MoN is  trained in the Law and it may well be he delivers a few home truths at the Tribunal. he will present a good case for himself I have no doubt. Considering our position now he will not be viewed badly in terms of perfomance using league tables as guide.

I think both he and the club will use better-qualified legal teams than him.

That may well be the case and I don't doubt he'll use a Barrister..loser pays the bill.
You can be certain he is not going for a scoreless draw and the way we've been playing recently.. The timing of the case is intriguing don't you think? A month hence and we'll have a pretty good idea where we are and what future holds.

Agreed.  The timing is shocking.

Talk about kicking us when we're down!



As mentioned above, I'm guessing the courts decide the date of the actual hearing as opposed to either party.

Expect to see a lot more of him as he goes on a PR offensive to get the media on his side ahead of the tribunal.
I can see it know, poor little impoverished glasses wearing nerd was bullied out of his job by those in charge of the big nasty football club. "I only spent £70,000,000" he snivels, "and then, the nasty bigger boys wouldn't let me have any more money" he wails.

Itr's interesting but purely coincidental. To start talking now, though, certainly isn't.

He did a year of a law degree and reads books about serial killers. That's hardly trained in the law, to be fair.

If there's one thing that really boils my piss it's the urban myth that O'Neill has a law degree.

It's almost as if he wants the club to settle without a hearing.

It's a year longer than my training in the Law!
You do not represent yourself in these matters. You get a top notch barrister. If you lose you pay costs. He will have learnt that much.
and he is up against a shite defence!

Not so Mr Green, I think you'd be surprised by my incredibly relaxed demeanour were our paths ever to cross.  However, it is true that Villa's current predicament makes me a bit cross.   I would though argue that my musings on Off Topic are generally less tetchy.  Apart from on politics threads.  An religion.  And anything to do with banks,  I really hate those fucking bastards.

OK, so technically you might be right afterall.

He'll have no problem there, the media have ALWAYS been on his side.

I don't think it's to get the media on his side, it's a kind of veiled threat to the Villa. `Look how much coverage I can get. Imagine I was saying nasty things about you after an acrimonious tribunal hearing. How would you like that?'
