Anyone who lived through the MoN era won't be clamouring for his return. Just speak for yourself, I personally thought it was a great era. Winning or losing you always felt part of something. I've never felt so defranchised and disinterested over the last couple of years with Rodgers. 13
Bog Posted 7 April 2023 Posted 7 April 2023 Probably planting spuds today. Thinking about the SNP and not about football.

That's why I don't necessarily think we should go back. Same reason we wouldn't want Ranners. 3

Same reason we wouldn't want Ranners. I understand the reason you'd say that and it's certainly a valid one. I do think though that Stowell and Sadler, however committed they are, are perhaps a bit too close to the players and any internal politics. A new face with the motivational qualities O'Neil has might just straighten things out and simplify them for a squad of players that are more than talented and capable of staying up. Would it ruin his legacy if we were relegated? Not for me personally because a large portion of our support are half expecting it anyway and you'd have to be very unreasonable to judge someone over what could be an 8 game season compared to what went before. I certainly think it would inject a huge amount of support and emotional support on a match day. Nevertheless I appreciate where you're coming from. Top and the board have contrived to leave us in a huge mess. The decision, though absolutely the right one imo, has been executed at a ridiculous point in time. If Top applies the same business acumen to the rest of Vichai's empire you'd fear for the family's future. He appears to be a very genuine and well meaning man but he and his board has made a complete horlicks of this. 2

The Horse's Mouth Posted 7 April 2023 Posted 7 April 2023 I don’t get the whole tarnishing his legacy thing, we go down it’ll be on Rodgers. Not that this is a good idea either but I don’t buy that, man’s gonna be a caretaker 1

stourbridgefox Posted 7 April 2023 Posted 7 April 2023 I know his football here was a bit basic, but the truth is a bit of up and at 'em is probably what will keep us up. I didn't watch what he did elsewhere closely enough to know whether he has more strings to his bow.
I am an Ostrich Posted 7 April 2023 Posted 7 April 2023 MON, Harry f**king Houdini couldn't get us out of this mess.... 👍

Then football fans go and do it themselves with the utterly pointless MON v Pearson debate. Both were of their time and both were an ENORMOUS net positive for this club, leaving legacies, memories and teams who we will never forget. There's absolutely no need or no point in trying to compare them on who was better. Can we not just appreciate what both of them gave to this club across their spells without the need to ask who was better? Lordy I would say during a discussion over one possibly becoming our new manager and others thinking the other would be better, would be precisely the appropriate time to dicuss who was better as an argument for who would be better now, on a football forum set up for discussion and nothing else. Nowt to do with the press or combined XI's. Totally self generated and a discussion deemed worth having by those involved. Those who don't want to, may I suggest just reading it, or not, and perhaps moving on and leaving others to choose what they discuss? Just a thought. Live and let live type shit innit.

Basically it sounded a bit like a dogs dinner in that he rarely got to see the players for any training sessions to see and evaluate them and probably just an afternoon before a match that sort of thing to the best of my memory. 1
Claudio Fannieri Posted 8 April 2023 Posted 8 April 2023 This seems to have gone quiet …….wonder if O’Neill wanted to bring in an assistant such as Keane or Lennon who wanted a guarantee they would be Manager next season, and the board weren’t prepared to accept.
