momo Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 The Midlander: Was O'Neill a good Villa boss? Let's end this debate once and for all... by Neil Moxley of the Daily Mail He fogot to mention all the other clubs that spent more on transfers/wages, and that already had bigger and better squads than Villa's. It is not black and white. O'Neill did a good job. That's why all of us were so furious when he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanvilla_1994 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I agree MON did a good job but I'd say most were furious when he left because of the manner that he did it. Had he left at the end of the season I'd have said thanks for everything and good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were furious because he left 5 days before the start of a new seaosn and dropped us in the shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 And we agreed to settle outside of court because he simply quit 5 days before the season starts. Yep, that makes perfect sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually people and companies settle things outside of court because it can be cheaper than going through the whole process in courts, also the whole thing becomes public and certain media latch into every little thing etc and so on.

Big_John_10 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 But surely if the club was 100% right and MoN simply quit 5 days before the season started none of that would matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the club won it still would've been a long and expensive process. It's quite telling that a someone as malicious as O'Neill would settle out of court. If he had a strong case I'm pretty sure he would've gone all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Someone as malicious as MON? Yes he does this all the time doesn't he. He took the case to the courts, if he had simply walked out 5 days before the season started I don't see why the club wouldn't see it through. At the end of the day Aston Villa paid compensation to him, if we'd really done nothing wrong how weak and pathetic is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it would be a long drawn out process! And if O'Neill was sure that we did something wrong why did he settle out of court? I don't see why he wouldn't see it through.

VillaChris Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Apparently Fletcher limped off injured. They're fcuked if he's out for a while. In for a long hard season, even during our good seasons we still had periods when we went 2 months without a win which showed to me MON wasn't this wonder manager people at the time made him out to be.

VillaChris Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Also meant to say aswell it wouldn't surprise me if he was sacked/walked away some point during this season. I really don't think he's enjoying it that much at Sunderland save for them being his boyhood club. I think he realises his last chance of being in the managerial big time was with us.

Jarpie Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 If Fletcher is injured for longer time, Sunderland will be in plenty of trouble. They did play better against Everton but I can see them in bottom five when coming to january, and if they hit the "MON Slump" in spring they will be relegation candidates.

PompeyVillan Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 He's missing John Robertson. Sunderland lack any kind of sparkle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
