[QUOTE="Pressure, post: 63744, member: 525"] Yeah, whilst I wasn't at all surprised at O'Leary's exit, I was surprised at Ridsdale's choice of a manager to take the club forward. Watching Leeds in the latter part of last season was terrible - it was clear something wasn't right. I think that O'Leary's position had become untenable. He had everything at his disposal to manage Leeds to a proper Premiership challenge last season, but failed even to get into the Champions League. It's often reported that he left himself open to criticism from the media after the publication of his book, but the people who mattered most were the players. It is the downturn in fortunes following the book's publication that have lost O'Leary his job. In any workplace, harmony and teamwork are paramount to success. Negativity breeds negativity. O'Leary's criticism of his players was foolish. For all O'Leary's naivity, he is still a 40 old year old bloke who should have known that he was playing russian roulette when he made the decision to publish the book. What about Terry? I'm sure one of the main purposes of the new appointment is to close the door on all the off the field lows of the last couple of years. In this glossy corporate branded world of PLC football, it's important that the club portrays a good image. Now, it may be more difficult to associate the Bowyer Woodgate affair with Terry Venables' Leeds, but I am still slightly concerned that Leeds are merely side stepping here. Terry has always been good at dealing with the press, but I'm slightly anxious that his high profile and heavily reported past will get in the way of taking these players (and particularly the club) to the next level. Of course, I hope I am entirely wrong! [/QUOTE]
