Litt historikk
O'Leary er uten en tråd.....sjokkerende!
DOL tok oss opp fra gjørma, og ledet oss til 5, 4, 3, 4 og 5 plass i sesongene fra 98-02. Han satset på unge spillere, og fikk frem spillere som Kewell, Smith og Woodgate fra juniorlaget.

Litt mer historikk

Litt YouTube videoer

Og så!
Sparkingen av O'Leary var kanskje det nest største sjokket for meg som supporter, men hva om han fortsatte etter sommeren 2002?
Leeds United Nostalgia: O’Leary’s exit was the beginning of Leeds decline
07:01 Monday 03 July 2017
(http://res.cloudinary.com/jpress/image/fetch/w_auto,f_auto,ar_3:2,c_fill/http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/webimage/1.8627686.1499025134!/image/image.jpg)
David O'Leary
As David O’Leary embraced the support of the Elland Road faithful after a 1-0 home victory over Middlesbrough at the end of the 2001/02 campaign, securing a fifth-placed finish in the Premier League and European football for a fifth consecutive season, few predicted that he would not be in charge for the beginning of the following season.
Yet on June 27, 2002 – 15 years ago last Tuesday – Leeds decided to part company with the former Arsenal defender.
Leeds chairman Peter Ridsdale’s reasons behind O’Leary’s departure were said to include a reluctance on the Irishman’s part to sell star defender Rio Ferdinand to Manchester United, despite the club reportedly making it clear to O’Leary that they had to make a £15million profit in the transfer market that summer.
The club’s now infamous post-millennial spending spree had not paid off and the Whites needed to make cuts as a result of missing out on Champions League football.
Ridsdale also claimed, in his book United We Fall, that O’Leary had caused upset with certain members of the dressing room. Lee Bowyer was reportedly unhappy with the release of O’Leary’s book Leeds United On Trial.
The controversial book documented the trials of Bowyer and Jonathan Woodgate relating to an incident in Leeds city centre. Bowyer was cleared in court of any wrong doing.
After O’Leary’s sacking, Bowyer departed to West Ham for a nominal fee in the following January transfer window. The season after O’Leary left the club finished 15th, ten places down on the previous season.
But what might have happened had O’Leary stayed?
How much O’Leary was aware of the desperate need to raise cash at Elland Road is something we may probably never know fully.
What is clear is that Leeds still had a reasonably strong squad of players even after the sales of Ferdinand and Robbie Keane. O’Leary would likely have used effectively those he still had at his disposal, as well as nurturing young academy products such as James Milner and Aaron Lennon.
With O’Leary remaining, there might have been more stability around the club while it tried to manage its debt.
From the debt accumulated, and following player sales, progress was understandably limited.
Perhaps under O’Leary there could have been a period of consolidation, a few seasons in mid-table of the Premier League before the club could properly start rebuilding once the debt had been reduced, thanks to increasing broadcasting money coming in to top-flight clubs.
And had O’Leary remained, the Whites might well not have capitulated as catastrophically as they did.
It is unlikely Leeds would have been challenging for Champions League qualification in the subsequent years, but the club might have had a better chance of retaining their Premier League status, and so could have rebuilt from much higher ground.

Report claims Andrea Radrizzani has invited David O'Leary
Subhankar Mondal22 hours ago
David O’Leary was quite successful during his managerial spell at Leeds United.
According to The Times, Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has invited David O'Leary to a game at Elland Road.
O’Leary is one of the greatest managers in Leeds’s history, having been in charge of the Whites from 1998 until 2002.
During his time at Elland Road, the former Arsenal central defender guided the West Yorkshire outfit to four top-five finishes in the Premier League and a Champions League semi-final.
The 59-year-old former Aston Villa boss, who also represented Leeds as a player in the 1990s, has not been in football management since 2011.
The Times has claimed that Leeds owner Radrizzani has invited O’Leary back to Elland Road for lunch and a game.
“I’m looking forward to taking in a few games,†O’Leary told The Times. “I came away from Leeds after five years so must have done all right.
“I did three-and-a-half years at Villa under Doug Ellis and that was a long three-and-a-half years believe you me. Nobody ever asked me again.â€
Leeds are not in good form at the moment and are outside of the Championship playoff spots.
The Whites started the season strongly, but their recent results and performances have been disappointing.
The West Yorkshire outfit need to put together a run of positive results in the Championship after the international break.

