Yeah, my slow brain didn't realise he meant Martin! 

I don't think he did, did he? They've got different surnames for one thing. For another, MON has done about five months of club management in the last decade so I don't think there's any way anyone could be confident of his ability to get us promoted

Is he though? Football possibly plays only a miniscule part of Top's life. Equally likely is that Top views City,.and football general,.a little like I might occasionally check the gas and electric and car insurance prices. 

 

He's Thai. Even if he was an absolute football obsessive, his knowledge of the game would be on par  (at best) with a 7 year old UK football obsessive. 

Thought this myself. The Maresca Man City stuff conveniently came after they'd just won the treble. I'd imagine in the summer it'll be "Sean Dyche promised me he'd have us playing like PSG"

That’s it boys. It’s happening. Football leaks has dropped a bomb. 

Having to pay off RVN if he walks and pay Sheff Wed 5 million quid this ain't happening.

That twitter post has 2 followers and one was probably the poster

Let’s be honest, the majority of football obsessed people in this country still no absolutely nothing. You only have to take a quick glance at some of the opinions on here.

 

I believe there’s always a need for a competent director of football. A yes man, to someone that wants us to be like the best team on the telly is simply doomed for failure.

I did realise which one he meant and I still don't rate him. Never have. 

 

Still seething over that Sheff United match at Filbo.

Whatever Top's shortcomings running the show on his own, I thought that he was a football obsessive.  So much so that that was the reason Vichai bought the club.

If you believe that, then I won't ruin the Santa claus story for you 

 

[murphy]

There is plenty out there to suggest that Vichai bought a club to bond with his football obsessed son (Top), but if you know better, let's hear it.

Dont think Rohl will come here, Brentford need a new manager, they could go for Rohl, 

they could go for McKenna from Ipswich and they could go for Rohl, 

think this ship will sail sadly as this club are idiotic

You don’t like Martin O’Neil because of a Sheffield Utd match, you’ll have to remind me of this horrendous moment from a legend of Leicester as my memory isn’t what it used to be

It'll be the 0-2 defeat at the back end of the 1995-96 season.

Wasn’t this at the start of his career where he was booed off the pitch and shouted at by some Leicester fans ?

Yes, infamous game although I was a bit too young to really remember it!

I always wondered who was shouting at Martin that day, looks like he just revealed himself after all these years 🥴

Went on to become a legend and he unfortunately never forgot the abuse he got which gave him an excuse to join Celtic sadly. 
Hes too old now though to manage us and I’d prefer to remember to good times.

He never forgot that game, that's for sure. Brought it up in interviews decades later

 

Yes, absolute legend. Loved him. Was gutted when he left us.

Don't think it's as easy as that. Brentford are a very data driven and analytical club so will choose their next manager based want metrics they are looking for. 

They could very easily look abroad and probably will, don't think Rohl and Mckenna will be early favourites.

Dear God it was a joke. As if anyone would dismiss what MON did for us because of one match.

Rohl is 20/1 for the Brentford job. Interestingly, McKenna is currently favourite at 5/4.

McKenna sort of has been but probably has a high release clause
