Pearl Ram Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Can't stand the bloke, hope it goes belly up for him. How he is ever mentioned for the England job is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 i agree mate,i cant see why people rave about him vastly over-rated in my book They rave about him because every club he has joined improved greatly under him and the moment he left they went backwards.. Leicester (2 league cups + PL football), Celtic (titles plus knockout stages of CL) and Villa (3 consecutive 6th place finishes plus league cup final) aren't a shadow now of what they were under him.. He's a brilliant manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilko Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 i dont think he is Normally I'd say it's your opinion mate but to be honest O'Neill's record speaks for itself. As Bris said, every club he's joined has improved and then stagnated as he left. It's a shame he never got to manage a top 4 club in England, deserved a lot more accolades than he got.

uttoxram75 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 He let Rangers off the hook a couple of times while at Celtic, throwing the title away from virtually unassailable positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_ram Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Great manager, a c*nt because of who he played for and managed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsilks Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 He gets results. Many Villa fans didn't actually take to him because of the rather dour brand of football they played. He will steady the ship at Sunderland but they want be the most watchable side in the Premiership. A good manager but certainly not a great one.

CumbrianRam Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 He lacks a plan B, something which managers require these days. He also spent a lot of cash at Villa,. He's a good man manger though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asanovic Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I know a couple of Villa fans who aren't over enamoured with him a) because of the state of the playing squad he left and b ) the style of football they play. Having said that results are much more important for Sunderland so they'll probably be happy enough with a few ugly wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerous Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I like his passion.And lets be honest,we would love him here. Then again I would rather have Alexander Oneill than clough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 He lacks a plan B, something which managers require these days. He also spent a lot of cash at Villa,. He's a good man manger though. He did spend alot of cash but made massive profits on Young, Downing and Milner.. Gareth Barry an LukeYoung improved under him too.. His biggest achievement though must be getting a **** Scottish club into the second round of the chmpions league.. An amazing feat given both Rangers and Celtic don't even qualiify for it these days.. He could do a job at a top 4 club.. Not sure why he left Villa though, he took them as far as he could? So why take over Sunderland? The same will happen again, any decent player he gets will be sold in a flash when the big bucks come rollin in..

Hucknall Ram Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 So he is not going to manage Forest then? 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ph34r' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ph34r:' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerous Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I wonder if he will try and buy emile heskey? Oneill seems to like the bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamikaze Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I think over the years for me he's sounded more and more mentally retarded, to be honest im not sure he has it anymore, players like O'shea and Bentdner wont help him either, but they should have enough to stay up.

Pearl Ram Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I like his passion.And lets be honest,we would love him here. Speak for yourself, O'Neill at Derby would put the tin hat on it for me and that would be my lot with football as a whole. It would be great if he went to Leeds, my two most detestable things in football at the same place, chuck in my dislike for Ken Bates and it would be total hatred for them all.

Gadsby tried to get him here before billy "judas" davies signed. I can think of a lot worse managers we could have here....a lot.one of thems in the job now.
