How can anyone avoid the stone blind obvious... where do you think the fans frustration has come from having spunked a kings ransom on players who we have just got nothing from... either sold for nothing or left having no effect on the performance of the team.... for sure the other 2 have had an effect, but the other 2 hav'nt had 4 years to blow most of their transfer money on players with low technical ability....albeit managed to dabble a bit.
are you just in denial, Briny People who seek to blame MON for everything that is wrong with AVFC are the ones in denial. He was set a task of quickly getting us to challenge for top 4. He had a go and didn't quite make it. End of story. Anyone who can twist the story to claim he is responsible for the fact that fans regularly slag off each other, the players, coaching staff and chairman/board are being inventive in the extreme. Apart from anything else, this has been going on since well before MON's time. Remember "We're not fickle, O'Leary..."?
(Also, if it was appropriate to discuss O'Neill in this thread, I would have to raise a few issues with your rather one-eyed account of his transfer policy and the value of the players he bought.)
nice
