The end is nigh.

[old man villa fan]

I think David Moyes would jump at the chance to take on a club like us, without the financial problems he has at Everton. I also think there's a  lot of top European managers who would welcome a Premier League club on their CV, even before the daft wages they'd pick up.

But as OMVF said, it's all hypothetical for the moment because there doesn't seem much chance of Martin leaving.

What a difference a week makes and we both didn't see it coming as quickly as it has.

So now that it is a real vacancy, who do you think.

You heard it here first!

Smart Arse!!

 Moscow seems a long time ago but that was definitely the beginning of the end and now, after yesterdays events, I think we can conclude that it was MON who made the decision to forego the Europa Cup,

[garyfouroaks]

I was, and am, a MON supporter. The field of replacement managers looks weak - yet there is hope.

Invariably Managers stay too long at a club, and there is a "Managerial Cycle".Although things look bleak at the moment, a "left field" choice could reinvigorate the club.

Although a lot could go wrong, it could go right too ( Wenger to Arsenal, Moyes to Everton were not nailed on success stories).

Just a quick point. The "you heard it here first" was regarding Young going to Spurs, which isnt and never was going to happen. Apart from that, this was a thread about being time for MON to go. Which of course it wasnt being 5 days to the start of the season.

Nobody, not even the owner, none of the usual "ITK" folks had wind of MON leaving before yesterday.
Wishful thinking doesnt count.

there is plenty of people who have suspected things we not good between those at the top for a while,
 a few saying they wouldnt be supprised if MON left before the start of the season,
 yes of coarse it was speculation, thats what most things are on here, but there was plenty of people who said it was rubbish and there was no problems, they were wrong

DC5 got a lot of stick with this thread, he has been proved completly correct,

your jibe of wishfull thinking is just crap, just accept someone got it right, and others totaly wrong, it happens.

No it wasn't, it was regarding O'Neill going.

It's the one good thing to come out of this so far. DC5 and Martin O'Neill were reconciled in agreement that it was time for him to go. Nearly everyone else seems to feel it wasn't a good time.

I will speak on behalf of DC5 here as he is in meetings all day.

He didn't say, as far as I'm aware, that the timing was right at all.  He stated that after speaking with other supporters in Portugal and some ITK information we had been given, the end was nigh.

Nobody, not even the club, expected it to be now, at what can only be the worst possible time for O'Neill to go.

[Chris Jameson]

O'Neill is now out of favour with a high percentage of fans. I understand that he has a bad relationship with the press. His coaching staff, apart from reserves and youth, are useless. Time for him to go.

Think DC5 called it right. Isn't the thread called The End Is Nigh rather than Young to Spurs?

[Chico Hamilton III]

Yep.

With one big exception, DC5 has got form for calling it right. We could do a lot worse than listen to him

[Chris Jameson]

I'm going to listen to him closely, as soon as he's out of that meeting i'm going to ask him how to ease my bad back.

I'm confused. He started a thread called "The end is nigh" and in his opening post said it was time to go. Do you mean this isn't what he wanted?

doesnt matter whether he wanted it or not, although i suspect he isnt to choked up about it,

he said in his opening post that MON had fell out of favour and had bad relationships with certain groups,
 which is pretty much spot on, with what we now know has happened

i'm sticking up for DC5 because he had the balls to post what he thought, and had picked up from Portugal,
thats a part of what the forums are for, people agreed or disagreed thats also what happenes on the site,

so when a poster calls it right, he deserves some credit

Oi Mrs Clark Five, it's the Doc I want to see not the receptionist!

I sneezed yesterday and knackered my back, are you able to prescribe painkillers? If not, i'll wait until the (frankly, long) meeting is finished if you can fix me up an appointment?
