Babylon Posted 26 September 2010 Posted 26 September 2010 The mere fact that O'neil's reign is brought up suggests to me that people think Sousa is going to turn it around in the same way O'neil did. Well i've brought it up several times and i've never said I think he will turn it around, the point is brought up to show that it's not impossible to turn it around. You've been on the blokes back before a ball had hardly even been kicked, don't talk about you only deal with facts. Why are we not using these comparisons? The reason is because it's only coming from a bunch of people on here who are insecure about the present situation and are to stubborn to realise that the club is sinking under Sousa and quickly. If you want to use those comparisons you can do, just as others are free to bring up the others. There is absolutely nothing stubborn in people thinking 8 league games is till rather early in a managers career at a club to sack him. Especially when said manager has a track record of slow starts. It seems I've touched a nerve with you and you can't seem to accept my point of view but that's your problem not mine. Errr pot kettle black (see below).... seems like people have "touched a nerve with you and you can't seem to accept my point of view but that's your problem not mine." What is the obsession on here with comparing Sousa's start with O'neill. Two completely different managers in different eras. This isn't the bible where history is going to magically repeat itself. It reeks of desperation and is quite embarrassing to be honest. Unfortunately the ironies lost on me, if you're happy to give a manger who's proud of his players when they get hammered 6-1 more time then God save us all. Happy? Who says i'm happy, have I said i'm happy about losing, or happy about having Sousa as manager? I've stated 20 times i've got the same concerns as everyone else and was worried about Sousa before he'd even joined after reading the Swansea boards. But he's the manager and there is nothing any of us can do about it. I try to look at it from the bigger picture as hopefully the board do also. You have a man 8 league games into his career here, a man and his staff on contracts worth millions, a man who had a similarly slow start at his last club, a man who wasn't given money until the last couple of days of the window. With signings which, lets face it could easily have been handed to him rather than him requesting them. They will have seen some decent stuff mixed in with some terrible and they will have seen the back luck we've faced in a couple of games. On the other hand of course they will know they we cannot afford to go down, they will know results have been poor. They will know EXACTLY what is going on with the players and whether there is unrest, not just going off rumours on here. It's a very fine balancing act between when is being rash, when is being too slow, and when is the right time to get rid of him. I can't say when it will be, but I do believe they will give him at least two more games to get a result. And even then his position will probably be hanging by a thread for a few games after that until he can prove a corner has been turned.
kimsalabim Posted 27 September 2010 Posted 27 September 2010 let's get Paul Dickov back and give him the job Not a bad idea .
Ibbyfox Posted 27 September 2010 Posted 27 September 2010 Why do we need an English manager? Our (arguably) best manger to date wasn't English. Who? Think he means MON ............................... he's Irish.
HonradaRaposa Posted 27 September 2010 Posted 27 September 2010 Really? Honestly? Seriously? :crylaugh: On what basis?
Legend_in_blue Posted 27 September 2010 Posted 27 September 2010 No chance. How much have you been drinking tonight?
HonradaRaposa Posted 27 September 2010 Posted 27 September 2010 No chance. How much have you been drinking tonight? I keep reading on various threads people advocating a return for O'Neill. At first I thought it was someone being ironic, but now it has grown to more than a couple of mentalists.
rico Posted 27 September 2010 Posted 27 September 2010 We'll have no need for him after tomorrow when we go on an unbeaten 38 game run until the end of the season anyway !
Narborough_fox Posted 27 September 2010 Posted 27 September 2010 We'll have no need for him after tomorrow when we go on an unbeaten 38 game run until the end of the season anyway ! Liking the optimism.
Salieri Posted 27 September 2010 Posted 27 September 2010 I keep reading on various threads people advocating a return for O'Neill. At first I thought it was someone being ironic, but now it has grown to more than a couple of mentalists. I think there's a huge amount that would love to see him come back, but about 0.01% of them genuinely believe it could happen at this moment in time. And frankly, they're clearly barking.
Lord Fox Posted 27 September 2010 Posted 27 September 2010 Never in a month of Sundays - and who's to say he'd be as sucessfull a 2nd time round? Having said that - I might just be a liitle excited if he did return ...only a liitle bit mind.
Jakemoore Posted 27 September 2010 Posted 27 September 2010 My dad started the "bring back MON" discussion, he was clearly being ambitious and unrealistic bit we're just so upset with City's start that we'll say anything to make us feel better
Jordan Posted 27 September 2010 Posted 27 September 2010 We'll have no need for him after tomorrow when we go on an unbeaten 38 game run until the end of the season anyway ! DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD won't get us enough points to avoid relegation.
cambridgefox Posted 27 September 2010 Posted 27 September 2010 We'll have no need for him after tomorrow when we go on an unbeaten 38 game run until the end of the season anyway ! We can dream! oh you forgot the cup runs!
smallpauldj Posted 27 September 2010 Posted 27 September 2010 well there was strong rumours Heskey was coming back at the start of the season so until he finds his next club why cant we dream?
Jackirius Posted 27 September 2010 Posted 27 September 2010 Well i know im just pissing around because i know that it will never happen. But would love too see it
Jimothy Posted 27 September 2010 Posted 27 September 2010 If we sack Sousa, we should at least make an approach. Worst that can happen is he says no. I would be delighted and amazed if he said yes, but I would hate to find out after employing Pardew or someone that we could have got O'Neill of we'd only asked.
Lord Fox Posted 27 September 2010 Posted 27 September 2010 If we sack Sousa, we should at least make an approach. Worst that can happen is he says no. I would be delighted and amazed if he said yes, In a sick perverted sort of way I hope your right, and hey, what's another 3 minus goals in our goal difference anyway (did I really just say that, god it must be bad?) - if it gets rid of the Muppet? Sorry to all of Jim Hendersons Muppet's for the comment
Guest BlueBrett Posted 27 September 2010 Posted 27 September 2010 I'll tell you what, if I win the 82million quid euromillions on Friday I'll offer to pay his wages. I'll even fork out for a Megabus to take Paulo back to Portugal.
Samilktray Posted 27 September 2010 Posted 27 September 2010 well there was strong rumours Heskey was coming back at the start of the season so until he finds his next club why cant we dream? What strong rumours?
Shipman Out Posted 27 September 2010 Posted 27 September 2010 Really? Honestly? Seriously? :crylaugh: On what basis? By people, do you mean human beings with a brain? Oh you do, well that's easy then. NO.
lcfc_forever Posted 27 September 2010 Posted 27 September 2010 I don't believe he'll come back but .........: http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Martin-O-Neill-is-being-targeted-for-a-shock-return-as-Leicester-City-boss-in-place-of-Paulo-Sousa-article589679.html O'Neill targeted for sensational Leicester return Published 23:00 27/09/10 By Football Spy Martin O'Neill has been targeted for a sensational return to Leicester – as Paulo Sousa fights to save his job.
