Would you have MON back!!

[Gaztonniller]

Not a chance. He's a major reason we are in the position we are in today. For a large part of his time with us he was good for the club but the ending was very sour indeed. No one person is bigger than the club and tried to be.

And he has probably learned that such good positions and clubs dont come very often as he is finding out now.
And as you at least are brave enough to admit, he was good for the club. Now add a bit of sweet syrup to remove any sourness and a manager with a good track record is back at the helm.

the sad thing is wether we wanted him back or not MO'N is too big for this club now

Without a shadow of a doubt the most pathetically stupid thing i've ever read on the internet.

really?

its not what the shortlist we have is telling me

we are looking (realistically) at managers below even his level now

Indeed. There's no way he'd want to work within the financial constraints he helped to create.

[Toronto Villa]

Absolutely not! His football bored me to the brink of tears towards the end.

even the games away from home?

And what has he done since August to make him too big for us? What top-class teams have been beating a path to his door, desperate to acquire his services?   

[PeterWithesShin]

I agree they were good signings Holtenderinthesky, but my point is that GV claimed MoN should be considered as manager again partly because of his signings. Milner was an obvious one we would all have made after his loan spell. So that really leaves only AY as talent spotted and it was obvious he had something at Watford, fair play it was us who stumped up the cash.

But the amount we spunked on fees and wages under MoN far outweighs the profit we will make on those 2, or even 3 if we sell Downing.

ok we are all guessing


did we ask to speak to Martinez?

not a good start

better or worse than MON in your opinion?

[phantom limb]

He's not coming back, I don't want him back and to be honest you don't want him back either. FUCK IT.

[madirishvillain]

wow wow lads

im not saying MON is world class, far from it

the sad fact of the matter is, where we are now we cant even attract a manager of his standing - even now after being out of the game for a season


unless we are starting with Martinez then working our way up?

[Louzie0]

Er...didn't he just drag the club through a tribunal?  After teddy went sailing out of the pram?

So what happens the next time he throws his toys out of the pram then?

That was the sentence I would have written almost to the word if I wasn't playing devils advocate.  However, Carew for Baros, Ash, Milner, Downing, Friedel, Delph, and to some extent I have to say Dunne and Collins were inspired signings.  The latter pair were part of the side that almost saw us into the CL with a couple of trophies and so I think MON deserves credit for bringing them in and getting them playing.
