An amusing interview with David O'Leary has appeared on the BBC website. Even with free rein to answer the questions as he wishes, he comes across as sad & lonely.

"What do you fill your time with these days? I travel around an awful lot - Scotland, Ireland, North Yorkshire, all in a week. I do planes and trains and tend to cover the miles. It's not purely football-related, but because I have been in football you get asked to do various things. I could be playing a round of golf, attending a dinner, working with business."

Surely he must be top candidate for the next manager at the Noses ?

I'm amazed he doesn't look out for our results, I thought he loved us.

Not one mention for us, thankfully.  Hopefully one day people will have forgotten we were ever associated with this utter penis of a man.

For us, however, the memory will forever remain.

I see he's as open-minded and curious as ever

I haven't got a clue about it (Twitter) and can't stand it. I can't see the point. I wouldn't do it as a player or a manager.
He can't stand something he hasn't a clue about.

This interview just underlines how limited the man is.

To be fair, he only says he wouldn't do it as a player or a manager. He doesn't rule it out as an unemployable twat.

I can't help think if he had handled his last season with us in a diffrent way and not managed to turn all fans against him (Remember Doug was still in charge and times were desperate) then perhaps he might be a football manager now. That said he had no respect for the club and was worse than AMC.

O'Leary?
Jesus.
It's like a group of women with streaked mascara crying into their Lambrini over what "that bastard" did to them. They've met somebody else who dotes on the kids but they just can't let it go.

I think I've seen this somewhere before!, just because you move on doesn't mean you can't talk about the bad times, they are what make the good times even better.

"How can Leeds get back into the top flight? Like anybody it's about acquiring good players, good enough to get you out of that division."

No shit sherlock, wonder if he worked that out all by himself.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Coming soon to a website near you - Tommy Docherty, what a ******.

An interview with the bloke has appeared on the Beeb website which prompted the thread.

Considering his unprovoked, spiteful attitude to Aston Villa whilst in the employment of the club, any opportunity to call him a c***t should not be passed up.
