Review

`I devoured this. Lyttleton's journey to the fringes of sporting thought, greedily absorbing innovations as he goes, translates into a pacy, thought-provoking work that reveals just how nuanced sporting - and indeed business - success is in the modern world. The insight into born leaders such as Didier Deschamps, who flex their style rather than their authority, is compelling, as too are the regular reminders of the capacity for old-fashioned qualities such as cohesion and resilience to trump skill and potential. Are enough businesses playing the equivalent of head-up football with their talent and resources? They may start to after reading this.' - Duncan Craig, Sunday Times `A fascinating look at the approaches of some of European football's most impressive clubs - as well as some overachieving underdogs. Lyttleton eschews tired cliches, and instead challenges the consensus to present a fascinating insight into the intricacies of running a modern football club' - Michael Cox, author of The Mixer `The most captivating football book I have read. The detailed insight from the game's biggest names is fascinating and each chapter left me feeling inspired and motivated.' Dean Jones, Bleacher Report `Remarkable access to some of the biggest names in football - a tour of the game's new thinking, written up with great fluency.' - Simon Kuper, Contributor, Financial Times `Full of fascinating ideas - this book make will make you think!' - Wim Jonk, Cruyff Football `A fascinating read ... Inspiring for anyone who wants to learn how to be successful.' - Marcus Christenson, The Guardian 'Anyone looking to improve themselves as well as others should read this book.' - Alex Inglethorpe, Liverpool FC Academy Director `If you want to be a coach, manager or successful company director, you should read Edge as it's inspiring and will give you tips from those who have done it' - Petr Cech
