New ex-players (and managers) thread

How much shit would we get as a club if we sacked a manager after 5 months. The media would be all over us. It would be snakes snakes snakes.

Yes but Nottingham Forest are irrelevant so nobody gives a flying shit
 
There probably ends the sad deterioration of a once great manager.

Unfortunately he was unable to truly 'destroy and exit' at his final club. Just a bit meh.

We had his greatest days and boy were they tremendous. He should retire to the TV studios now where he would be a good listen.

I can wish him well again now
Steady now. Destroy and exit? He’s not Steve McClaren
 
To be fair to O'Neill he easily could have been sacked at Leicester too in the early going. It certainly took some patience from the club (more than the fans showed at the time). He went to a club that is burning through managers at a ridiculous rate.

His last two club appointments have been Sunderland and Forest. Nobody in their right mind would describe those clubs as functional or well run. Would be very hard to succeed at either place.

It's certainly possible he's a completely spent force, or a relic of a previous time...but I think using Forest and Sunderland as the sticks by which to beat him might not be entirely fair.

I hate to speak ill of the great MON, but I think that they're the only clubs that have wanted to hire him says quite a lot though, to be fair.
 


Spotted Darius Vassel in that line up too
 
Is that Gary Flitcroft next to Nige?
