Moscow followed by Stoke the weekend after.
Telling Steve stride they didn't need his experience around the club the general already knew everything
This season- for me it was Watford at home, we didn't play badly and probably were the better team on the day but we lost, and that's the day I thought for the first time that we would go downLast few years - was when MON walked, didn't realise at the time but that was the day Randy through the towel in and we went on to make bad decision after bad decision

That sounds like a good option right now. Martin O'Neill was not responsible for the players contracts. That's down to the administration.

The turning point was when Randy Lerner turned up at Ellis's office with a shiny Cleveland Browns helmet. Only now do we understand the symbolism in that gesture.

Its only in the past 18 months I have begun to soften in my attitude to MON. It wasn't his responsibility to manage the finances. His failings were not scouting further afield etc. He obviously realised he was dealing with chancers in 2010 and the fact that they went ahead and signed that absolute fool Stephen Ireland after MON left shows you what calibre of people he was working for all along.
