O'Neill was lined up to replace Graham. He asked for more time to consider the offer. Meanwhile DOL did well as caretaker and Ridsdale decided to give him the job instead. MON would have come, but Ridsdale panicked. There was no replacement lined up for DOL. In fact Ridsdale gave him an unbreakable 5-year contract that was payable IN FULL if he was sacked. More incompetence, and why DOL got an £8 million payoff when he was sacked with four years outstanding. >>I did not mean to rehash the tired old Who Killed Leeds United ? argument..............but, if you believe what Ridsdale said in his book, he DID have a replacement lined up for O Leary, namely Martin O'Neill. He thought the deal was sealed, but it fell through at the last minute (can't remember why.)<<
