Re: O'Neil To Go Full Circle
Mongie or not. I'd love it.
Always been a massive fan of his, obviously.
I know that isn't the popular stance on here (seems more fun to go after his ego, gang of four, quitter, moaner, clough wannabe angle) but I truly regard him as a city legend and an excellent manager.
So there.

And of course, I'm aware this speculation is pure bollocks. But at this point allowing myself to drift off into far-flung imaginary dreamscapes beats dealing with the reality.

Are people honestly that blinded by MON's success here that they think he could be a genuine contender for the ManUtd job?
He is nowhere near of the standard, nor has the record to manage one of Europe's top clubs. ManUtd would probably laugh his application out of office.

Are you forgetting his success with Villa?

You mean squandering millions upon millions of pounds on average players. Roughly spending the same amount as ManUtd or Arsenal on transfers in his reign there and still never finishing above 6th?
Hardly what I'd call success.

Actually just looking through soccerbase, he spent a good £12million more on transfers than Arsenal did during his 4 years there!

I thought he did a terrific job at Villa. At the conclusion of his reign had they spent or sold more money? Just honestly wondering, don't know the answer.
Let's see how Villa fare over the next few years (my bet is they don't finish anywhere near sixth for a while).

MONs record cannot be discounted what he did at Leicester and Celtic, getting them to the UEFA Cup final, was exceptional.
Time will tell if his spell at Villa will be judged as a success relatively.
I would interested in your views as to who would be a contender for the Manure job?

How come they still haven't run the story about Howard having a brace of penises then?

Thanks for the tip I will have a go at the Euro millions myself.

Better than Matt Gillies?
I would say yes because he won us 2 trophies and 1 promotion

Interesting comparison Jeff - do you think The League in the 60s was easier than The Prem of the 90s?
