"Leeds need to stay out of the papers. I raised the profile of the club that made us attractive and we were going along very well until a certain incident came along two years into my reign and the club changed into so many other different things.
"I think we would have won the league only for that (the court case). We led the league two years back up to March and then ran out of steam, getting involved in a Uefa Cup semi-final. I want them to do well. They are players that are very, very good players."
Unfortunately for the validity of O'Dreary's assertion it seems the court case finished last December and they were actually top of the league until January which was when their slide started.
