Thank you Mr O'Neill
« on: August 26, 2010, 10:20:26 PM »
It's courtesy of him (last year for the choices he made from the bench, this season for leaving us in the s**t resigning five days before the start of the season) if we are out of Europe in August for the second year in a row, and if for the second year in a row we have been  literally humiliated by an average Austrian team with odious, violent, sectarian fans that now are mocking us with banners like: "the nightmare returns".
In one word: thank you for leaving us in freefall.

I wonder if he feels guilty or is secretly smiling to himself.

I don't care, the man is now even more of a twat in my eyes, and I used to be pro-MON.

As i said shortly after he went, the wider of turmoil caused by his leaving when he did wouldn't be felt until a bit later on.

We're now starting to feel it, and unless we make a good appointment, and quick, we're going to feel it for a fair bit longer.

Fucking off when he did, taking his entire coaching staff with him showed the supporters and the club absolutely no respect at all. He did a lot of good work with us, but he undid an awful lot of it by fucking up this season so effectively.

Yep, thank you Martin fuckin O'Neill.

We will overcome but we will NEVER forget that you left us in the shyte.

AVFC paid you VERY well, and on YOUR terms, but you let the club down badly.

You can sit next to a fellow Irishman, this time from the southern part of the island next time you 'visit' Villa Park.

Thanks a million.

Nice one Archie. I agree 100%. He really is a cock of the highest order and taking such action so late in the day will ruin this season I fear.

Sorry, it's too easy to blame one man.  He takes a fair bit of responsibility not certainly not all imo.

When do the players except any responsibility for losing 6-0 at Newcastle and another inept showing tonight.  It's not like Playstaion, they are professionals.

And much as I loathe to criticise RAL and the General, 3 weeks and counting to get a new manager in at this stage of the season (transfer window) is piss poor.  Especially when we've had several candidates that expressed an interest ofter 2 days who will no doubt come into the reckoning anyway.

I'd love just to heap all of the blame on to MON - easy that.  But the events of the last two games come down to players and RAL too im sorry to say.

I know football's expensive these days Phil, but I'd have to give it up before selling my body.

Yes thanks for leaving not only the total ineptitude of those present tonight but also instructions not to play the team that kept finishing 6th, getting to Wembley, beating Man Ure away etc. ;)

The man was given far too much autonomy!
I really hope that RAL has learnt from this and the next man in charge is held accountable for more than excuses.
Sralex at manure has a position similar but can get his team to deliver week in week out. MON exploited the fact that RAL was new to the premier league and didn't appoint a suitable director of operations to keep him in check.
Deep down I hope that this has taught the board a valuable lesson and the next man in charge can build on what we have yet not given the full run of the club.
Thanks for raising our expectations O'Neill but at the end of the day you left us deep in the shit.
For me, it's on a par with H0dge!
