Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 9 August 2010 Posted 9 August 2010 Ooer. Bit of a lose lose situation at Villa, really. Stupid, Geordie like expectations.

Fox in a Box Posted 9 August 2010 Posted 9 August 2010 Just heard on telly... 'more details after break' Blimey On talksport now
Claridges'Shin Posted 9 August 2010 Posted 9 August 2010 Maybe somthing to do with the Milner Possible transfer saga ?
MC Prussian Posted 9 August 2010 Posted 9 August 2010 He gave Villa so much stability, success and a glimpse of European competitions - surely the best manager they've ever had? (Apart from not winning a title in four years, that is) Senseless decision - unless he couldn't bare working for them no more.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 9 August 2010 Author Posted 9 August 2010 Aha. Where is he off to then? Let's say Kansas City Wizards.
wiggy Posted 9 August 2010 Posted 9 August 2010 All seeeeeems pretty amicable what with quotes from MON on the Villa OS and him saying he'll be assisting with the handover...
lildave3 Posted 9 August 2010 Posted 9 August 2010 Shocked by this. Bad for Villa, very bad for Villa.
Jon the Hat Posted 9 August 2010 Posted 9 August 2010 All seeeeeems pretty amicable what with quotes from MON on the Villa OS and him saying he'll be assisting with the handover... Sounds like he was told he would not get any of the Milner cash to spend, and decided he could not take them any further,
Corky Posted 9 August 2010 Posted 9 August 2010 He gave Villa so much stability, success and a glimpse of European competitions - surely the best manager they've ever had? Senseless decision - unless he couldn't bare working for them no more. I think the bloke who won the European Cup with Villa will have something to say about that He was a good manager for Villa, we'll see how good he was this season.
Liamlcfc1 Posted 9 August 2010 Posted 9 August 2010 Brian Laws early favourite to take over. :crylaugh: :crylaugh: :crylaugh: :crylaugh: :crylaugh: :crylaugh:
JimmyK Posted 9 August 2010 Posted 9 August 2010 Didn't see that one coming, thought he was perfectly settled in there. Does seem a fairly amicable split. Really curious to know where MON will go and who'll replace him there. Though I'll be astonished if anyone else gets them closer than to the top four than he did.
Guest Basildon Fox Posted 9 August 2010 Posted 9 August 2010 From the quotes on the bbc report it does not sound like he left under a cloud. Just wonder if there is something else involved. The reason why he left Celtic was because his wife had cancer. I hope that this is not the reason again. Strange one. Martin O'Neill resigns as Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill O'Neill led Villa to sixth in the Premier League last season Martin O'Neill has resigned as Aston Villa manager with immediate effect. Kevin MacDonald has been appointed caretaker boss while no reason has been given for O'Neill's decision to leave after four years in the job. MacDonald will prepare the side for their Premier League opener against West Ham on Saturday. O'Neill, appointed in 2006, said: "I have enjoyed my time at Aston Villa immensely. It's obviously a wrench to be leaving such a magnificent club." More to follow.
Uncle Monty Posted 9 August 2010 Posted 9 August 2010 Just read this, what the shit?! Must be something serious going on back stage eh?
Ricey Posted 9 August 2010 Posted 9 August 2010 Very strange. Can only presume he's been pissed about by the board. Triumphant return for Martin O'God in a few months? No?.....fair enough.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 9 August 2010 Author Posted 9 August 2010 Probably just annoyed at having to be one of the Premier League's 'selling clubs.' Must be something to do with the whole Milner business.
Frost Posted 9 August 2010 Posted 9 August 2010 O'Neill on the whole got treated like shit by the Villa fans. Unbelievable really, considering where they were when he came in. Glad he's left them, ungrateful twats.
Lisburn Fox Posted 9 August 2010 Posted 9 August 2010 Cappello did not look to happy at the press conf, maybe he's had enough of the English media and decided to fich ouff and MoN gets the chance to manage England ????
Tommeh Posted 9 August 2010 Posted 9 August 2010 Good. Villa really do think they're big time at the moment, back to where they belong please mid-table nobodies. Mon is much better than them.
MattyFromLE Posted 9 August 2010 Posted 9 August 2010 Has he left Villa? Few people on facebook saying he has! Anyone got any more info as on my phone!!
