Mons tribunal hearing?

[Concrete John]

way i see it, we KNOW MON was telling his mates in the press this time last year how he was going to sit down with Lerner, how he didn't have to do the job and how the fans were very ungrateful and if the liverpool job was available he was free come June etc etc...

Now, this may be down to my inability to read posts properly, so apologies in advance for that, but when we start a sentence with 'we know' it's usual to start a new sentence when we then move into stuff we don't know.  Or in some way make it clear that the latter part is not fact.

And nice try, but I'll stay away from the insults and not bite back.

the liverpool bit is the only part of that you can claim is not known and was added as a bit of light relief. the fact that he was telling everyone he may not continue as manager of aston villa and basically putting himself in the shop window is without doubt. If a player had done that we'd have a very low opinion of it

Anyway i think i'll take the advice of your sig and say no more.

Do you know when we will find out the outcome? I have no doubt that specky twat has been preparing his case the day after he left.

The League Managers Association (LMA) is able to confirm that Martin O’Neill OBE and Aston Villa have finalised all issues in relation to his departure from the club in August 2010.

The matter was placed before the FA Premier League Managers’ Arbitration Tribunal, but was resolved during the course of the hearing.

Premier League managers' contracts contain a clause requiring the parties to mediate their differences in the event of a dispute, and, if the dispute cannot be resolved at mediation, that the case moves forward to the Premier League Managers’ Arbitration Tribunal.

The Tribunal is ideally placed to resolve disputes of this nature, combining the skills and experience of prominent individuals from football and the law.

Commenting after the hearing, Martin O’Neill said:

"It has taken a long time to deal with this matter but I am pleased that all issues have now been amicably finalised. I am very proud to have managed Aston Villa and I wish the club all the best for the future. I would also like to thank the LMA and my outstanding legal team, led by Paul Gilroy QC, and Geldards, solicitors, for their support and hard work in bringing my case to this very satisfactory conclusion. I am now looking forward to the future and getting back into football management.”



Martin O’Neill OBE has managed over 800 games in professional football and joined Aston Villa in August 2006. Having stabilised the club in his first season, O’Neill went on to improve the club’s points total in the Barclays Premier League in each the following three seasons. Other notable successes during his time in charge at Villa Park included European qualification and two Wembley appearances last season, their first final in 10 years in the Carling Cup.

Prior to joining Aston Villa, O'Neill delivered success for Wycombe Wanderers, Leicester City and Celtic. His prodigious achievements at all levels of the game include eight major trophies and three promotions in a managerial career now spanning over 20 years.

On his departure from Aston Villa, O’Neill was the 11th longest serving manager in English football.

Too much by the sound of it but at least we can move on now

Yes, i'm sure the club can (and will) and i hope certain posters on here can as well, although sadly i have a strange feeling for some, that'll be extremely difficult.

It sounds like they came to some agreement rather than either party gaining outright victory. Wouldn't be suprised if part of the ruling is both sides keep their mouths shut about the amount paid out.

[Villa'Zawg]

I hope one day we get to hear what went on. Glad it's finished and the board can get back to work.

[phantom limb]

About bloody time too, hopefully the club can start sorting out the team properly etc. etc.

Not necessarily. Might mean he went away with something, and he wants everyone to think he got the better deal.
