Dwight Yorke has opened up on his farcical end in the Australian A-League after the Manchester United hero watched players’ contracts ripped up and seeing himself barred from the premises.
The English Premier League great recently applied for the vacant post at Scottish Premiership side Aberdeen after time at MacArthur, who he took charge of in July 2022, winning the 2022 Australia Cup Final. He left in January of this year, events kicking off with striker Anthony Carter telling him that his contract had been ripped up by Bulls bosses. Yorke claims he's heard nothing from either owner Gino Marra or CEO Sam Krslovic since and hasn't even returned to base to clear his desk and gather belongings after an outburst of rage following a 1-0 defeat to Adelaide United.
Yorke has told FTBL of the bizarre circumstances behind his exit at a club that he has described as a ''Mickey Mouse slash pub team', with thoughts now turning to his next gig. He said: “It was the most ridiculous thing and I knew nothing about it. It showed a total lack of empathy to the player, was disrespectful to me and unprofessional by the club. Anthony travelled with us, did the team talk, trained well, looked good - and suddenly he’s on a plane back to Sydney. And nobody has the decency to call and explain what’s behind it all.
