CHRIS SUTTON: Martin O'Neill reveals that he would have been 'delighted' to have taken the Leicester job, if they had called... and insists that the 'high press' has been around since 1976!

That has to be the longest title in Foxestalk history.

[Scotch]

What a surprise! That clown on here demanding people thank him for his inside info was talking out his arse!

[shailen]

No one wanted to touch us in fear of relegation on their CV. Smith (whether qualified or not) took it on and has revitalised and re-energized the group. 

 

Sutton had us down anyway so he's a clown

[David Hankey]

MoN has a special place in the history of our Club. Let's leave it there.

[SheppyFox]

Nah I’m glad we went with DS.

[iancognito]

They never were going to call. He's been out of club football for about 8 years. It's not even as much as a non-story.

I stopped reading at Chris Sutton. Guy is an absolute dick and just likes to say ridiculous things to get himself noticed. See also Gabby Agbonlahor

[String fellow]

'Chris Sutton' anagrams to 'Ostrich nuts', if that's any help.

He’s just wants to be controversial for attention and to stay relevant. Sad really.

When has he (Sutton) ever been relevant?

It's a record breaker Norris!👍🏼🤣

The only thing involving Sutton worth watching.

I don't want to be regionalist here but whenever I hear Sutton giving his opinion on the radio all I can picture is a farmer leaning over a gate chatting s**t about the football he knows nothing about.

I mean, I've probably hated Sutton longer than everyone on here but I don't get what he's said here that's contreversial....

He was a very good player.

To be fair, if Dean Smith turned us down they'd have been massively struggling, and Martin might have been a safe bet to at least not get a backlash by going for someone really uninspiring from lower leagues. I think it's more likely than you think. Especially considering they went for him before we got Sven in.

 

So glad with what we got though. I don't think anything other than this set up would have given us a better chance. Just baffling we even concerned Marsch.

I actually really like Sutton, he is clearly a wind-up and is smarter than most in football so just riles people up

 

Can tell when he has that wry smile

 

Sometimes he makes salient points as well, ever since I saw him talking about his Dad's dementia I really begun to like him

MON Director of football? Replacing Jon Rudkin.

 

Could it work: Mon Director. DS Manager with Shakey and Terry in support.

That actually looks like Dean smith making that tackle! Who was it?

[MattFox]

O’Neil never sounds warm about us

I would have been happy with MON.

 

 

 

But honestly what Dean Smith brings to the table is that he brings some excellent coaches with him that he knows and works well with. I can’t help but think that if MON had got the call he would have been scrambling around to get some coaches to form a coaching team that potentially haven’t coached together before.

Stephen Craigan I think his name was 

[Koke]

He's been out of football for way too long. At least Hodgson has been managing consistently.