Har aldri lagt skjul på at jeg liker O`Leary! Jeg er faktisk overbevist om at hvis han kommer tilbake, så vil det være bra for oss. Folk mener at han har vært borte fra foppallen for lenge....vel, det kan være et poeng, men jeg mener at det betyr lite for hans del. Han har stått i presset før, han har ledet spillere og ikke minst førsteellvere som har hatt et nivå langt over de lagene vi har hatt de siste 10 årene. Han fikk handle på øverste hylle, men han klarte å få de til å fremstå som et lag. Og en siste ting: av alle hans kjøp, så vil jeg hevde at Seth Johnson var verst, men de andre var i det store og hele bra kjøp for klubben sett ut i fra pris, muligens med unntak av Fowler. Husk på at vi aldri kom dårligere enn 5. plass under O`Leary :) Venables overtok et fantastisk lag, og kjørte rett i grøfta >:(

Ønsker ikke O´Leary. Han har stått for tidenes svakeste managerprestasjon i Leeds´historie ved og ikke vinne en eneste tittel med det mannskapet og den pengebruken han rådde over. Bare å glemme!

Får TC sparken. Ja da er det ikke umulig O´Leary får jobben ut sesongen

Ikke enig. Chelsea, Man U og Arsenal brukte mer penger enn Leeds. Likevel kom vi foran flere store. Kom også lengst av de engelske i CL. Utrolig nok. Ikke enig i at Leeds underpresterte under DOL. 3-5. plass var "riktig" tabellplassering.

Støttes!
Hvis jeg ikke husker feil så ble han nr 6 med Villa i sin første sesong. Sesongen før holdt de på å rykke ned. Han kjøpte kun 2 spillere...men sesongen etter 6. plassen så gikk det nedover....
Uansett så blir det ikke feil med DOL igjen, håper han kommer hjem ;)

Spørs om det hadde vært riktige kortsiktige løsning, da han visstnok har vært "ute" av fotballen såpass lenge. At han har kvaliteter, det tror jeg nok. Men da mener jeg det heller skulle blitt ansett som ett langvarig prosjekt.
Men en "prøveperiode" ut sesongen, med opsjon på langsiktig kontrakt alt etter prestasjonen, kunne jo vært noe..
-
Greit valg ift fansen tror jeg- gamle, gode vibber....
Usikker på hva han kan tilføre i dagens fotball da, men prøvetid hadde vært OK.
Håper Thomas snur dette da.

