Big Geordie Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Seems incredibly harsh on O'Neill - makes you wonder if there is more to it. :-/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverThere Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Potter incoming to Bournemouth. I could see him doing quite well there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Unless he's about to be outed as a nonce or something then there's no justification for sacking him. Get relegated Bournemouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillDanceForChocolate Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 From the outside looks like madness and all that's wrong with modern football. From where I sit, it was the right call. He did well but also got a bit lucky. Needs to learn his trade lower down as was making some awful tactical blunders and was very defensive first in his approach. Nothing against him, I wish him all the best and hope he gets another Premier League crack when he's a bit more experienced. Meanwhile, the owner has put himself in the firing line of the media who were (incorrectly) saying O'Neil could have been manager of the year. So he has to make the right appointment so he doesn't attract column inches talking about his lack of football knowledge. It's going to be interesting!

Genuinely no clue. When I see Gerrard on the bookie list I want to cry. Hopefully it's Potter or maybe Knutsen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 What's this about rumours in the past 24 hours? My go to has always been Twitter for that kind of shite but Elon the Great has gone and made everything require an account. I think whether it's the right call comes down to who replaces him. As someone else has said, everyone baulked at Pochettino replacing Adkins and look how that turned out. If it's with a plan in mind then let's see how it plays out.

Anderson Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 If they’ve got Potter lined up, I can’t really blame them. Can’t help but feel O’Neill would be a classic case of having an interim coming in, doing well, then struggling in their first proper season. Roeder-esque.

Deuce Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) His winning percentage was 29%. They finished just 5 points above the drop and had a GD of -34 (-25 if you take the Liverpool result out of the picture). He hardly set the place alight and the club is right to look to upgrade.

vicente_14 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 To the outsiders the O'Neill sacking seems harsh but dig a little deeper and most Bournemouth fans have been less than convinced by him for sometime. The owner seems to be putting money in. and making signings and fair play if he has bigger ambitions than Gary O'Neill. The other story, doesn't seem worded like it's a Manager, more a club owner, and the still living dildo brother was seen leaving a police station with his lawyer recently, and historically (as is suggested) owned a Midlands club.

Pilko Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Feel like everyone who said O'Neil deserved to be mentioned in the (outside) running for Manager of the Year is now nodding along with the decision to pot him, which is a bit odd. I'm in the same position tbf If they've got a big big upgrade incoming then it's entirely understandable like. O'Neil will definitely get another crack at a Championship job soon as a minimum you'd think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
