Martin O'Neill For England!

Nice monkey.... as for the story, it would make sense, he is afterall the messiah and a tactical genius! Actually, in some ways it does make sense for them to go for him again, he's been building the backbone of Villa with future/current England players and possibly one major international job before retirement might tempt him. Could we have Capello in exchange?!

There seem to be a fair few on here who would be glad to see MON go, and I don't think the booing (right or wrong) would make him want to stay. Still, comparing the managerial appointment policies of the relatively successful 'bigger' clubs outside the top four (Everton, etc) and those who are not so successful (Barcodes, Spuds, etc). It is noticeable that those who chop and change managers frequently do not profit from it. You have to get a decent manager - with whatever faults he has - and stick by him.

I would be happy. BUT the season aint over yet. 5th would be acceptable, 6th would be disappointing, 7th and I will be leading the sack O'Neill brigade.........

How can you say you would be happy? Would you rather we had that streak of ***** Redknapp? I remember you saying you thought he was the future Villa manager. I don't understand what makes it so difficult to see, it's stupid to expect a top 4 finish so soon. Just because he's nearly done it we want him gone? I bet if this season Man City had been in our position and we were back in 6th now having never been leading Arsenal people would be saying we'd done a good job considering the money spent by our opposition. And that another season consolidation is acceptable. I'd like to see where Redknapp's got Spurs in a few years, and I'll bet you it's nothing on what MON's done for us with half the budget.

Nazvfc, i agree but that isnt the issue here, its not the players its the management, PTP, I never said I wanted Redknapp, i said I reckoned he would be the next Villa boss, he loves talking about us in every interview he does!! MON aint the man for the job, but I so hope he proves me wrong, and as I said in the article abouyt Lerner, i have faith that Lerner will make the right decision about whether he wants O'Neill or not and will make the decision that is right for the club. Shall i **** off and support the blues? No, because I love the club just as much as any of you. I am so so sorry that I hate going to Villa park each week to watch the dross football that MON has us playing, and you can **** off if you think I don't support the team, i turn up every week. My patience with O'Neill's tactical inabilities are wearing thin though. He needs to sort it out, we running out of games!!! Now, how do i get to St Andrews?

The Establishment would never allow O'Neill to manage England.

anyone who would be happy if O'Neill left can truly just ***** off.

Gabby is MON's man, he believes he will be our star player in years to come and he wants to keep him here. Whatever happens Gabby's going to play when fit and if it works out we'll all have the eggy face. I actually think we look stronger at the back with Nige on the right and Young on the left than with Shorey in. Shoreys decent going forward but Luke is a better left back. He needs to trust them and obviously he doesn't, I just think in the bigger picture he get's it right. When he has his full squad I believe he will do it for us no matter how much Man City spend, what ever Everton are doing and not worrying about if Spurs ever shape up. In the bigger picture MON is a great manager and we'll just have to put up with his changes because he's not going anywhere

Not sure if MON would want this job. He likes the day to day involvement in the game.

I think you will find YJ fickle means; Changable in one loyalties. Your loyalties have changed towards MON, that in it's very nature is fickle my friend! You clearly feel slightly uncomfortable with the fickle word. so much so you felt the need to respond to a generic post. I said some of the Villa faithful are fickle very fickle. If you feel that was directed at you then i'm affraid it say's more about you than me. I support Aston Villa and who ever wears the badge. The treatment of some of the Villa staff over recent weeksand days is disgraceful. lets put this into some sort perspective. Two years ago we was relegation fodder, two years on we a real forth spot contenders. we have failed to win in recent games. We are fifth and still have a good chance of forth. To leap all over MON at this stage is nothing short of madness. I remember a certain Sir Alex Furguson was one game away from the sack. The rest is history!!!! MON is a great manager and remains a great mangers. |One swallow doesn't make a summer, in the same way one snow flake doesn't a winter make! If MON leaves Those who booed and and cheered with sarcasim should be very ashamed. He will be missed by you all if he leaves. Mark my words!!!
