How come Keane who was here for 2 months is included, but Agathe, Sutton and Kiraly aren't?
Because all three were signed as there was no alternative. The transfer window was closed and we have to rely on players who weren't contracted to other clubs. O'Neill was hardly flawless in the transfer market, but I don't his biggest critic would say that he would have signed those three players had there a transfer window at the time. I don't think Houllier would have signed Pires had there been other options either.
Keane was signed during a transfer window so the situations aren't really comparable.
Yes, you're right. If you take out O'Neill's crap early signings, his record does look better than McLeish's. While we're changing history, let's ignore Maloney and Bardsley as well, it'll make it look better still!
Now you're just being silly.
