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

[bertlambshank]

Steve Mclaren is a bloody good coach.He is a Blues manager mind.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Ha fucking ha, disappointed in a way, would really really liked to have seen him take them down:-)

[Davey B]

this will save them I am certain.

It won't, i am now certain. 

Your thoughts on Steve 'brolly' mclaren , davey?

I've just posted ..... the Wally with the Brolly ....... OUT. 

[villan from luton]

this will save them I am certain.

What makes you think that?

[pauliewalnuts]

I wonder if he regrets shitting on us when presented with the suggestion he might sell a few of the non-conributing players he wasted huge amounts of money on?

[DeKuip]

They'll go for Phil Parkinson.

[pauliewalnuts]

Let's hope they don't get a lift with a new manager in.

Nah.

I am one of the harshest critics of O'Neill but sacking him now is absolutely nuts. Utter insanity.

[ez]

They have obviously panicked.

[cdbearsfan]

Collymore reckons sunderland have told him a new manager will be in place before their next game.

I would expect this to be true. They will have had talks going on with someone, the question is, who?  :-\

Mark Hughes I reckon .

I can't see what would be the point of that. They're too similar. That would be like sacking Paul Chuckle, giving him a massive pay-off, then appointing Barry Chuckle to replace him.

[devilla]

Can't wait to see what his MOTD buddies have to say about this. Black armbands probably...

I merged three MON threads, the last of which was locked. I hadn't realised that would lock the lot. Ooops.
