Leeds Could Have Had Me - McSheffrey

Last updated : 01 November 2010 By Covsupport News Service
Coventry City wide man Gary McSheffrey has said that Leeds United, who travel to the Ricoh Arena on Saturday could have signed him.

Speaking to the CT, McSheffrey, who notched his fourth goal of the season on Saturday said: "They had first dabs on me to stay there. "Michael Doyle played 55 games for them last year and I think the first two signings they should have made in the summer were me and Doyler.

"But Simon Grayson and his staff didn't want me - it's as simple as that.

"I haven't spoken to him since I left, which I find a bit disappointing on a man-to-man basis. "You expect better man management really, a bit more respect, but that's all in the past now and there are no sour grapes.

"I took a hell of a wages drop to come back to Coventry on a one-year contract but it has proved a great decision for me - I would rather play for less money and be part of something where I'm wanted than playing somewhere where I'm not really rated.

"It's been great to get my game back on track and score some goals but, more important, be part of a decent team.

"The defence and goalkeeper are playing out of their skin and we have got players in the team who can score goals and win games, so there is a good balance here now.

"Nobody's getting carried away, but we're certainly heading in the right direction."
