RoboFox Posted 15 January 2019 Posted 15 January 2019 He's always been a bit curmudgeonly. I hope he does well, personally. Would be great to see the man managing back in the Prem and I'd like to give Forest a good licking. It's been a long time, old foe.
Mendi Posted 15 January 2019 Posted 15 January 2019 A long time since he was at a club and the last few - Villa and Sunderland - the team went stale very quickly and his last few clubs he has ended up at loggerheads with fans. Throw Roy Keane into the mix and it could go horribly wrong. Forest have been getting through a manager a year now, the owner has an itchy trigger finger and the fans have very little patience. And some point they have to pick a young manager and a project and stick to it.
Nalis Posted 15 January 2019 Posted 15 January 2019 10 years time Things will go tits up for us and the only chance of silverware for either of us will be the biannual Martin O'Neill trophy....

foxy boxing Posted 15 January 2019 Posted 15 January 2019 Has been out of club management for 5 - 6 years and as we all know club football moves on very quickly nowadays!. didn't do too brilliantly at his previos clubs Sunderland and Aston Villa. was there a touch of sentimentality in him getting the job because he played for Forest!.

Judging by the #WelcomeHomeMartin, I would say yes.
urban.spaceman Posted 15 January 2019 Author Posted 15 January 2019 Some proper salty comments from trees in the Guardian article: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jan/15/martin-o-neill-confirmed-new-manager-nottingham-forest Particularly in reply to my other pseudonym....

lanefox Posted 15 January 2019 Posted 15 January 2019 How did he do a bad job at villa? His last 3 season he finished 6th with them and after that they went too shit

Poznan34 Posted 15 January 2019 Posted 15 January 2019 Hasn't managed in the Football League since 1996.
Suzie the Fox Posted 15 January 2019 Posted 15 January 2019 "O’Neill becomes the club’s 11th full-time boss since 2011" And i thought we were trigger happy.

Guest MattP Posted 15 January 2019 Posted 15 January 2019 Will be a disaster, as great as Martin was for us his football now is least a decade behind.

Golden Fox Posted 15 January 2019 Posted 15 January 2019 MON may not have had the same success of winning trophies at Villa and Sunderland, but on reflection, at both clubs, his finishing position was strong and events since his departure have shown how poor the ownership at both clubs was & that he may well have significantly over-performed at both of them.

They've done really well since... Love the bloke to bits but obviously hope he fails here.
