observations that will both inform and entertain.

Awful Accents

Some of the story was fairly interesting but the accents especially Mickey Mellon's Glaswegian one were too bad for words

Narration ruins it

Good book.

But the narrators appalling attempts at Scottish and other accents ruins the whole thing. It’s cringeworthy.

Narrators voice very off putting - sorry

I found the narrators droning voice really off putting - so much
So that I couldn’t listen. Sorry.
