Minhosa Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Every single MoN side is the same: - Rigid formation - Effective/Efficient - Big man up top (Heskey, Sutton, Bentner, Carew etc) - Scrapper in the middle (Lennon, Cattermole etc) - Decent wingers (Milner, Young, Downing, Guppy, McClean etc) - British core He's got a very good ability to motivate/get the best out of average players but there's nothing more to the guy than that. He's stumbled across a system which broadly works and he'll always achieve reasonable results and that will be it. I'd never want him at NUFC and I'd not be keen to pay good money to watch his sides.

I hate Martin O'Neill TBH, and this stems from well before he had anything to do with the mackems. If we appointed him I would weep openly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, I hate the bastard and have a very long time. He's an annoying little jumpy cunt but there's no arguing he knows how to set a team up. I'd rather chop my own cock off than see him in our dugout though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I suppose everyone has their own style of managers that they like, and different personalities in the game. I liked his era at Celtic and just always thought he was a good manager who knew how to get the best out of his team. Was gutted when he went to the mackems as he just feel he's far too good for them. Hopefully this will be the first club he massively fails at and see's him relegated for the first time.

High Five o Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I do not rate him, but his results are not that bad compared to a lot of other British managers imo. This is the kicker for me. The whole managerial merry-go-round is just so fucked up compared to any other employment. Managers repeatedly fail, are fired, paid off... and then in a new job before the end of the month. This is a system where Alex McLeish can relegate a team, and then immediately take over at their local rivals. In this world, Martin O'Neill is one of the better bets as far as managerial appointments go... and he's ridiculously flawed. Agree, its a exclusive club, once you are in you are basically set for life. I can just imagine that there are way better managers down in the divisions and other leagues that never get the chance based on "experience". I think a lot of chairmen are afraid to do a appointment. Better appoint a known name, so i have by back cleared if the shit hits the fan mentality.

Guest BooBoo Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I think the only single player that Sunderland have bought that has made me think "bastards, wish we'd got him" was Darren Bent. Says it all. If O'Neill really thinks paying £14million for Fletcher (which is realistically double his true value) is sensible, then he's a bigger crackpot than I first thought.

Pilko Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I think O'Neill does a great job of convincing his chairman to go and pay for who he wants, it's just a shame for him that other clubs think "Haha, it's that fucking Irish tit" and steal as much of his transfer pot as they can for whichever mediocre clogger it is he's after.

McCormick Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 It's insane money, but hes a good player and is safe bet to get them goals. Marty's transfer policy coupled with their stature means that this is as good as they can get; they seem desperate and Wolves can sense that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 We really need to be more grateful to our scouting/negotiation setup than we already are. £14 million would probably cover half of our team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
