  Graham Taylor (football manager) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Graham Taylor OBE (born September 15, 1944, Worksop, Nottinghamshire) is a football manager and a former player.
Taylor was the youngest person to become a FA coach, at the age of 21.
Taylor also agreed to be filmed during the world cup qualification campaign for a Channel 4 fly on the wall documentary in which his portrayal further undermined his authority.

 David O'Leary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When the former Arsenal manager George Graham was put in charge at Leeds United in September 1996, O'Leary was installed as his assistant.
He was hot favourite to become manager of Sunderland when Peter Reid was sacked in October and again when Howard Wilkinson was sacked in March.
O'Leary remained at Villa and managed to get an already good squad to perform successfully so that by the final weeks of the season they were pushing hard for at least a UEFA Cup place and possibly even a Champions League place.

 Fulham Football Club Archived News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Taylor estimated that Fulham already have three players of FA Carling Premiership quality, although he preferred not to name them.
The player clutching the man-of-the-match champagne, though, was Hayles, and he paid tribute to his team-mates and the management regime for improving his touch and creating a team in which it has been easy for him to shine.
Taylor was asked whether he had been able to enjoy Fulham’s football from a purist standpoint, but declined to join the Hallelujah chorus.

 Blind, Stupid and Desperate - Watford FC site - Tributes - Graham Taylor
Although the extra qualities that Graham Taylor has brought to Watford - humanity, humility, humour, to name but three - may no longer be considered important in the brave new world of the Premiership, they're the absolute essence of what makes football such a vital part of so many lives.
With Graham Taylor at the helm, Watford was (and is) allowed to dream, to submit to an innocent belief in infinite possibility.
We rose by playing football that appeared to be exploiting a loophole in the laws of the game (surely attacking like lunatics and trying to score thirty-seven goals in every match was, at the very least, not sporting?) and that delighted as many as it offended.

 TheFA.com - Football's New Year Honours
Taylor retired from football management in may after a 36 year career in the game, including coaching spells at Lincoln, Watford, Aston Villa and Wolves.
He was appointed England manager in 1990, succeeding Bobby Robson, after great success in management with Watford, who he took through the divisions to he runners-up spot in the old Football League Division One, and then Aston Villa.

Former England manager Graham Taylor has given his full support to the latest man to follow in his footsteps.
He knows from bitter experience that the men in charge of English football are sure to become the objects of ridicule at some stage.
But Taylor's apparent shock at the harsh realities of the football dressing room is not enough to change his opinion of the film.

 Singer & Friedlander Football Review 1997-98 Season
Graham Taylor: I was signed as a professional by the manager of Grimsby, Tim Ward.
Football management is all about managing people and at the age of 28, I don't think that it's possible to understand the psychology of your fellow human-beings.
Again, in international football the pressurising of the player on the ball is not as intense as it is in our domestic competition and there is a greater variation in the tempo of the game.

 Scotland on Sunday - Sport - Football - Taylor clocks out as another manager fails the old grey whistle test   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Six years out of club management as he ran the FA’s technical department, he apparently only landed the job because the Sunderland chairman had rung him to ask for advice about who was the best manager around and he had offered himself up for the task of saving the club from relegation.
Taylor cited the intolerable strain of trying to work with a board who would not back his judgement as his reason for going.
Taylor wanted Alpay, the Turkish defender, Juan Pablo Angel, the Colombian striker, and Bosko Balaban, allegedly a Serbian forward, though no-one has seen hide nor hair of him in action for months, removed on free transfers so that he could bring in some players of his own.

 VFC Press Release: Reaction To GT Resignation || Villa-Mania - Unofficial Aston Villa News and Views
That is not to say we have been satisfied with the record of Mr Taylor, but we feel that the board have once again deflected blame from their inability to not only chose the right manager but to back him.
Graham Taylor has made it clear that he has not left due to playing results stating "Contrary to what may be perceived playing results are not the reason for my resignation and I had always believed that last season was going to be one of transition, particularly in respect of emerging young players."
VFC would like to thank Graham Taylor for the efforts that he has put in and for the dignity he has shown in resigning due to the failure of the board to back him.

 Graham Taylor calls for Doug Ellis to step down - Aston Villa Football Blog
This will be a kick in the teeth for the chairman who considers Taylor a friend but Taylor seems to be shooting from the hip when he was talking to Sky Sports.
Taylor told Sky Sports "I'm very worried about Villa ever being again a dominant Premiership club, because the only way they are going to do it is to have a change at the very top.
Now that Taylor has come out against his former employer it's only a matter of time before Ellis does something to appease the fans; let's hope it's the right thing and O'Leary is gone.

 Singer & Friedlander Football Review 1998-99 Season
The current intense identification of managers with the fortunes of their clubs contrasts sharply with the origins of football management.
The Football League was established in 1888, but in terms of managing its affairs and its workforce, football administrators, in a sense, had to make it up as they went along.
British management, in general, was based on the tradition of the 'practical man' which continued throughout the twentieth century.

For in all Graham's years as a revered and feared football manager at Arsenal and Leeds he has shied away from putting his hand in his pocket and spending big on a single star player.
But while Graham lamented the squander which he reckons has cost Tottenham at least six points so far this season it was left to Watford manager Graham Taylor to annunciate the crucial financial decisions which have to be made at White Hart Lane.
As it happens Graham has one player in David Ginola who must be the envy of even the biggest clubs, even if Graham admitted last week that his flamboyant Frenchman often makes him feel like tearing out what is left of his thinning hair.

Graham Taylor was followed by the cameras for what was initially planned to be a story about England’s path to the '94 World Cup Finals.
Bassett visiting the last England manager in hospital is very funny however, and the “where are they now” version of the ending is also very good, although after listening to the main commentary I can fully understand why they went with the other version.