David O'Leary var guest of honour i helgen, og ble intervjuet både her og der (selv om det tydeligvis ikke nådde forumet). Han følte seg privilegert over fortsatt å bli husket av Leedsfansen.
Jeg tror fansen er in two minds om ham, han gjorde utvilsomt en hel del bra (i starten) med en lovende tropp, men egoet kom gjerne i veien for at han klarte å stå imot motgangen som kom...
Ron Atkinson her er i alle fall ikke nådig:
The Ego Has Landed: David O’Leary Back at Leeds United
– by Rob Atkinson Posted on 20/12/2017
Amid the muck and bullets of an attritional battle between Leeds United and Norwich City last weekend, word was received that the club was being visited by the Ghost of Seasons Past. Former Whites manager David O’Leary was back at Elland Road, holding court in the Legends Lounge – some unintentional irony there – and dispensing his own particular brand of faux humility to anyone who would listen.
That’s what always got me about O’Leary, even at the height of his success in the post-George Graham period – this tendency of his to peddle a “Love me, I’m just a novice manager doing the best I can†line. Backed by good results from a young and thrilling team, it was an engaging enough act for a while anyway – but any such act, whether it be the blarney of Erin, or just plain old self-serving bullshit, wears thin eventually. In O’Leary’s case, that process of disillusionment was accelerated by his own actions as financial crisis and the Bowyer/Woodgate court case hit the club hard. When the solids hit the air-conditioning, poor David was liberally splattered by the noxious fallout, his strained relationship with local press figures meaning there was precious little sympathy or protection for him there.
O’Leary was largely the author of his own misfortune. “United on Trialâ€, his controversial book in the wake of the long, drawn-out court case, was an ill-judged attempt to dissociate himself from any blame for the storm clouds gathering over Elland Road. Players from a squad he’d previously dubbed his “babies†were callously thrown to the wolves, who had scented blood in LS11, and were voraciously snapping away at the heels of a wounded and foundering giant. It had all looked so good for Leeds in the campaign leading up to the Champions League last four, but the fall from those rarefied heights was precipitous; weak leadership in the boardroom had given O’Leary too free a hand in the transfer market, with results that have become notorious in the history of a club that tried to live the dream but entered instead into a ten year nightmare. So unprecedented was this fall from grace that a new phrase, describing the suicidal self-immolation of any football club, entered the language: “Doing a Leedsâ€.
O’Leary got the Leeds job at a particularly propitious time; able to build on the foundations laid by the cautious and meticulous approach of George Graham, he also benefited from a crop of youthful talent coming through, the like of which had not been seen at Leeds since the early sixties. It was a recipe for success, requiring only a steady hand at the tiller and a fair share of good luck. Sadly for United, after a bright start to the Irishman’s tenure, neither of these requirements were fulfilled, and the club embarked on a downhill slide that a greased pig would have found hard to emulate.
Despite all of this, some United fans have fond memories of O’Leary – which, when you consider some of the football played and some of the results achieved, is reasonably understandable. But the idyll was deceptive; some of the players grew disillusioned, to say the least, with a manager whose genial demeanour masked what at times was a chilling ruthlessness, allied to a preoccupation with being seen always in the most favourable light. His popularity with certain squad members declined to the point where at least one refused to sign a book for a fan, simply because the manager’s picture featured on the cover. And his attitude towards respected local press members – summed up briefly as “I don’t really need you†was seen as so wilfully arrogant that those press members felt under no obligation to pull their punches when things tuned sour.
Even now, O’Leary will use his characteristic self-effacing delivery to mask what amounts to relentless self-promotion; he’s always after the printing of the legend, untainted by inconvenient facts. In and around his Elland Road appearance last weekend, the former United manager revealed the question he’s most often been asked by Leeds fans since his departure. Predictably, it redounds to his credit – what O’Leary soundbite does not? “It’s ‘When are you coming back to Leeds’“, he revealed, adding that he found such a question “embarrassing really. I’m so privileged that they still remember meâ€.
Continuing this apparently diffident self-homage, O’Leary gushed “It’s just so nice and I always knew that I had their support, and I appreciate their support even more now. Twenty years and they still remember me – I can’t believe that!â€
It’s not that difficult to believe, though. United fans, especially those who don’t habitually sport the rose-tinted glasses of fond recollection, will be unlikely to forget the man who inherited a dressing room of such vast potential and then proceeded to lose it through his own crass and self-serving actions. The answer to the question of “When are you coming back, David?†must surely be “Next time Leeds United needs the spirit of the club shattered almost beyond repair – next time we wish to plunge into a new dark age and threaten our very existenceâ€. It really was as bad as that.
So David, you can quote your admirers all you like – we’re never going to hear the other side of that coin from your self-aggrandising lips. But remember, some of us see you for what you are – and we’re glad and relieved that you’re history now as far as Leeds United is concerned.

Alt DOL gjorde var jo gull svært lenge. Husker han hentet Battey umiddelbart . Utrolig dumt å skrive denne boka mens han var manager. "Er det mulig?", tenker jeg idag. Noen spillerkjøp sviktet på slutten også. Kom for raskt til suksess med Leeds og mistet bakkekontakt. Men å gi ham skylda for fallet blir feil.
-
Leeds dårligste manager gjennom tidene. Ingen manager i verden hadde klart OG IKKE VINNE NOE med det laget DOL ledet.

