Balague Book Launch

[eamonn]

Good lad!

[mrfuse]

There seems to have been a lot of fuss made about a book that probably won't be either definitive or groundbreaking.

I get where you’re coming from, but after reading The Rise of the Villains, I was actually surprised by how much it stuck with me. It might not be the definitive take on everything, but it gives a really honest and human look at Unai Emery. It helped me understand the way he works, the challenges he’s faced, and the thought behind his approach—stuff that often gets missed in the usual media coverage. I’ve definitely come away from it as a more patient and appreciative fan.

Don't worry, my next launch won't be twenty quid a time.

[mrfuse]

Haha fair enough! To be honest, for twenty quid, I got a new perspective on Emery and a bit more patience on matchdays—cheaper than therapy! But hey, if your next launch comes with a discount and some behind-the-scenes drama, I’m in.

[dave.woodhall]

What's this word 'discount'?

Fully agree loved that book and some great insight from people involved at the time, looking forward to this book as well, the relationship the authour has with Emery, Monchi and the team should make it a good read. Didn't go last night due to work, but love these type of events.

In all seriousness Dave, are you working on your next launch?

[Brazilian Villain]

In all seriousness Dave, are you working on your next launch?

If he is, I hope it's not titled Fall of the Villains.

[Drummond]

No Bartons Book Launch either.

[eamonn]

In all seriousness Dave, are you working on your next launch?

McMullan to O'Leary needs a refresh.

[dave.woodhall]

In all seriousness Dave, are you working on your next launch?

Absolutely. Watch this space.

[chrisw1]

[Crown Hill]

It’s a good read well researched, well written and insightful. It’s effectively an authorised biography of Unai and I doubt there will be a better one!

[Ger Regan]

Just finished it and it's, fine. Some really poor errors in it though, like claiming onana cost 13m and that it was Fernandes who played the ball that resulted in emi's red. General feel of a fluff piece but you do get a bit more of a feel of his personality
