Trevir Francis called him "An innovative thinker and an oustanding Coach of his time " He rebuilt Leeds with Silver,Gillman and Fotherby ,,was the brains behind Thorpe Arch which produced a fabulous crop of youngsters that should have been part of a great future for Leeds
Yes he'd been there 8 years, won the title and played in Europe. It was a big deal. I'm not sure too many managers would be part of a press conference announcing they'd been sacked either. Interesting that George turned down Man City because he was holding out for the Leeds job. How times have changed.
I remember English fans taking the piss out of Italian clubs for doing the same thing yeras ago. And now in the EPL you can get sacked in no time even if you're successful 😂
@@clivet3252Yes, and also got beat home and away in the CL by my club who your mob stupidly assumed would walk all over. Supr Ally and Mark Hateley shut up alot of the English media and Leeds fans. You lot even had the nerve to say "Just wait till they come to Elland Road" 😂
Caspian where from London not from yorkshire I disagree I think we should kept wilko he deserved better Caspian had planned to get rid of him it was bad moves

It was practically straight away George taking over & with O'Leary still been at Leeds after a season he became George's assistant !!!
in the era when a sacking was a really big deal. I resent the current era of manager swapping in and out when clearly players are to blame.

Best and my First manager last English manager to win top title
He was meant to have been a very odd man..Jim Beglin once said ( off the record) words to the affect ..as being very strange
