MON's return - would you boo?

[PaulWinch again]

I'd just ignore, he's gone and is in the past now.

[Quiet Lion]

I think booing ex-players is childish and only spurs them on to play better, so I see no difference in doing that to an ex-manager either.

I'm with you John M.

Yeah and me.

Essentially I am far too cool to get involved with actions like that.

[freakypete]

i wont boo but iv lost all respect for the man.he left with no dignity

[Monty]

I'd cheer him and sing his name. That would really unnerve him.

[Smithy]

It's a strange one, and I think it would all depend on how we were doing at the time he came back.

Should we be in a position where we've gone backwards (suggesting he'd perhaps been doing a 'good' job), he'd get booed.

Should we be in a position where we've gone forwards (suggesting he'd perhaps been doing a 'bad' job), he'd probably get a warm welcome.

It's like bumping into your ex - it's fine so long as your new bird is better.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Ignore. That would hurt him.

That's what I was going to say, Silent treatment for me

[mozza]

They say time is a great healer ..............

I'd offer to pick him up at the airport/railway station and drive him to Minworth -

Then throw him into those big round tanks and leave him there ..........because that's what he did to us

[Salsa Party Animal]

Chant "Martin Please don't forget to give us a wave to say goodbye"

[TopDeck113]

I would applaud, but there are a couple of caveats to that statement:

(1) what has happened to AVFC in the interim

(2) who he is managing

So if we do as well or better in the next couple if seasons and he brings a plucky Forest side here in the Cup he'll get a hearty clap; if we go into a rapid decline and he brings his Man City team here for a match that will see them qualify for the Champions League and consign us to the Championship, I'll be foaming at the mouth.

I'd hope his reception would be similar to the one Daphne and Celeste received when they played the Reading Festival.  Non stop boos and bottles full of beery piss flying in his direction.

Ooh! Stick you! Your Harewood too! And your Heskey!

[JJ-AV]

I'd love him to get the England job, there's no way he'd succeed and end up looking a numpty, he couldn't manage against us (atleast for a while) or nick our better players, he'd probably call some of our boys up and I can't stand the England national side (Villa aside) so if it did all go wrong it'd be a double whammy.

Don't think I'd boo him though, light applause and nothing else.

[KevinGage]

if we go into a rapid decline and he brings his Man City team here for a match that will see them qualify for the Champions League and consign us to the Championship, I'll be foaming at the mouth.

 

In fairness, there is probably more chance of Kevin Mac being manager of Citeh one day than O'Neill.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

I would boo him, but not half as much if DOL ever turned up.

[astonvillan]

i'd sarcastically cheer him. at which point he'd run to the press and complain about fans booing him.

no, risso's beery piss/boo combo sounds right up my street actually.

[Risso]

I'd hope his reception would be similar to the one Daphne and Celeste received when they played the Reading Festival.  Non stop boos and bottles full of beery piss flying in his direction.

Ooh! Stick you! Your Harewood too! And your Heskey!

Quoted for hilarity!
