DOL - Putting the #### into Scunthorpe?

[dave.woodhall]

The one thing I will never understand about O'Leary is that given the feelings towards Doug at the time he didn't have to say a word and he would have had everyone on his side; press, fans, the lot. He didn't even have to be like Gregory and get us onboard with a series of merry quips and witty one-liners - just keep his gob shut. Instead he seemed to go out of his way to alienate everyone.

I think that. I also wonder if he had resigned as soon as the season ended in 2006 would he have got a job with another club the following season? Would the general thought have been that he did his best with Doug and deserved a chance with a mid table top flight club?

Probably not, because he'd pissed so many people off. If you were a chairman thinking of employing him you'd ask Doug, your local press would ask ours and the replies would all involve a bargepole.

Their chairman said the rumours were untrue and he was not on any shortlist.

You are giving forum members far too much credit. Most can't read.

eastie, do you regularly wink like that at people in real life? Like random passers by in the street.
