The fact you never hear him even linked with any job that comes up in the Championship. Speaks volumes.

I like O'Leary and he was a great player but we can't seriously be considering giving the job to someone who has had little or no involvement in football in 10 years.

Well if he was offered a job in England or Europe and he turned it down for a big money offer from some footballing backwater then that says more about the man and his ambition than I could

Nothing to do with the massive salary they paid him then ... I seem to remember our last manager coming from some outfit named after an energy drink |

There was a reason he was managing in the middle east, he couldn't get a job anywhere else.

Always liked O'Leary and I'd be happy if he got the job.

Which jobs was he in for? He only got his legal case sorted in March. People are talking Roy Knacker up but sure he's failed everywhere he's been and I doubt he would get a job in championship. In not saying o'leary should be nailed on for the job but he should be on any short list. Interested to know which jobs he got knocked back on?? |

There's a few threads on other candidates so I thought this man deserves one. O'Leary actually has a very impressive management record, 3 top 4 finishes in Premier League, a UEFA cup semi final and a Champions League semi final. He developed the young players at Leeds and integrated them into the system and he is a very good man manager (according to a few lads I know who were apprentices at Leeds). He has been out of the game since 2011 due to a legal wrangle with an outfit in the Middle East but is free to manage now. I think he would have a point to prove and the break will have rejuvenated him. His record highlights that he is actually the most successful Irish manager and dwarfs the managerial careers of McDermott, houghton, o'neill and Roy knacker.
Leeds United 1998/9 - 4th EPL 1999/2000 - 3rd EPL SF UEFA Cup 2000/01 - 4th EPL SF Champions League 2001/2 - 5th EPL Aston Villa 2003/4 - 6th EPL 2004/5 - 10th EPL Irish, out of work and on budget, sure what more do we want |