Jeg ser det litt annerledes. Man kan si at spillerne til Leeds ble gode av å spille under O'Leary:
1. Leeds spilte mye bedre etter at DOL overtok i 1998. En forvandling. Med de samme spillere. Skyldes O'Leary.
2. Kun Rio Ferdinand gjorde stor suksess i andre klubber etter DOL-tiden. Og kanskje Woodgate ( Real Madrid ) . De fleste spillere ble mer anonyme etter Leeds-perioden. Under DOL fikk de seg et navn i et kollektiv , og da de ble solgt bleknet de . Hadde de vært veldig gode så ville de blitt kjøpt av klubber som jaget titler. Det skjedde ikke. Så gode var de ikke. DOL (altså laget) sto bak deres suksess.
At Leeds hadde et opplagt tittel lag (spiller for spiller) er det tvil om . Da må jo dette måles opp mot troppen til Chelsea, Arsenal og ManU anno 2001 f.eks.

Skulle TC få sparken nå er jeg ikke tvil om at DOL ville vært ett utrolig spennende valg.
Ville trolig gitt oss en boost å få inn en mann med den historien, og forhåpentligvis kunne han gjenskapt noe av den gløden han kom inn med på slutten av 90 tallet.
Lykkes han er han aktuell til å forsette, går det dårlig har vi god tid til å lete etter rett mann som kan ta over til sommeren.
Om DOL anno 2018 holder mål 20 år etter gjenstår å se, men en fristende tanke er det :)
-
Blir litt baklengs inn i fremtiden. DOL er en bra mann. Men håper ikke dette blir aktuellt. Men for all del... den champagne fotballen vi spilte under han vsr ellevill!
-
Skal det være ett argument at han ikke har ledet ett lag på mange år? Kan være at han er sulten, på en ny manager periode. Han og Leeds ga oss mange utrolig flotte kamper, savner den tiden.
Hadde ikke M Bridges blitt skadet, så hadde Leeds klart seg veldig mye bedre den sesongen. Det var en klassespiss, som desverre aldri kom seg ordtlig tilbake etter skaden.
TC har etter en god start, ikke klart å levere resultater som kreves.
Ã… tro på at han skal klare å snu denne trenden vi er inne i nu, det er å tru på julnissen.
Håper selvsagt æ tar feil, og at Leeds klatrer opp på 2 plass og rykker opp. :)

-
Styr unna, unngå nostalgifella! La DOL representere minneboken, og ikke fremtiden i klubben vår. :-*
DOL hadde sin gode periode med oss noen år rundt millenniumskiftet, samt en grei sesong med Aston Villa. Best fungerte han i tospann med Eddie Gray. Utenom det er managerCVen hans heller tynn suppe, sikkert ikke helt uten grunn.
-
For all del - det er vel ingen som seriøst mener at DOL er aktuell som head coach?
Men det han gjorde de to første årene etter at han tok over i oktober -98, var vanvittig bra.

Leeds United Bygones: O’Leary’s sacking start of the decline
Published: 06:10 Monday 25 June 2018
(https://res.cloudinary.com/jpress/image/fetch/w_620,f_auto,ar_3:2,q_auto:low,c_fill/if_h_lte_200,c_mfit,h_201/https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/webimage/1.9220007.1529871595!/image/image.jpg)
Former Leeds United manager 'David O'Leary.
It’s been an exciting week for Leeds United. Marcelo Bielsa’s appointment is a signal of intent that most could only dream of.
There is a sense of tangible ambition, of genuine optimism sweeping the corridors of Elland Road for the first time since their decline from the upper echelons of the Premier League began.
Leeds United's Lucas Radebe captained South Africa in the 1996 World Cup.

