Looking for another big adventure? David O’Leary wants to
return as manager of Leeds

"I have just a sneaky feeling deep, deep down that some time
along the way I might get back there and manage them, and if
I do I will be absolutely delighted. I didn't want to leave
the place and if I was asked again - if I could sit down
with the right people and talk to them - yes, I would take
it again without a doubt."

Speaking on Radio 5 Live, he denied responsibility for the
debts:

"People say I spent £90m but I recouped over £70m of that.
In the Champions League we made nearly £20m, and the year
before that in the Uefa Cup it was about £7m. The commercial
side of the club had never been bigger. We bought well and
we sold well and to get the debts we have, I mean the
figures just don't add up."
