Jace Posted 10 July 2015 Posted 10 July 2015 It's unbelievable that most of you actually seem pleased at the prospect. Oh well, I like Leicester City (I remember cheering for you against manu in the first FA Cup Final I ever watched) but you aren't my team so the disaster awaiting you won't touch me especially. I'll have enough problems with my own team as I think we'll do well to stay up, but you were looking so good as the season ended and MO'N is so obviously a terrible appointment, if you stop thinking of the man you had before he left for Celtic and think of the man you'd be getting now. He wasn't just bad in his latter months with us, he clearly no longer had a clue It's just our bad luck that we'll face you first as the initial impetus will probably see you thrash us. You're not Prekis agent by any chance?
ROKERITE Posted 10 July 2015 Posted 10 July 2015 So who has been good for you? We got two or three good seasons from Reid, though I never liked the bloke and he should have gone eighteen months before he did. Stokoe won us The FA Cup of course but then failed to build on it. I suppose you'd have to go back to Johnny Cochrane in the 1930's, but that was well before even I was born. The one manager in my lifetime I'd like to have seen given the time to mould the club as he'd have wished to was Paolo Di Canio, but he only got a dozen matches unfortunately.
CosbehFox Posted 10 July 2015 Posted 10 July 2015 Strange how times change. When people wanted Pearson out around that Barnsley game 2 seasons ago people were chanting O'Neill's name. Now we have a vacant managers position and have been linked with high profile names such as Hiddink and Di Matteo, suddenly he's not good enough anymore! I was at the Barnsley game and I hadn't even had a drink but can't remember that. Most of the away end was that stunned at what we were seeing that none of us could speak.
daddylonglegs Posted 10 July 2015 Posted 10 July 2015 As an Irishman and Foxes fan I can attest to the fact that he has been terrible as Ireland manager. I lived in Leicester when he was there and that passion on the sideline in his tracksuit has been tacken over by a reserved middle aged man in a strangling suit. He's not how we remember him in those cup finals. The passion is gone. Let's go for someone fresh. How about Gary Monk???? The garry monk comment is absolutely ludicrous. Other than that I agree - doubt we'd see him jumping around anymore

I mean for god sake, who would want a manager back who previously won two trophies with you and created a team capable of standing up against any of the PL elites, insanity isn't it.......
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 10 July 2015 Posted 10 July 2015 Did you actually watch us play under O'Neill? We played quick ball down the channels for the strikers to run on to. We played with width and wipped balls in, we had some excellent ball players in the middle who could mix it up and play nice stuff, with three big brutish no nonsense centre backs. Essentially, very similar to what has brought us success under Pearson the back end of last season. If you think we were some kind of Stoke under Pulis then you are massively mistaken. Spot on babs
CosbehFox Posted 10 July 2015 Posted 10 July 2015 The idea Maritn would take over and allow us to go down is laughable...have no fear he would keep us up this season..... and as it stands now..........that's all that counts..'Allow us to go down' Due to his previous success does he have some some of aura which stops us from having a poor season? I find it odd that some folk think he cares about us. He doesn't. We were a stepping stone for him. With his current form, it's attractive for him to take a job where criticism will be held off. I mean for god sake, who would want a manager back who previously won two trophies with you and created a team capable of standing up against any of the PL elites, insanity isn't it.......Back in 1997, nearly 20 years ago.And please don't allow the fact he has a small pool to choose from as Ireland manager. A very inexperience manager at Northern Ireland with even smaller pool has them outperforming Ireland.

You are harking back to the 1930's to talk up a decent Sunderland manager and yet your on here telling us O'neill is shit? Somebody call a Dr.
Salieri Posted 10 July 2015 Posted 10 July 2015 Well up for this, come back MON (just don't bring that bearded cvnt with you).
daddylonglegs Posted 10 July 2015 Posted 10 July 2015 I was at the Barnsley game and I hadn't even had a drink but can't remember that. Most of the away end was that stunned at what we were seeing that none of us could speak. 'Around the Barnsley game' I also think i remember hearing his name sung. He was definitely who people wanted. You're right about how shit we were. Can you believe that was so recent? We beat Manchester United this year and were relatively recently, under the same manager, completely outclassed by BARNSLEY
whoareyaaa Posted 10 July 2015 Posted 10 July 2015 Well up for this, come back MON (just don't bring that bearded cvnt with you). MON & Keane dream team.
ROKERITE Posted 10 July 2015 Posted 10 July 2015 I mean for god sake, who would want a manager back who previously won two trophies with you and created a team capable of standing up against any of the PL elites, insanity isn't it....... Yes, it is. Martin O'Neill WAS a very good manager, better than any Sunderland have had in my lifetime. If we'd had him when you had him how pleased we'd all have been. But time moves on and managers' abilities wane. You should know this as one of your former managers is the classic example of someone whose star blazed briefly then burnt out, and clubs were still giving him jobs on the basis of what he'd once been years later. Coincidentally, it was at Villa that he, Brian Little, lost that special something too.

foxes_rule1978 Posted 10 July 2015 Posted 10 July 2015 That statement tells you what Sunderland are about ... bet on that they will have at least 2 or 3 managers in and scrape survival again...
hackneyfox Posted 10 July 2015 Posted 10 July 2015 Back in 1997, nearly 20 years ago. We won the cup in 2000, 15 years ago.
itsaknockeart Posted 10 July 2015 Posted 10 July 2015 The one manager in my lifetime I'd like to have seen given the time to mould the club as he'd have wished to was Paolo Di Canio, but he only got a dozen matches unfortunately. I can't imagine many in the Red half of Newcastle concurring with that.
My Nads Posted 10 July 2015 Posted 10 July 2015 We can say bye to Mahrez then, flair doesn't fit into an O'Neill side. Izzet?
Tielemans63 Posted 10 July 2015 Posted 10 July 2015 I'd like to be more excited than I actually am about this. Just can't help but feel that he's not the whirlwind he once was. I was in my early teens in the O'Neill era and those are still my greatest City memories (closely followed by NP parts 1 and 2) and I'd be gutted if he was a dud second time round. He's been gash for Eire which makes me nervous.
CosbehFox Posted 10 July 2015 Posted 10 July 2015 We won the cup in 2000, 15 years ago. Still a generation of players within the game has come and gone. Beat Middlesbrough 1997 hence what I was referring to.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 10 July 2015 Posted 10 July 2015 Still a generation of players within the game has come and gone. Beat Middlesbrough 1997 hence what I was referring to.Well still O'Neill never has been relegated and has had a more fruitful 15 years than what we have. He has achieved at every club he has managed...
Kitchandro Posted 10 July 2015 Posted 10 July 2015 Does any other cvnt want to say he was shit at villa? Retards

All the times I haves watched the Republic, they have worked their socks off and punched above their weight. A bit like Scotland under Strachan.
Callabinho Posted 10 July 2015 Posted 10 July 2015 Does any other cvnt want to say he was shit at villa? Retards There's some ****tards post on this forum unfortunately.
