This must surely just be a figurehead temporary ship steadying move. So is O'Neill generally looked upon not that favourably by Villa fans? Looking at the basic facts - three consecutive 6th placed finishes, followed by a very slow and inevitable march towards a hideous relegation a few years later - you'd assume he's seen as one of the better PL Villa managers?

He did exactly what he was given at Celtic and Villa. At Celtic he had the better budget so dominated. At Villa he had the 6th best budget and go them to 6th, but spent most of the money on players who failed at the other 5 clubs instead or searching for some potential. Only at Leicester where he won the League Cup could you say he overachieved at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing most Villa fans will tell you tainted his legacy was him fucking off three days before the start of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will steady the ship and make them hard to beat, but at some point they will want to move forward again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted November 2, 2025 Share Posted November 2, 2025 Feels a little similar to when Nuno left Forest. Had been actively manoeuvring himself to be sacked for a little while. Not sure who will touch that Wolves job mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted November 2, 2025 Share Posted November 2, 2025 There’s no way Wolves should get relegated this season. They’re obviously in a rancid position but with their squad they could easily still avoid the drop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