If Leeds fans were to pinpoint a moment in which that decline kick-started into overdrive, many would plump for what happened 16 years ago this week, when David O’Leary was unceremoniously sacked as manager.
Bielsa, many of those same fans say, is the boss the club has been waiting for since that very day.
His sides play with a swagger that O’Leary’s lot played with, and he has a way of developing young talent as former Arsenal and Republic of Ireland defender O’Leary did.
The two men are far from similar in so many ways, but the comparisons are there to be made, if you want to make them.

O’Leary, who also had a spell playing for the Whites, presided over four happy years at Elland Road, picking up a club in the doldrums following a turbulent George Graham era. A successful tenure as caretaker put him in the hot seat full-time, with swathes of Whites support sceptical of his suitability.
But they were soon convinced. In his first season Leeds finished fourth and qualified for the UEFA Cup, losing out at the semi-final stage of that competition in tragic circumstances the season after.
O’Leary implemented a philosophy at odds with that of Graham.
His side played on the front foot, with a direct but free-flowing attitude that saw his young side flourish.
He promoted the likes of Jonathan Woodgate, Lee Bowyer, Alan Smith, Harry Kewell, Stephen McPhail, Eirik Bakke and Ian Harte, signed the likes of Danny Mills and Rio Ferdinand and fused them with experience pros like Lucas Radebe, Nigel Martyn and Gary Kelly. This was a Leeds side with identity.
The infamous old adage goes that “you can’t win anything with kidsâ€, and in this particular instance that holds water. O’Leary’s Leeds never won a trophy, but they provided a generation of United fans with memories that far outweigh any League Cup victory.
That Leeds side took them to Madrid and Milan, to Rome and Barcelona.
Leeds United were eating at the top table of European football, followed by some of the most passionate supporters in the world, playing with the sort of fearless confidence that clubs up and down England could only dream of.
Whilst always domestically competitive, it was on the continent that that Leeds side will always be remembered.
There were times of stress, of fights outside Leeds nightclubs, training ground bust-ups and of rampant overspending that sent that same fanbase to Crewe Alexandra and Carlisle United .
The beginning of the end came with the sale of Rio Ferdinand to cross-Pennine rivals Manchester United, which O’Leary publicly lambasted.
Within days, as the Irishman visited the club before heading off on his summer holidays, he was removed from his position as manager. It was an exit that exposed the cracks of mismanagement the club is still feeling the effects of today.
Chairman Peter Ridsdale hurriedly announced that O’Leary had left the club my mutual consent, only for the man himself to embarrass the club by revealing he was sacked. It may well be that Marcelo Bielsa is the man to take Leeds back into the Premier League, with a flair and reliance on youthful exuberance that took the club to the finer corners of European football.
For now, all they have is memories.
1966
Leeds pair Billy Bremner and Willie Bell were part of the Scotland side who drew against Brazil in a pre-World Cup friendly at Hampden Park. Celtic’s Stevie Chalmers stunned the visitors with a first-minute goal, but Servilio levelled for Brazil after 15 minutes and that’s how it remained.
1966
England were also in World Cup warm-up action against Finland in Helsinki. United defender Jack Charlton marked his first appearance for the Three Lions in a year by scoring and 88th-minute third. Fellow centre-back Norman Hunter also played for England along with future Whites manager Jimmy Armfield.
1973
Scotland met Brazil again in an end-of-season friendly, but the home side, featuring United pair, captain Billy Bremner and striker Joe Jordan, slipped to a 1-0 defeat at Hampden Park.
1996
United legend Lucas Radebe captained South Africa in their first World Cup tournament, but Bafana Bafana were knocked out after a 2-2 draw with Saudia Arabia saw both sides elminated at the group stages.

