Parky Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 He doesn't attack teams anymore. The old Villa used to go after sides now and again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuneaton Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 O'Neil's a good motivator, poor tactician and dreadful in the transfer market. If he somehow manages to accumulate enough players that he accidentally ends up with a few good ones, he can motivate them to do well. The problem is that takes about £100m+ in todays money to get a mediocre league finish. Short won't give him anything like that amount, so he's basically f***ed.

brummie Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Thing is he's backed himself into a corner here. He's saying stuff like "we're in a real fight there" and "I've got a massive challenge on". Unlike Villa where, league wise, he was getting good positions and then decided to f*** off because, behind the scenes, he wasn't given more money (I'm sure Brummie will correct me if I'm wrong there!) He has no place to hide and I don't think he'll get away with it if he does just down tools and leave. Unlucky Marty. Basically - he was told to clear up his mess first, and sell the players that were sitting in the reserves on big contracts. He was asked several times to move some of the big wage players he wasn't using on - basically, to manage his squad like every other manager does. He kept saying he would but then didn't. He kept asking fr more money from Lerner, which he got, but still didn't move players on. The final argument was because Lerner wouldn't let him spend a huge wad on Aiden McGeady until he'd moved some players on *first* That's specifically what he walked over. Incidentally, his media backers saying Short hasn't backed him despite him spunking 25m on just two home market players sums up everything about the bloke.

Chris_R Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 With any luck he'll be given enough time to repeat that magic at Sunderland.... Already got O'Shea and Brown on long, lucrative, frankly ridiculous deals thanks to Mr Bruce. And Saha's there too, how long was he given? Hopefully a decade or something.

Chris_R Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Hmm, interent suggests 1 year for Saha. Most disappointing. I was sure it was about 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Football has evolved from the two wingers and two banks of four that O'Nil and many managers like him used to good effect. Now he just looks what he is, a manager with a lack of imagination as to what to do. He just doesn't know how to change his system. Bingo. That is spot on. It us interesting that, if you look at Lambert, a man who played for MON and still respects him a lot, his tactical approach is light years ahead. He. Doesn't believe in wingers, thinks the two banks of four thing is history, and is trying to exorcise that style of play from the club. That is what Houllier tried to do, too. The good managers change with the times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Quite funny that us NUFC fans want the unwashed to stick with MON! Especially when at first they all thought they had one over on us when they got him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmatix Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Can I suggest that N.O. has a special New Years Award for Brummie. This poster has been absolutely outstanding in all of his posts about MON. To be able to tell us, from the moment he was appointed, EXACTLY how it would all pan out has been uncanny. He has even told us to the minute when MON will make his subs, how he would set out his team, and how the wheels would come off. Well done Sir, take a bow.
