And Wengers, Hiddinks, Moyes, Redknapp, so is he better than them?

  You could argue, and i hate to admit it, that you are more likely to win them trophies at clubs like Liverpool, than the clubs MON has been at.

  But if you think the football under MON is boring, wait to Fat Boy comes.


Celtic?!

Winning the league at Valencia is more of an achievement than anything o neill has ever done- I wouldn't want benitez here but he's taking over the European champions , what has o neill done in his career to be classed in that bracket as a manager-I do not understand his reputation being so high based on what's he's actually won as a manager!

We've got more chance than Celtic.

  How many of their players would get in our team?

Last season was boring under MON.

Everton at home was awful. Milner and Petrov just did nothing, no movement or no creativity what so ever.

Ever seen Gabby make a busting run across the defender to beat the defender and score? no?

Not saying MON is the Messiah, but hes not as bad as you say either.

  We have, for me at least 7 players good enough to get into the CL, MON has signed 6 of them.That for me shows he's not all bad.

MON has signed all but 1 player in our squad.

For the money he's spent we should have more than just 7 "CL" players in our squad.

If we had Gerrard, we would have won as much.

I'm talking about at villa- already mentioned his league cups at Leicester and celtic success in 2 club land-hardly equals benitez record as a manager though ie la liga, fa cup and champions league!

For a manager approaching his 59th birthday o neills trophies don't back up his over-rated reputation in my view!

You forget that he got Leicester and Wycombe promoted, and took Celtic to the Uefa Cup Final.

Benitez has done very well up until the last couple of seasons, although taking a team from Champions League winners to 7th place is some feat.

I didn't forget Wycombe or Celtic but winning la liga with Valencia tops any of mons achievements- I'm not a fan of benitez but I find people slagging his record and lauding mons somewhat bizarre in the extreme!
