Return of O'Neill - divided opinion

[Damo70]

If Harry Redknapp gets the England job I would guess the two most excited people in the country will be a Scotsman who works on Merseyside and an Irish bloke who works in the North East.

[Ger Regan]

You're probably right, but there were plenty of Villa fans who didn't think O'Neill should have been given 10m or whatever it was if the intention was to spunk it on McGeady, and plenty who backed Lerner for making a stand when they realised how high the wages to turnover ratio had risen under O'Neill's regime.

It was too late by then though. When the brakes (or perhaps more accurately greater caution) should have put on a couple of seasons previous to that, I can't imagine too many fans would have been in that camp. And I'll hold my hands up and say that it wasn't until the january / february of his final season that I wanted MON out.

Spurs wont touch MON. His Villa tantrum has seen to that.

I think there's no chance he'd be on their radar. One Swallow and all that.

Agreed.

If Harry goes I can see them bringing an overseas manager in.

DiMatteo must be in with a shout for that one.

Do you think Spurs really want KKKenny the way he is managing???

I think he was reffering to David Moyes and not Burger King Kenny

Common knowledge up here that Moyes has done his 10 year stint at Neverton and is off to Spuds if arry gets the stint at Wembley

Would rather he came up to the Villa but I suppose it's just a pipe dream

Similar subject was being discussed at yahoo answers last week. I can post the link if needed.

Didn't clap and didn't boo. 

In my time following the Villa, whatever was going on in the background,  I still reckon that Saunders's was by far the greater betrayal.  However, he'd also delivered the greatest returns of any manager I've known.  As for MON, when all is said and done I simply miss the buzz of him being our manager, especially in those first couple of seasons.  I reckon it'll be a long time before there's that feeling again.   

I agree with that. I enjoyed the time under MON more than any other since BL and BFR.

Having said that if Saunders hadn't walked out we may not have have won the European Cup. Sometimes life and footie is strange like that (who'd have thought Chelsea with Di Matteo would beat Barca). I'll take winning the European Cup under Tony Barton (and with every year of failure by Arse, Man U etc. and hopefully Chelsea it becomes more impressive) even if it meant the subsequent decline.
