O'Leary's View on the Return of Turner

In advance of Saturday's game against his former club, Stephen O'Leary has been telling the Telegraph and Argus all about Graham Turner and his return to the dug-out.

"I’m sure he was itching to get involved again," said the Bradford midfielder.

"He stepped down a couple of games from the end last year but it must have been so hard for him just being the chairman after so long as manager.

"He knows his stuff and has done a really good job there in past years. He runs quite a tight ship and is good with the finances.

"Hereford is a really small homely town, so they did well to get out of this division last time. But last year there just wasn’t enough in the dressing room to stay up in League One.

"There was a massive turnover last year and the club tried to spend a bit of money on wages. But it didn’t work so they had to get a few players out and they’ve struggled a bit this year."

What about Saturday's game?

"We’ve gone win, loss, win, loss lately but I’m confident. Hereford are on a bad run, so we can go there really positive.”
