 The Definitive History of Leeds United - Managers - Jack Taylor (1959-61)
Leeds United had commenced the Fifties as a club full of promise under the charismatic leadership of manager Major Frank Buckley and boasted one of the most exciting talents in the British game in the legendary John Charles.
They had managed to regain their First Division status in 1956, but Charles had long since gone and the club had endured an unfortunate period under the ill fated and short lived regime of Bill Lambton when Jack Taylor arrived at the club in May 1959 to try and resurrect their fortunes.
As Leeds United stumbled erratically to the lower reaches of the Second Division, the directors held a meeting and decided that Taylor's time was up.

 The Definitive History of Leeds United - Managers - Herbert Chapman (1912-19) Part 1
Much of the improvement could be attributed to Chapman's management style: he was a pioneer in introducing regular team talks and planned tactics in consultation with the players.
He quit on 16 December 1919 and became industrial manager of an oil and coke firm in Selby, claiming he had been harshly dealt with by the FA Commission because he was not in office when the payments were allegedly made.
Chapman, inevitably, was the first manager to face the challenge of adapting his tactics to work to the new law.

The Irishman became Leeds United's 19th manager, and the first from the Emerald Isle, when at the age of 40, he accepted the opportunity to succeed his mentor George Graham, who'd returned to London with Spurs, after 25 months at Elland Road.
Eddie is a Leeds legend after an 18 year playing career with the club between 1965-1983, playing 559 games and winning 12 Scottish caps, and then managing the club between 1982 and 1985, when they played some nice football, if to little effect.

Initially their target was the Celtic manager Martin O'Neill, who has regenerated that club and in his peregrinations from Wycombe Wanderers to Norwich and to Leicester City has established himself as one of the finest younger managers in Britain having been an excellent midfielder for Nottingham Forest and Northern Ireland.
Should Leeds have got rid of O'Leary so abruptly even if he made certain definite errors, such as somewhat greedily bringing out a book with a provocative reference to the trial of his Leeds footballers, accused of brutally beating up that poor Asian student outside a night club.
As Tottenham manager Terry had his successful moments, but the team never reached its former heights while his spell in charge overall at Portsmouth was a disaster.
