Mon to manage Republic of Ireland?

[john e]

Over 80 posts, and not even in "Other Football". The continuing obsession with O'Neill is embarrassing!

I agree we are obsessed with him,
but then he has had a massive effect on the club over the last 6 years, and we are still feeling the fallout
so its understandable I think

[London Villan]

Has he resigned yet??

I have a lot more good things to say about MON than bad but he did seem to be past his best at Sunderland. If he is going to have one more shot at management then International football might be his best bet.

I think the words you were straining for were 'busted' and 'flush'..

Believe it or not, those were the exact words in my head when I posted that but I chose not to use them. But yes, that sums up what he appeared to be at Sunderland.

According to Ssn bookies in Ireland have suspended betting on mon being named as republic manager - seems he is about to be named.

See 'New Job for Judas?' in Other Football.

Indeed. Get over him, James, he's gone. You know it makes sense.

Speaking of MON lovers, I've just been on an Irish football forum and the latest member to sign up is somebody called 'Villadag'. It couldn't be, could it?

It is hardly a symptom of being unable to "get over" MON, though, is it?

He's about to get a job managing in international football. I am sure we'd have a thread about it for other former managers. I am sure there will be one when McLeish washes up somewhere rubbish with his gloomy football, too.

Why on earth would anyone find that embarassing?

Joining the list of villa managers who have managed at international level -
Mercer, Docherty, Taylor, venglos, Mcleish ,houllier and o Neill if confirmed - has any other club had so many managers who have managed at international level?

Surely 7 must be a record.

Was he spouting about statistics, and graphs from the mon era - if so  he's the man
What ever happened to the old dawg anyway ?

A very small percentage of our fans never got over him leaving and still believe MON was too good for us. Some stayed, others went off to join the Mackems and are probably right now on iTunes buying up albums by The Dubliners.

He's out there somewhere, waiting for the call.  Like in TELEFON.
