I can't imagine that anyone on here would disagree with any of that :-)

I only got as far as "culling the dead wood".

Or "culling the dead word" as it says, such is its quality!  O'Neill was the equivalent of sustainable furniture manufacturers.  For every bit of dead wood he culled, he replaced it with twice as much of his own.

"unexpected top 6 finishes,"  for me.

Weren't we blessed with such unparalleled, groundbreaking achievement.

Dunno what's worse, the dull style of writing or the fact that some people still believe that guff.

I'm amazed he could reach the keyboard to type that shite whilst chomping down on MON's cock!

[Villa'Zawg]

Fair assessment I reckon.

[KevinGage]

Aye.  But you clearly expected so little from your club -even during the halcyon days of Magic Martin weirdly enough- that top 6 was unexpected for you.

[Villa'Zawg]

Aye.  But you clearly expected so little from your club -even during the halcyon days of Magic Martin weirdly enough- that top 6 was unexpected for you.

I think that paragraph was reasonable.

"A club that had had all the promise of a washed up journeyman boxer had undergone a rejuvenescence that saw unexpected top-six finishes and domestic cup challenges. In not backing O’Neill, they had taken it all for granted."

[Greg N'Ash]

Depends if you think the rejuvination was more about the 80m in fees and the same in wages we spent rather than MON's inspiration managership

I love the Wigan chant "we come from Wigan and we live in Mudhuts".

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Fair assessment I reckon.

Which, the article or the "amazed he could reach the keyboard to type that shite whilst chomping down on MON's cock!"
If it's the latter, then I completely agree with you.

The former. The latter didn't make much sense to me as I would have thought the problem would be seeing the screen rather than reaching the keyboard, but I'm happy to bow to others superior knowledge in such matters.

[Olneythelonely]

Who do you prefer Villa'Zawg, Martin O'Neill or Aston Villa?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Dunno what's worse, the dull style of writing or the fact that some people still believe that guff.

What's worse is we are now paying the price of mismanagement of funds.

[Greg N'Ash]

you'd think if he was such a star as the author suggests he'd have got a new job by now. No doubt biding his time till the inevitable offer from a top4 club lands on his doormat. *snigger*

[Dave Cooper please]

Astonishgly, the article doesn't really mention how O'Bottler fucked off five days before the start of the season leaving us with a bunch of highly paid reserves, funny that.

[KevinGage]

And until he wins the league and EC twice with a small, provincial club I don't see why the references to Clough continue to get vomited out. Yes, at one stage he did look like he might have a similar Midas touch about him (and Ol' Big Ead might have even said as much). But over the last few years he's proved himself to be quite mortal.

As it is-  on planet Earth 2011-  he is one LC victory ahead of Alex McLeish. And the last club who were interested in his services were those aristocrats of English football West Ham United.

That's not particularly majestic, is it?
