Ginko Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'm so tired of the endless talk of O'Neill there is literally nothing left to be said. The ghost of MON needs exercising I think it will take another 24 months Oh I don't know, he's not that out of shape is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I'm so tired of the endless talk of O'Neill there is literally nothing left to be said.Everything that needs to be said about MON can probably be gleaned by perusing Sunderland's record since 11 December 2010. Played 9 league games, won 6, drawn 1, lost 2. .Prior to that their record was played 14, won 2, drawn 5, lost 7 How badly we are missing that sort of magic at Villa right now!

Morpheus Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Yes but he left us skint with vastly overpaid rubbish in our squad that nobody wants and after been given 100+million to spend what did we win, eh, nothing. Even fecking AM won a League Cup without the sort of financial backing O'Neill got with a relegation team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tezzaleed Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hurray he's gone, at last. So everythings all right again now isn't it. We can start buying decent players again now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I assume we have, but is there solid confirmation on us having simply paid up the remainder of his contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Can I just say he certainly wasn't one of the worst full backs we've had in the last 10 years. He did have some good games for us. However he's a symbol of the bad points to Mon's management. Why sign a 32 year old on 40k a week when Luke Young was at the club and then it was decided that Cuellar would play most of the season at RB anyway.

Pez1974 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I assume we have, but is there solid confirmation on us having simply paid up the remainder of his contract? Purely a guess, but I expect we have paid him most of what he would earn, him taking a hit for the ability to go to a club as a free agent and get wages that way. If we have paid him in full when we could have sent him out on loan and recovered some of the wages, someone needs shooting. Where's my gun!

Even fecking AM won a League Cup without the sort of financial backing O'Neill got with a relegation team!We've had this stuff over and over again. I know the spin the board has put out about MON off by heart so I don't need to hear it again. I'm just saying, look at what he has done for Sunderland in nine matches. BTW, you need to look upwards to see this because they are now well above us in the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyBM Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 tbh, theres no need to be harsh about is ability, we all know that he wasnt quite good enough for the level that we wanted, its unfortunate that he wasnt given the chance, but still, these things do happen, hes getting on now so i hope he can find another peak of ability before he is set to retire shame he wasnt good enough but we did need to get him off the books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 A really strange decision to give him such money and a mistake no doubt. I wonder how much MON knew about our wages to income ratio at the time of signing him and I still think the man who should know more about it has to take some of the blame. It's ridiculous that an average player can earn so much doing nothing. As for MON, he left us with a squad that had just earned the clubs highest points total in years while challenging for two cups. He left us with a LB that made the world cup squad, a defender just voted into the prem team of the year and a back 4 that made sure only 4 teams let in less goals than us over an entire season. He also left us with two of the best wingers in the league. You can blame him for wasting money and the time of his departure but it's not his fault the following managers ripped out most of the fight and passion from the team and can't get the players to perform as well as they did under him.

coda Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 £48k/week is the highest figure I have seen in this thread. Can anyone confirm how much he was on at Villa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
