Seems a good fit right now. Thoughts (other than Homer's pithy remarks and Gwilliam's long and dull thoughts) ?

Tits are nice

This is one case where I'll take long and dull over short and dull anytime.

This video is pretty great too. Not many tits though.

Graham Fenton, Stuart Wilson ... I think there were quite a few.

Ian Rush played for Leeds ... who knew?

Everyone except you. We kept it a secret just in case you found a way to use it against us.

Ian Rush played for Leeds ... who knew?

Shit! You found out!

I bet you're going to use it against us now. We're doomed!

So many good memories, good find that.

I love MON for what he achieved in those years. I'm not too enammered about his potential return though.

 

[PFKAKTF FOX]

Perfect choice for me, superb track record has managed at the highest level and has proven, with his time at Villa, that he can improve a team with money.

As for tactically I don't think he has lost it, formations come and go, but our current squad are very similar in style to how has has liked his teams to set up and play. His approach to sports science will be critical and hopefully he will embrace the current set up.

I see a lot of similarities with Pearson, both seem to have a similar man management styles and both built squads based on tight knit team spirit, containing young hungry players and a smattering of experienced pro's with a point to prove. Both managers expect their teams to have a strong work ethic and work rate off the ball particularly important.

I actually think MON is a brilliant replacement and provides some form of continuity in terms of outlook and style, he would have the support of the majority of our fans and I think the players would be behind him.

As for spoiling what he achieved previously, nothing can ever take those achievements away and I honestly believe that given the resources available MON can have a successful 2nd spell at the club much in the same way Pearson enjoyed success when he returned.

^^^^^ this.

Well Homer I find myself in good company - Homer rules.

Despite Joe's churlish beginning there have been some serious posts. I found PFKAKTF especially interesting; bear with it to the end Joe.

Martin O'Neill has three virtues. He has a long track record. He will be credible with the players. He is popular with the fans - important when replacing a generally popular manager.

 

[Mawsley]

How does one 'lose it' with regards to tactics and how can a manager be 'past his prime'?

 

[spionfox]

How does one 'lose it' with regards to tactics.....

I know somebody who did just that away at Villa in the cup last season.

Mobile Tapatalk users, you do know you can change this bit don't you?!
