Where is MON ?

[Dave Cooper please]

And that knob O'Leary spunked the £6.5m we did have on Baros. Prick.

When defending MON I'm not sure it's wise to do it by criticising previous managers for spunking away silly money on sub-standard strikers.

[PaulTheVillan]

Have i stepped into an argument from another planet

What the hell are you on about

Can we go back to the question

Is MON on holiday or not?

Yes. He's gone from the lounge into his back garden.

especially when he only spent a couple of mill to achieve sixth unlike some managers

where is Mon ?

In the same place he has been for the last 5 summers, can't see why there should be any concern.

Isn't it now accepted most clubs and managers complete most of their business before Mon comes out of hiding.if not it should be.

Then nearly took us down a couple of season's later.

Don't feed a troll.

It'll only bite your hand.

I know what he did and he's a phenomenal ****** along with it, but I'm just saying that if the criteria for judging managers is how much they spunked away on shite strikers then MON doesn't come out looking that good really.

Imagine if Lol Creme - the least talented member of talentless 70's crap-rock band, 10CC ( and half of the talentless duo, Godley and Creme) had to send bad news by text, how would he sign the end of his message without causing offence?

lol. Sorry Chris, I meant to say pmsl. That better?

This thread had taken a turn for the better, thank fuck.

I wasn't writing the season off chris , just saying that it's very hard to compete with spurs and City if they spend huge amounts this summer, if anything I was saying 6th place under the circumstances would be reasonable , I for one have lowered my expectations and see this as being about as good as it will get under o neill!

Three posts earlier you were saying that it's as good as it will get under anybody because of the money involved.

[eastie]

Yes dave , i think 6th is about as good as it will get , and i would settle for that if we could get a cup win all the better, i think the chance to really crack the top 4 was there under o neill but now because of the money involved at city and spurs having reached the champions league , it will be harder than ever.

Unless we or anyone else has an awful lot to invest on players then i think it will be extremely tough now , whoever is in charge would need a huge amount to spend- o neill has had a lot of money and we havent achieved it and im not sure that money would be there if another manager replaced him.

If we do better than 6th then great but the competion is stronger now than 3 yrs ago and if mon keeps us in the top 6 then I think on reflection that will be a decent achievement.

City are probably going to sign 6 or 7 top quality internationals and in fairness to mon he does not have anything like that like of financial clout.

Do we seriously believe for a second, Martin O Neill is capable of taking a break from work? I don't think he is.

He's probably been on his holibobs, and driven the missus crazy, trying to work out different permatations to make 4-4-2 work. Or writing down his shopping list, consisting entirely of domestic based players.

I think now he's probably somewhere, bouncing around like a mexican jumping bean, excitedly ringing Robbie Keanes agent, to see how much we can overpay for him.

As sad as it is I agree. We either have to hope three or four other clubs under-perform or MoN manages to pull several rabbits out of his arse. I don't think the guys we are linked with are rabbits (possibly Ireland but I don't think we'll take anyone from City as part of the Milner deal) I have to say.
