Former Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Barry Douglas made headlines in 2018 when he departed the club to join Leeds United. Recently, he revealed the details surrounding his exit from Molineux Stadium.
Douglas expressed that he felt pushed out by manager Nuno Espirito Santo, who allegedly informed him that he wouldn’t be part of the squad for the upcoming Premier League season. Despite this, Douglas harbors no hard feelings towards Santo, recognizing that it was simply a business decision.
Even though his time at Wolves was brief, Douglas made a lasting impact on the fans. With 39 league appearances and five goals, he played a significant role in their Championship title win and subsequent promotion.
Speaking on the Under the Cosh podcast, Douglas shared his perspective on the situation, emphasizing the lack of loyalty in football and the business aspect of the sport. He ultimately moved to Leeds for £3m, helping them secure promotion to the Premier League.
After a successful spell at Leeds, Douglas is now plying his trade at St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership. He remains motivated and eager to contribute to the team’s development, bringing with him his experience and quality.
Since joining St Johnstone, Douglas has already made his presence felt on the pitch, playing in two games and showcasing his dedication to the game. Despite facing some early setbacks, he is determined to make a positive impact and continue enjoying playing football.
