O'Neill Rejects west ham interest!

[pauliewalnuts]

I can't believe he's going to go to West Ham.

Firstly, there's not going to be a lot of money there.

Secondly, they're bottom of the league and it's a big risk to Brand O'Neill.

Thirdly, if he couldn't get on with Lerner at the end, how's he going to manage with the Porndwarf and his simpleton friend?

Fourthly, even after the way he fucked us over in the summer, I'd imagine he would have a little bit of respect for other people in the game, and replacing Grant after WH have treated him so shittily doesn't seem the sort of thing you'd think he'd get involved with.

I think we're being a little precious about him replacing Grant. Almost every appointment is because some other manager has been shafted and we were all calling for Villa to go after a manager who was already employed.

My only conern is about Villa and I think that it gives a boost to a current rival which I'd rather they didn't have as it makes our job that bit harder.

I agree with all the above, especially about how he'll get on with the owners. They're the rent a quote mob, not publicity shy - MON's ego must be even bigger than people thought if he thinks he'll work well with them.

I'm beginning to think MON's integrity is a myth.

Before today I really wanted West Ham to get relegated. Now I desperately want them to get relegated. The big question is, who do I want to win the League Cup semi now? Tough call.

[ronshirt]

Giving credit to MON doesn't fit the picture of a "devious c**t" perpetrated on here day after day. The posts on here remind me of a jilted girlfriend, full of bitterness and recrimination, unable to face up to the truth and inventing a fantasty upon which to pour forth all the hatred boiling up inside and to claim that the relationship was crap in the first place.

Agrred. I think he'll keep them up and win the League Cup. How many of their players have we been linked with over the last 3 years?

How ridiculous.

Rumours that it is a 6 month contract with a massive bonus for surviving relegation and not walking out like a scolded child.

That would make sense for both Parties. No opportunity for MON to get involved in contracts and signing players. Just being brought in to organise and motivate the players he has, which is what he is good at. They stay up - MoN is a hero, they go down - he did the best he could with players and the time he had. No lose situation for MON, and leaves him free to pursue other jobs in the Summer with his reputation reinstated if not enhanced...

What they said.

I'm a bit torn about Wet Spam generally. I still don't like the fact the club got away with the whole Tevez confusion and I really don't like their current owners. But I've really liked all my trips there and have found the fans to be friendly and knowledgable. And despite what everyone else thinks, I'm still a MON admirer and can see some of the reasons why he walked when he did, even if I don't like the situation it left us in as a result.

Right now, we need as many other teams to be struggling as possible, so this is potentially bad news for us.

Agreed.

I want Martin to stick four or five goals up the fuckers.

WHU. Then for Arsenal or Ipswich to win the Final.

Not really. Even if you take MON out of the equation, it makes sense for Villa fans to hope West Ham get relegated, as it is one of the relegation places taken.

[eastie]

I'd expect mon to try and sign petrov , regarding the league cup I can't see anyone stopping arsenal 

[PaulWinch again]

I really want West Ham to go down now, not only for the way O'Neill treated us at the end but also the way they've treated Grant. But I want them to get to the League Cup final and lose.

I think Clampy was referring to the Cup. I think most Villa fans would prefer West Ham to be relegated than us.

[dave.woodhall]

This makes less sense than anything I've heard for a long time.

Money to spend - doesn't look like it.
Autonomy - I doubt it with that lot.
His brand of football - definitely not.

Most of all, he's lining up to take a job before the current incumbent is sacked. That's not on and will lose him a lot of respect.

It's a strange one.

C'mon...Pauliewalnuts....a big risk to brand  O'Neil????l....I can't believe you could think this...
On the contrary, the West Ham Job is a perfect job to promote Brand O'Neill.
They are bottom of the league but not adrift...As long as he finishes outside the bottom 3, he's done nothing but enhance his reputation...
