I'd imagine they could find a manager with some pedigree to take over the job next, the problem of course is what that guy inherits. The big concern for the Mackems (the sensible ones that is...............) is the O'Neill legacy. It's absolutely dire. He's paying overrated, old players top dollar. Inheriting a squad with players like Cuellar (31), O'Shea (31), Titus (31), Brown (32), Bardsley (28), Vaughan (29), Saha (34) and even Sessegnon (28) just shouts out a massive lack of sustainability. Unless their owner is literally going to throw good money after bad, how do you turn that situation around? You sell. Who do you sell? Johnson, Fletcher and potentially Cattermole are their only players worth anything. Their next appointment is going to have to be an absolute masterstroke and somebody capable of not only getting a team performing but building an entire infrastructure (scouting networks etc etc) to enable them to compete. I'd be massively concerned if I was a Mackem. Edit - there's a reason Lambert, AVB and Rodgers were given jobs this summer. All relatively young, all play good football but arguably all appointed with a (very?) long term vision. That's to build what I have outlined above. They've all replaced yesterdays men. Old school football men. Redknapp, Daglish and McCleish. Rightly or wrongly, he's seen as a long term appointment by them. My point was that O'Neill is now a 'yesterday man' of football. The implication being he'll leave the Mackems in a stinking state.

Agree.

That was talking about Atromitos game. Not this one.

Unlucky Big Sho.

Or dinked it through to an on-rushing Gosling.

Good football there.

He's made of glass is the Vuc.

This boy can play.

Olly Bernard. Like a fucking rabbit in the headlights. Daft greedy cunt should never have fucked off from us and ESPN think his opinion matters. Get to fuck.

:lol:

Kicking off with their slimy cunts off the bench.

+1.

BTW, loved the way Bigi proper Tiote'd the kid. Full tilt, straight in. I like this kid.

Daft Austrian cunt.

Never a booking.

What a ball Bigi.

Yes.

Good header from Perch there.

Keeper beaten all ends up there.

Does anyone else reckon that pitch might be a bit hard? FFS.

Bigi whips in a good ball.

Elliot is Schmeical Mk11 tonight. And I don't mean that daft son of his.

What's the word on why he's travelled home? Wife giving birth. That's no excuse. Considering there's ample room for her to simply give birth in the stands, I have to agree. Exactly. Stick her in the corner, behind a flag and job's a good'un. Jesus was born next to a cow, ffs. She could pop a kid out no problem at the stadium. They're soft. That's what it is. Tend to agree Miko. Attention seeking. Plain and simple.
