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

[Percy McCarthy]

Anyway, fuck it, we're all friends now aren't we?

Are we fuck.

Charming. I'd still buy you a pint.

Go on, i'll give you the open goal.


Of what?

Whatever you're drinking you daft sod.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Apologies for being a dick.

Still fucking hate O'Neill, mind.

[Percy McCarthy]

No need, H&V's rich tapestry.

But me too while we're at it.

I noticed MON's biography is over at the Library.
I'll have to get hold of it.

It might be quite balanced as it's a biography.
The Celtic bits might be interesting when he was forever hinting about walking out if something displeased him.

There are 2 different ones , I bought the 1st in Blackpool in pound land  about a year before he got the villa job , the 2nd one with a dirfferent author came out not long before he left villa and cost me £18 .

I don't think he was very happy about either book.

Going off on a tangent slightly.

Thank you MoN for bringing Guzan and Weimann to the club, they may well turn out to be your positive legacy with us.

No question he bought some very good players here as well as a few bad ones , there were great memories as well as awful ones from his reign.

I thought he had very little input into the youth set up Weimann was recruited into?

But yes - Guzan was absolutely his signing.

Not taking anything away from MON as he still had to sign him, but didn't Big Brad recommend him?

A Liverpool fan at work still thinks the sun shines out of his arse. Part I of V commenced this dinner-time and will be concluded on Friday.

I did the book review on the second biography (by Simon Moss?) for H+V. Its bloody awful.

No idea on his involvement but I'd have thought he'd have had some requirements on the type of players he wanted the youth system to bring through, especially given the level of control he had over the 1st team, it would be strange if he didn't have a passing interest in the players we were looking to place in the academy.

The point of the post was really that I can think of 2 positives that may turn out hugely in his favour over the next few years (I missed lichaj as well who I think is a solid squad player for us).

If that's the criteria, then I think we should also include Gabby as he gave him his chance and had a big hand in his development as a player.
