markavfc40 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 especially if your new bird is a Scottish ginger with no knowledge of football! She's not much of a looker either mate. I'd dump her. http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/3650/scotd.jpg' alt='scotd.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jump you say Randy, well certainly Sir, how high? Surely you can still do that with someone else slightly less crap and cheaper? McCrap werent even cheap - plus given how attendances were always going to evaporate in these times why appoint such an unpopular person? Makes no sense from a business point of view. Seems controversy for the sake of it. Completely idiotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of the two relegations, he actually left the shit as their most successful EVER manager, the relegations say more about the club than the manager IMO.

Morpheus Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Promoting yourself as intelligent does not maketh a good manager. O'Neill has been fooling the general footballing fraternity for years into thinking that he is a good manager who just needed to be given the right funds to build a successful team. He left us in a complete financial mess and will do the same at Sunderland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die_Hard Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Three year contract apparently. What happened to his usual 12 month rolling one? He'll lift Sunderland guaranteed. Another club to compete with now for 8/9th place obscurity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NowDoINotLikeThat Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 He left us in a complete financial mess Thats the boards responsibility. Lerner , Faulkner etc are business men not MON. and btw look at how much the club made from the sales of players like Ashley Young , Milner , Downing etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Probably enough to account for all the wages on shit players he wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 The fact is he'll also be a huge attraction for players coming in to the club. Nearly every player that signed during his time here said that MON was a huge part of it. A really good appointment for Sunderland and who knows maybe he's learnt a bit from the mistakes he made here. Still can't stand for the way he left though.

villianusa Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Happy for him to be back in a job; the Premier League will be better for it. Still can't get over how he planned to do as much harm to the club he could by the way he left. For me that was worse than his part in the finanical mess. He could go some way in repaying us by signing Collins and Petrov from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and the fact that he'd sign them on ridiculous wages has nothing to do with that, it was all because of his managerial ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrees Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 The fact is he'll also be a huge attraction for players coming in to the club. Nearly every player that signed during his time here said that MON was a huge part of it. If you actually look at the so-called 'star' players he certainly attracted Young and did a good job getting him in front of West Ham. Milner was already a Villa player in his head, he was just being held back at Newcastle by Fletcher. Downing was an injured player with half a leg, playing for a relegated club, whose desirability in the transfer market had waned. At the time we were the biggest club in for him who were prepared to pay the huge fee and take the chance. Our biggest star, Barry, didn't want to stick around long in O'Neill's reign, but I think that was down to the player, not the manager. So the players who stated that MON was a huge part were presumably Petrov, Beye, Sidwell, Davis, Harewood, Carew etc., in addition to Ashley Young of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milner was already a Villa player in his head,Not really, we were just the only ones willing to pay 12 million for what was a pretty average winger at Newcastle and for the first 6 months he was here.

maqroll Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 If he replicates his form with us for Sunderland, they'll end up buried in massive wages paid to mostly Championship calibre players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 And then throw a paddy and walk out a few days before the season to make a point, showing the club and fans meant nothing after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
