Bazdavies79 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Yeah, we've come on leaps and bounds in terms of how the club is run. It's a tough call at the moment as to whether we have improved managerially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Right.......O'Neill hasnt done a better job than O'Leary then............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazdavies79 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 No, not really. It's close call, but no, I wouldn't say so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 No, not really. It's close call, but no, I wouldn't say so. Eh? What? Fo real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 No, not really. It's close call, but no, I wouldn't say so. If only we had realised at the time and hung on to DOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazdavies79 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 DOL kept the club ticking over during one of the most turbulent periods of it's history and achieved 2 respectable positions. His last season would have been better except he was not allowed to strengthen in Jan. Which incidentally was the major factor in the player revolt, which is often wrongly blamed on DOL, IMO. MON has a totally different job of returning the club to former glories. He's doing ok so far, without setting the world alight. So for me it's a close call between the 2.

ahamaad Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 The comparison is not a fair one. DOL had bugger all to spend, even the time when Ellis said we were going to spend mega it turned out to be a net £4 million or so. Different board, different circumstances, and 1) Laursen is fit 2) Bouma got used to the Premier League 3) Gabby coming through 4) Ashley Young 9 million we would never have spent that under Ellis etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOL's performance = 1st season, 6th; 2nd season, 10th; 3rd season, 16th. The risk is: what is the next number in this sequence? At least MON got usback up to 11 the next season.

Richard Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 No comparison really. The aforementioned manager has been out of work for 18 months and not one sniff of a new job. Martin Oneill was linked to most of the top jobs on our league whilst he was out of work and even before. He has since been linked to Liverpool and England. Previous manager is still scouring the situations vacant at the job centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSufferingVilla Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 For **** sake the players couldn't stand O'Leary they didn't like the man nor his style. Most of our good players would have walked had O'Leary stuck around. O'Neill had a hell of a job convincing them to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will87 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 MON is the better manager, but I think DOL did better in the transfer window than MON has done so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 You can't compare the two. MON's had money, DOL didn't. When D'OL did have money (at Leeds) he did well. I'd still rather have MON though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
