Interpolic Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Collymore is a complete idiot. One manager appointment and Sunderland automatically go above a side that has only lost once this season (away to the 1st placed team)? Sums Collymore up right there. He's employed by Talksport - his job is to come up with sensationalist, attention-grabbing statements that he's not really that likely to get called up on later.

He's a class A dickhead of the highest order, he'll talk utter shite to anyone who'll listen. I admire him for his frankness about his battle with depression, especially in his position, but apart from that there is fuk all going for him.

Dokko Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Not even slightly worried. If we have anything about us it should push Ashley & co on to securing his targets early in the transfer window and keep a hold of his best players. Do that and there is nothing to worry about. Any problems will be of our own doing. Lucky Sunderland as they haven't got anyone worth paying over £6m for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Just to make this clear. If he gets that job, you as Newcastle fans, can prepare for a few years of deeply, deeply irritating press coverage. You've lost the media battle right now.

alexthegreat Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 O'Neill has agreed to join according to BBC. Think he'll improve them - though he couldn't make them any worse than they are at the moment. But I don't think hes clever enough either tactically or in the transfer market to ever go beyond being the 'best of the rest', and I don't think he'll get the funds to make up for those deficiences. Don't think he'll leave much of a legacy either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucaAltieri Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Haven't seen enough of MONs teams to really have much of an opinion. Since Leicester he hasn't been anything above average, has he? Decent with Celtic, decent with Villa, but neither performed above reasonable expectations. He's also a dour fuck. Not particularly bothered. We'll still batter them again in March.

mrmojorisin75 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=647861&page=22 He gets the best out of normally average players. sums up o'neill for me, same with every club he's been at sunderland have plenty of average players ergo i think they'll improve in comparison to how bruce had them playing but that'll be it under MON - mid table maybe top half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 One journalist's view on O'Neill in terms of his dealings with the press: @GrahamSpiersLucky Sunderland if they get Martin O’Neill.

Getting Celtic to the UEFA Cup final was pretty impressive, he's a bastard for a Carling Cup final too. All in all I think it's a good appointment although I think Hughes would have been better.

ExiledGeordie Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 He'll get them playing with more spirit and will no doubt do well in the short term. He likes to spend the cash though but those signings aren't always the most exciting are they. Generally a fairly drab brand of football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 This is it for them really isn't it. They've finally got the manager they've coveted for years,and he's realistically the best they can get considering. It's a given he'll improve them but with the villa fans comments on O'Neill it does make me think all this will just make it funnier when it all goes tits up.

Beren Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Good appointment if they can close the deal, tbh. Good decision to get rid of Bruce (obviously) and Martin O'Neill is better than they are. He will presumably negotiate minimum spend requirements before signing on the dotted line too. Independent to what brummie has said about his media relations, I've always found him to seem rather bitter and ungracious, but who cares. Good luck to them - it's not as much fun seeing them quite so pitiful as they have been lately, and it's good to have them in the division for the derby games so hopefully he can turn things round a little and keep them up.
