Martin fucking O'Neil 😠😠😠😠

 

Least he can play Jimmy mac week in week out. Even if he loses his legs.

Villas-Boas is being mentioned on twitter... he’s come out and said his mind’s made up where his future lies after Sunday’s season finale in China. Probably people seeing this comment and 2+2=5 but as likely as any I suppose (and a lot easier to digest rather than O’Neill/Keane combo!)

It’s an attractive option for a manager.

Come to a team that has a squad of players that should be top 8, but are performing like a relegation team. All you need to do is get them motivated again and the points should come.

It shouldn’t be a hard job, and I would be surprised if any manager would turn down the opportunity.

It really, really isn't a top 8 squad. Forget reputations, transfer fees, salaries - just watch us play. And it has become a very hard job. How to turn around a massive fuck up with an overrated, dispirited squad with major holes in key positions

If it’s him and Roy Keane I’ll never go the game again while any of this board are at the club - and I mean that.

What an absolute shit show this whole thing has been.

Moshiri says hes got a short list of three, has any of them been named. ??

If you're having to ask then that probably answers your question for you, Bill!

The squad is fucked. Some of these new signings are on £100k a week compared to the regulars like Coleman who earn less than half of that. We have a big problem with pay disparity now, unlike Spurs who have a strict wage structure and players all earning very similar wages.

We don't need "top" players who are Prima Donnas who demand top top wages. We need to nip this in the bud now. We need players that command wages around £60-70k and can boost the overall quality of the squad.

if this is the true state of affairs then I agree totally

I don't understand how we are 'close' to getting a manager yet there is a shortlist of 3 candidates. 

[Matt]

Reminds me very much of Man City under Hughes, signing mediocre players for massive sums and putting them on big wages. Took them a few seasons to recover fully from that

[Palfy]

Martin O'Neil firm favourite with the bookies now I think we will hear something  just before tomorrow's game, my mate played under him at Wycombe wanderers reckons he's a good coach and the lads loved him mind you that was years ago, anyway rather him than fat Sam.

[Bailey]

Please God no

[Bill]

that wouldn't be a very good move especially if he wants Keane with him.  

[Bill]

Just found this not sure if there is any truth in it .......

Please no MON

At least Pardew is out of the picture.

Watching soccer Saturday I know it's just opinions but the pundits rate Rafa one of the top managers around as do I, wonder if he was ever contacted or even considered, if not get on with it Moshiri cause some of the names being bandied about are scary.

There have been a few of us rooting for Rafa on here since RK was sacked.

[EFC-Paul]

Can't stand O'Neil he's like a cross between Moyes and Tootles (lost boy) an absolute numbty 

Hopefully it's Silva or someone similar  

[Isaiah]

Rafa 0 - 3 Silva so far...

Been thinking this too for a few weeks.

It's an a very similiar scenario. Remember Robinho was that big break signing, didn't last long.

I hope its Silva.

[Finn balor]

Silva is impressive.

The same people who hope it's Silva are the same people who hated Martinez. This is somewhat ammusig to me, as they are identical.... Silva took his tram to Stamford bridge and should have won by a mile with the chances they created... But what happened was he had an inept defense who conceeded in the last ten minutes and ended up losing two goal lead. They then go to goodison and do exactly the same. They are so alike BUT he looks the part, same as Martinez 'Bobby brown shoes'.... So Yerrrr let's get him.....makes me laugh all this.

I am so surprised that you are harking back to Martinez, you hardly ever mention him......

Martinez dragged Wigan down since he took over, Silva has improved Watford, they were 17th last season and now they are 8th and have been consistently top half all season.

If we get him he will be a success here, you can vault me on it.

And he took hull down.

Hull were doomed from the moment the owner ran off, they sold their best players and they went on a loosing streak. I think someone said they won 2  before Silva and 8 after he joined them, and played much better football.

He had enough points left to save them. Poor excuse. The same excuse you could use for saying Martinez won silverware with Wigan and kept them in the top flight for much longer than anyone expected.

Sir Alex Ferguson in his pomp wouldn't have kept hull up. Did you see their position??? 1 win in 8 games. He got them 8 in 22... nearly kept them up and not by playing shit house football either.
