Guest sittingontheball Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Jumped before being pushed perhaps, though being pushed usually means a big payoff, so praise is due if he didn't stick around for one. They'll have to get his replacement right otherwise it could be crash and burn like when we ditched SBR. With a good replacement, that would have been a good decision too. As Sourmess proved, the wheels can come off pretty quick, even from a team arguably better than Villa's is now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Fuck me, that little upstart Milner has caused some havoc at clubs hasn't he? First off Keegan walked cos of him, now MoN. What's so special about him? He has 7 big blue boxes of Lego. No one else in the Premier League has as much Lego as James Milner. No one. http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Martin-O-Neil-resigned-as-Aston-Villa-manager-because-he-lost-the-dressing-room-and-he-didn-t-like-the-financial-cut-backs-article548757.html Martin O'Neil dramatically quit Aston Villa yesterday after losing the dressing room and being frustrated by financial cut-backs at the club. Villa players were last night texting each other images of champagne bottles to celebrate O’Neill’s exit - just five days before the season starts Read more: http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Martin-O-Neil-resigned-as-Aston-Villa-manager-because-he-lost-the-dressing-room-and-he-didn-t-like-the-financial-cut-backs-article548757.html#ixzz0wBIUE2BM Sign up for MirrorFootball's Morning Spy newsletter Register here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Could be something in that, the players not being too fond of him I mean. Read an interview with Carew in the paper on sat where he ranked the best managers he'd played under in his opinion, with O'Neill getting last place on his "list".

Read an interview with Carew in the paper on sat where he ranked the best managers he'd played under in his opinion, with O'Neill getting last place on his "list". It's sad if it's true. O'Neill has had a good managerial career, and man management is supposed to be one of his strengths. I suspect he lost heart at Villa as he couldn't see himself taking the club any further forward, and if he loses confidence himself, he's not going to be able to motivate the players. He's never been one to hide his feelings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 O'Neil lets his assistants take training, he only really talks at length to them on match days so I hear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 O'Neil lets his assistants take training, he only really talks at length to them on match days so I hear. If true then that is much the same way as Brian Clough went about his job. What a surprise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Martin Jol would be canny for them. Although we know Ajax won't release him. They might do if they wait until after the CL 3rd qualifier games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true then that is much the same way as Brian Clough went about his job. What a surprise. Yeah, as with Clough, O’Neill isn’t a coach. He stands back and concentrates on the bigger picture, in terms of the players’ states of mind, team selection and player recruitment. What has always been said is that although he doesn’t say much to the players, what he does say carries some impact, almost because of the distance that he keeps. It looks like he may have lost that connection at Villa. Like Clough did at Leeds, of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Mongo Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Could be something in that, the players not being too fond of him I mean. Read an interview with Carew in the paper on sat where he ranked the best managers he'd played under in his opinion, with O'Neill getting last place on his "list". I had to google that just to see his list, and O'Neill seems to be number 4, after Eggen, Capello and Benitez, and before del Bosque, Cuper and Houllier. Seems reasonable enough.

ChrisJbarnes Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 i study in birmingham and have sat in the holte end a couple of times for villa games. the fans are absolutely unbelievable! the amount of abuse they gave their team when they drew 1-1 against sunderland was in my opinion, embaressing. not tarring all their fans with the same brush because that would be unfair but the overwhelming effect from the holte end was to boo, shout and generally get on the back of their manager and team. the abuse heskey got just for being subbed on was unbelievable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 To be honest, it's only those that you wouldn't care about informing, that would believe anything that talksport say. It seems that you have to have absolutely no knowledge of football to believe them. They know less about football than any football fan I've ever known. And I'm not using that as an exaggeration.
