Is anybody (well, those who have previously argued that O'Neill deserves more time) thinking that maybe a clean break all round would be best for all concerned?
Quote from: "gregnash"If Ivanhoe's our top earner forget selling him. He's here till he retires as there's not a club on earth who will take him on those wages, unless Capello takes over at Citeh. :o}Here's the good news - Heskey's only got two years left on his contract.I said at the time we signed him, the contract length was pure madness. I wonder what length of contact is on the table for 30 year old Robbie Keane. 4 years?

Randy will want him gone before that with some cash coming back in. If he doesn't move this season, this will be his last - thank goodness.
That news that Heskey is our highest earner (and must therefore make him the club's best paid player ever) turns him from a slight embarassment of a player who hasn't quite worked out, to the biggest transfer disaster ever.No wonder Liverpool plumped for Hodgson instead of going for O'Neill.
Quote from: "Risso"Is anybody (well, those who have previously argued that O'Neill deserves more time) thinking that maybe a clean break all round would be best for all concerned?My position remains the same as it was from about March this year.Would prefer him to see out the five years at least -if for no other reason than to say we've done all we can from a continuity/ backing perspective. But wouldn't be at all distraught if he himself decides to depart.He's a funny fcuker though.The start of last season continued like the back end of 2008/09, and yet by Christmas we were 3rd and beating Manure away at Old Trafford. He responds best when his back is to the wall and people doubt him.

Odd games like Man U aside, every time we've needed a really big effot (like in the cup final and the chases for 4th place) he's failed miserably.
