Sifu Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 So will O'Neill actually be given a £40 million transfer kitty in January as rumoured? Nah. Can you imagine if he did get a big transfer budget, he would waste it all signing players like Heskey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
summerof69 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Hopefully, though i do worry that he could do a similar job with them that he did with Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some of their over paid shite, which there is a canny selection of tbf. They are good players, and they are the type of players they need and he'd like (IMO) but they'll cost a bomb in January, all 3 would be double figures, all 3 would quickly finish off any £40m transfer kitty. If they don't go out and make a big statement like that, the club will continue its decline, and come the summer when players have more choice sunderland will be left scraping the barrel with Manure dregs looking for a final payday, and MoN will be out the door soon after, probably of his own accord.

Guest Recoba Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 What the hell does marra mean anyway? I presume it's mate but just looks so daft. Met quite a few mackems and never heard one say it. They seem to love it on messageboards. Only been to Wearside for work, in and out as fast as I could and never heard it then either.

Cronky Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I've always liked O'Neill and, at the right time, he'd have been perfect for us. But I'm not sure he's got the appetite now for another job like Sunderland. The best you could call it is a sideways move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chubby Jason Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 O'Neill is a very good manager and has proven that wherever he has been. Can we stop pretending he's crap just because he's been linked with Sunderland? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Nobody has said he's crap, but he does have faults like the Villa fan (who watched a MON team for 4 years) has listed in detail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chubby Jason Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Of course he has faults, all managers do. He's the best they could do though and would be a massive improvement on Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 That's pretty much what everybody has said. I think his faults will stick out more at Sunderland than they did at Villa. It's a considered prediction, not writing him off just because he's signing for Sunderland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't call him crap though, did he? It was an observation that has some credence and evidence to it. It's a point about his limitations, similar to saying he doesn't think outside the box with regards to signings, or plays football a certain way. I don't think there's a single person on here that thinks Bruce is a better or even equivalent manager. That said, I'm interested to see how he will go about the Sunderland job for a number of reasons that I've posted. No different to people saying that O'Shea and Brown were bad or average signings over the summer when all their fans were creaming themselves about their experience and reputation.

Dave Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 O’Neill will expect to be given a sizeable transfer kitty ahead of the January window and proof that Short will genuinely back him should he relocate to the North East. Sources have suggested the kitty is likely to be around £15 million and the Northern Irishman will also want guarantees that more money will be made available in the summer.
