Without checking I think it's safe to assume our wage bill was much lower than theirs and we finished above them last season. Still on his side, then? Just stating facts, I thought you might be avove that sort of sub-Everall type posturing, seems I over estimated you.

Marton O'Neill is a fine manager, but what in God's name does he want from a club he manages? If he thinks Liverpool is a better bet than Villa then good luck to him but from what I saw of the Red Scouse yesterday, they have a lot of mediocre players and a sprinkling of ones that should be a class above, but aren't. Were it not for Gerrard and Torres, despite the latter's form, I think Villa would have the better squad.
He won't manage another English team unless they have shit loads of money compared to the rest (Man Utd/Chelsea/Man City) because he knows he won't do any better than what he did at Villa.

I know why people don't like him, but he seems to be being put in the same brackets as DOL, which seems very bizarre considering how well he did for us.
For someone who had three 6th place finishes in a row and a Cup Final in his last, he's getting an awful lot of grief. This, as some seem to have not noticed, is the best Villa have consistenly done for many a year.A sending off for Vidic and Dunne not fucking it up and we could've won the cup. But, based on a referees decision and a player making a mistake, MON is deemed a failure.I know why people don't like him, but he seems to be being put in the same brackets as DOL, which seems very bizarre considering how well he did for us.
