Follow-up to the critically acclaimed The Man with the Plan: Howard Wilkinson's Leeds United. Under chairman Peter Ridsdale, Leeds seemed to be on the brink of glory, but then the nightmare began. The Bowyer/Woodgate trial and financial collapse were followed by a player fire sale. Then came another sale and relegation.
