The Martin O'Neill thread (with added sacking #2188)

[Davey B]

Despite your disappointment Davey, your optimism still shines through, sometimes you're a breath of fresh air.  A lot of us down here feel we have had the season from hell despite the optimism some of us felt at the start of the season.  I just wish I could feel as positive as you sometimes do but, it just aint happening for me, hard as I try.

I've no axe to grind with Sunderland and now MON has been consigned to the shit bin it's time to move on.

Thanks for the kind words Dave, but i swear mate, i don't feel positive at all anymore, in fact far from it. I think i'm still in shock to be honest. Did not see this coming at the time it did. Thought we would have seen the season out at least. Maybe this is Short's hard nosed business man's shock type tactic in letting our personnel know they aren't here to get an easy ride. I just don't know mate, i really don't!

Well, we live in interesting times.

I think this new TV deal is a big factor in why Chairmen have become more desperate than ever in their decision making. Nobody wants to miss out.

I have no problem with Sunderland, have very good friends who are top supporters - I hope we both get out of the mire.
But Di Canio? Sweet Jesus on a motorcycle...

[Greg N'Ash]

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in MON's house tonite. One thing for your chairman to feel they're better off without you, but to then call for the Italian Roy Keane. oh the humiliation.....

"I've been as O'Neill out as anyone.

I don't want us to sack a good man, hire a fascist and go down. That would just be poetically awful"

I'm hoping that completely blows up.

Off to a good start for you then!

David Miliband Member of Parliament for South Shields .......

Statement on Sunderland AFC role
March 31st, 2013

David Miliband said: “I wish Sunderland AFC all success in the future. It is a great institution that does a huge amount for the North East and I wish the team very well over the next vital seven games. However, in the light of the new manager’s past political statements, I think it right to step down.”

Well done Dave Miliband. Whether they stay up or not, Sunderland is a famous old club with a good support and deserve better than that Mussoliniite wanker.

A bit suprised by the reaction on their forum. Thought it would be more positive. I wonder if Villans would be as principled in the same situation? Personally, I'd give Stalin a chance if I thought he would keep us up.

I would rather Ellis, DOL and MON went all threesome to create a love child and for him / her to be our new manager than we employ an utter right wing piece of shit like Sunderand have. He is a self serving, nasty piece of work and he will relegate them.

[eastie]

It's a bold appointment.

True but its a worrying appointment , it could keep them up.

that's the problem with this site, people just mince their words and won't come out with what they truly think
