Well Sullivan nails that one, kissing and telling Dale, "the one player he wanted was Benni McCarthy ... Seriously, he said 'You get me Benni McCarthy and I will keep you up.' He would have loved a more expensive player, but if we had two or three million to spend he said get McCarthy and he’ll keep us up."
So, if we can believe Sullivan, we can put that debate to bed. But I accept that there is a problem with Dale's serialised interview, and that is whether or not we can trust what Sullivan is saying. Some of us remember the in bed with Duxbury epic and 90% of that proved to be bullshit. And Dale and WHTID have never acknowledged that they allowed themselves to be duped and simply fed propaganda to the masses.
That said, Sullivan's interview does appear disarmingly frank - he even admits to his own mistakes and that is something Duxbury would never do!

I bet Dale doesn't come here though.....
Spot on regarding the Duxbury comment, I remember many being duped by his interview with Dale. Lets hope Sulivan is being abit more honest.
It is also obvious that if he could get away with it, Sulivan would do away with having a manager & take care of things himself.
He does 1807, and so does Chandos, who has posted comments. This site became quite a topic of conversation on WHTID - lots of hatred of course!
Sullivan lie? Never He's is just arrogant enough to preach the gospel truth today and then just rewrite the gospel so his word is always gospel
I think the Sullivan interview is good overall but but Iain Stewart isn’t vigorous enough.
As an example, in one of the first parts Sullivan talks about the situation where we had a manager who agreed to join us (obviously Martin O’Neill) but when it got out in the press he decided not to take the job. We were stuck with Grant for the rest of the season and we went down.
Sullivan should have been asked how it got out in the press, ie who leaked the story, but Stewart didn’t press this.
Dale mate, but I take your point.
Doh! Iain Stewart is our local MP. My only feeble excuse is that, like Dale, he's a Tory.
