Misty eyed - I thought it was widespread knowledge that O'Leary didn't have a clue. He had a good set of youngsters who picked themselves and then when he had to delve into the transfer market he didn't have a clue. He never knew how to use substitutions and in general showed he was really lacking. He then went on the Villa and demonstrated this again by dragging a decent team down to near relegation. We shouldn't go near him.

Yes, he did really well but don't forget that he had a lot of money to spend and the youngsters that were coming out of the youth team at the time were a one off compared to the talent we have available now, none of the current youngsters (Howson included) could hold a light to how good players like Kewell, Smith and Woodgate were at the time. Also, people forget that other young players such as Ferdinand, Bowyer and Bridges were bought with good money, they didn't come up through the ranks. On top of all that he inherited a rock solid back four from George Graham. Having said that, I'd take him back in a heartbeat over Davies, Ince, Warnock or Bruce! Mark K.