Kan du komme med kilder på dette? Uansett hva du mener så rykket vi ned(etter min mening) med den beste troppen noensinne fra PL. En bragd av Eddie og spillerne...
Jeg likte DOL og fotballen vi spilte den gang. Da var det gode tider for oss Leedsfans, etter 2004 har det vært jævlig, selv uten DOL ;)

Jeg så det intervjuet med Jimmy på twitter i går. Han virket fortsatt bitter på Leeds...fordi han ikke ble best betalt i klubben. Han krevde sjukt mye lønn. Leeds sa nei og han dro. Side before self.
Jeg vil ikke ha han tilbake nå. Men den tiden med DOL var magisk. Han vant ikke, men semifinale i CL står det respekt av... dessuten var ikke Man Utd, Arsenal og et par klubber til helt walk in the park...
Dyreste stall? Det tviler jeg på!
Beste: Det er relativt
Dessuten så er det mer enn gode spillere og en bra manager som skal til for å oppnå suksess...tilstanden til klubben med mye rør og tull påvirket nok.

Dyreste og beste spillerstall?? Leeds brukte vel bare virkelig store penger i EN sesong, nemlig 2000/2001. Selv om vi også kjøpte Seth Johnson og Robbie Fowler dyrt i andre sesonger så er det klart at andre lag overgikk Leeds. Man kan selvsagt diskutere om O'Leary fikk nok ut at egne talenter og innkjøpt materiale, men ser man på andre lags spillerstall og kjøp på den tiden , så ser vi at de de brukte mer enn Leeds disse årene, Chelsea og Man U f.eks.
Personlig mener jeg det var sterkt å klare en 3. plass i 1999/2000 der Huckerby og Bridges erstattet Hasselbaink. Da kjempet vi om ligagull kun 10 kamper før sesongslutt. Jeg kommer ikke på noen dyre spillere i Leeds den sesongen. Ikke engang David Batty.
De som brukte mest penger i denne tiden:
1998/99: Manchester United spent £27.75m, including £12.6m on Dwight Yorke – The Red Devils also recruited £10.75m defender Jaap Stam, along with winger Jesper Blomqvist, as they won an unprecedented treble of Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup. Money well spent!
1999/2000: Liverpool spent £36.3m, including £8m on Dietmar Hamann – The Reds finished fourth in the Premier League, with Man United champions again.
2000/2001: Leeds United spent £38.45m, including £18m on Rio Ferdinand – Leeds reached the Champions League semi-finals, but missed out on qualifying for the tournament again when they finished fourth in the Premier League (only three teams qualified via the league in those days). Manchester United, meanwhile, claimed another title.
2001/02: Man United spent £57m, including £28.1m on Juan Sebastian Veron – The Red Devils also brought in Ruud van Nistelrooy, but after three consecutive titles, they finished third, with Arsenal claiming top spot.
2002/03: Man United spent £33m, including £30m Rio Ferdinand – The Red Devils spent big on World Cup star Ferdinand and were rewarded with the Premier League title.
2003/04: Chelsea spent £121m, including £16.8m on Hernan Crespo – The arrival of Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich as new Chelsea owner changed the transfer game in England. The Blues went on a remarkable spending spree, signing virtually a whole new squad-worth of first team talent. They finished second in the Premier League, behind undefeated champions Arsenal, but did knock the Gunners out of the Champions League.
2004/05: Chelsea spent £89m, including £24m on Didier Drogba – The Blues won the Premier League and League Cup… and Drogba proved to be a fairly handy signing!

O'Leary til Arsenal? Bare som konsulent, men dog.

The Athletic reminiscing om en semifinale for 20 år siden i dag.
Hovedsaklig i et intervju med DOL.
Artig å gå gjennom dette igjen. Det er lett å tenke på selve semifinaletapet, men hele reisen var spesiell. Måten vi trakk 1860 München og vi hadde 6 mann ute i skade allerede i pre-season, via stortap mot Barcelona i åpningen, og storkampen (den beste under DOL mener han) da man slo Deportivo 3-0 i den første kvartfinalekampen...
Og linker til i dag, han bor i Harrogate og går på Leeds' kamper så lenge de ikke kolliderer med Arsenals (der han er ansatt), og går attpå til i samme kirke som Marcelo Bielsa (som han holdt på å kjøre ned i dagene før intervjuet).
Flott sak av Oliver Kay!
