O'Neill Rejects west ham interest!

[Risso]

They're welcome to the devious little cuntface.

They deserve each other.  That sounds like a marriage made in hell.

[eastie]

No way sky would break a story like this if it wasn't true- they have had David craig on who had a call at 1 45 am from a senior west ham source leaking him the story - what a shabby way of doing business.

No, Sky would never make up, exaggerate or embellish a story.

Not after they've done it so many times before.

[Holtemeister]

How the fook is O'Neil going to be able to work under them lot when he couldnt work with a guy who to all reports he still gets on very well with, has utmost respect in the industry, is a gentleman, does pipe in at any opportunity and doesnt wear a silly Russian hat !!!

Ill give him 6 weeks or until the Liverpool job comes up

[Holtemeister]

Its nice of the owners to let Avram know who will be taking his job before he's even been sacked.

They call it a handover period ..... although I think the tracksuit will be a little on the large side but on the positive side it should actually fit over Martins head

[eastie]

The story is breaking all over the media, sky have told that the call came at 1 45 am,  the question to ask is why ring sky and leak the story on a big matchday?

[Holtemeister]

Erm mon at wembley or blues at wembley? Good luck mon hope you beat blues and get pissed on by arsenal! I bet sidwells glad Brady pulled the plug on his deal- maybe mon was lined up and he told them no way to sidwell?

I bet you aint too far from the truth there !!!

[eastie]

O neill was never going to get the Liverpool job- let the hammers fans celebrate today and then mourn the end of their lovely passing game once mon and robbo get their feet in the door.

[dicedlam]

A control freak like O'Neill will soon be throwing his toys working for those fuckwits.

I could not of wished for a better appointment if indeed Grant does go.

[PaulWinch again]

Seems to me that he is happier at a club with expectations that are easy to match and exceed.

[Lizz]

Even if he was never destined for what he perceived as a top job, this'll surely mean he never will get a top job. It truly feels like pantomime.

[russon]

good luck to him - best manager we had in many years. brought us out of the mire, built us up to a regular top 6 side. Not sure his brand of football will be overly appreciated there but he's used to people with claret and blue scarves not appreciating him

[Phil from the upper holte]

How long will the greatest team in the land put up with his hoof ball?

They won the world cup after all

[sheldon nose]

Even more reason to beat west ham now,cant wait.....the ground will be even more pumped up now...bring them on i say...

[Holtenderinthesky]

This should at least mean that Blues will not get to Wembley.  If O'Neill showed us anything it's that he doesn't lose to small heath.  MON is a very good manager and people who think otherwise, of which there are many, need only look at our league positions whist he was at the Villa.  Like him or not, we'd all love to be in the top 6 and planning our trip to north London next month over where we are now.
