zak_lcfc Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 O'Neill as Director of Football shared with his Ireland role? Lennon as head coach?.After the speculation this week we could so much worse but it all depends whether he still has the motivation. Anyway 5/4 on skybet and odds on at other sites if that means anything 1/4 on William Hill, went from 8/1 to that extremely quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktfox59 Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 MON has had such a lot going on in his life of recent yrs. A lot of it sad, it makes me wonder whether he now would like to come back to a club in which he is genuinely held in great affection and with owners and a squad to go forward with.

Stevosevic Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 O'Neill with Shakespeare and Walsh could work wonderfully, but unfortunately I can't see them staying such is their loyalty to Pearson. You never know, they may Pearson's blessing to stay on if they are wanted, NP may feel some guilt about his/his son's behaviour costing his friends their positions also. Also, Shakey and Walsh may want to stay in the premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 Yesterday's man. I'd rather have the great memories he left me with as the best LCFC manager than come in and tarnish. We need a young, talented and progressive manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 He's currently 1/4 in willy hill shops... 1/4 is just too protect themselves that it's a done deal or to entice the "money buyers" who see the price and assume it's a done deal. His price is about 3/1 on Betfair http://sports.betfair.com/Index.do?mi=119328070&ex=1&origin=MRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blanesta Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 I think it would work, as long as we keep the back room staff, and also have realistic aims. Like just surviving, that should be the main aim for a few seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strokes Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 One fox on a shirt The coca cola cup still gleaming 15 years of hurt Never stopped me dreaming But I still see that tackle from Walsh And when cottee scored Heskey belting the ball And muzzy dancing One fox one shirt The coca cola cup still gleaming 15 years of hurt Never stopped me dreaming I know that was then But it could be again He's coming home He's coming home He's coming martins coming home.

Xen Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 some people saying he's not as motivated as he used to be when he was here. He was lauded here and rightly so, and if he came back I think he would revert to how he used to be personality-wise because of the previous connections. Id be happy with this appointment to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc_star Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 You never know, they may Pearson's blessing to stay on if they are wanted, NP may feel some guilt about his/his son's behaviour costing his friends their positions also. Also, Shakey and Walsh may want to stay in the premier league. There have been many reasons to sack Pearson, mainly the 13 game winless run combined with the FOAD/McArthur stuff & yes even the Thai video, especially involving his son. While many people could agree there were sound reasons to sack him, especially combined... I'd understand that & on many levels even agree with it But anyone who clings to that as the reason is kidding themselves. They saw a Sven 2.0 available and thought all their Christmases had come at once, and decided to get rid thinking he'll come but he turned them down. Piss poor decision making by them. Lets hope plan b, c, or z turn out ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktfox59 Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 I want progression and someone who will work well with this squad, not someone who will tear everything apart and try playing possession football. It won't work. O'Neill will work well with this squad as it already has the togetherness, camaraderie and work ethic that he likes in a team. He also likes 3-5-2 and playing direct at times (people don't like to admit it, but we were very long-ball at times last season). He would demand the respect of the squad instantly, I'm sure of it. He also shares something with Pearson, that air about him that players find infectious. So many times it was said during O'Neill's time here that the players would run through brick walls for him. This squad did that for Pearson and I'm confident they'd do it for O'Neill. We have to accept the facts and realities of the squad and infrastructure we have in place currently. Can we really see a Hiddink, Di Matteo, Ranieri etc honestly working well within it?[/quote I like this post v much. Cant agree more. The past players we have since seen coming out and praising the club for its great spirit and togetherness. Colleymore Flowers etc. Both of MON era. Sounds v similar to what nige had going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxholecharlie Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 I'm 65 and remember most of the old managers. And there is my point, Martin O'Neil is one of the "old managers" it’s time to get away from the past and look to the future with a younger man, one that wants to make his mark. Not appoint someone that has no need or desire too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy Fox Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 Wouldn't we need to approach the Irish FA before we could even speak to him? Unlikely that the interview scheduled for today would be with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewquayFox Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 O Neill with Walsh in the Robertson role and Shakespeare with them look a very good set up, we have a great back room set up too, only problem is if Pearson takes a job elsewhere would our coaches follow him?
