whoareyaaa Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 Why the **** would you want Dave Jones here? He only "knows this division" well because he couldn't fucking get out of it. Neil Warnock is the most overhyped, under-achieving, serial failure in sport but even he's gotten out of this league more than Jones! :crylaugh:

Neil Warnock is the most overhyped, under-achieving, serial failure in sport but even he's gotten out of this league more than Jones! He's done it one more time? Jones has done it once, dismantling Warnocks Sheffield United 3-0 in a playoff final. But yeah, hes done it more. Truth is no I do not want Jones here. I agree with you. What I am saying is how can you put someone like OGS ahead of people like Jones and Davies. I did not and will not ever say I want Jones. I guess its down to how people perceive potential against experience. If your opinion is different then fair enough.
Finnegan Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 I think rob's right about it more being down to O'Neill responding to the speculation (even in private) within the next couple of days otherwise we need to move on. If O'Neill says no I wouldn't mind Mixu Panttelian (sp -Current hibs boss and former cowdenbeath chief) Behave. Mix' is a Hibee legend but he's generally garbage. And he left Easter Road a couple of years ago and is now the national manager of his native Finland.

Ozwin Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 Why the **** would you want Dave Jones here? He only "knows this division" well because he couldn't fucking get out of it. Amen, as if we'd get rid of an internationally renowned manager for Dave ****ing Jones.
Guest Bilo Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 I just do not understand how you can call OGS ahead of people like Davies or Jones. Hey, I'd love him to come and do well but there is not much basis for us to think he would do any better than an awful lot of other managers out there. Bags of potential maybe but for every Brendan Rodgers there are scores of reserve coaches who have never or will never achieve anything at first team level. To base the argument that OGS will do well (or better than a host of other managers) off a decent reserve record and a good season in Norway is flimsy. Thats not being sniffy. Dave Jones is a decent man and reasonable manager but by god he struggles to get out of this division. That Cardiff team should have walked it last year and they ended up being dry bummed at home in the play-offs. He wouldn't inspire a huge amount of confidence, we'd be very much a nearly team a la Cardiff and that's not good enough. Billy Davies would be more welcome, at least he knows how to get a team promoted once in a blue moon, but it's seldom sustainable and he was more out of his depth than Stephen Hawking on a cross channel swim in the Premiership. He'd also be up against it with the fans being ex Forest and Derby. Fair play he knows how to make his teams tough to beat, encourages attractive football and personality wise would be the nasty cvnt we need but there isn't enough of a package there long term. Most in the game seem to rate Solskjaer as a good future prospect as well. I've said before that OGS isn't my first choice though. MON tops the list by a mile, followed by Mark Hughes and then the likes of Lee Clark and Roberto Di Matteo. All solid, obvious choices but with their best years ahead of them. Jones and Davies have tried and failed with several clubs and would be uninspiring picks.
Finnegan Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 He's done it one more time? Twice as many as Jones! Look, you won't find many (if any) posters on here more supportive of anything Cardiff on FT; but Jones is gash. If he's not good enough for the Bluebirds he isn't good enough for us, fact. If we have the money and the resources to be chasing the likes of Sparky and O'Neill or even Di Matteo then I'll be massively disappointed if we end up with some football league journeyman. Don't misread into my squabble with Thracian, I'd actually quite like to see OGS here over some dogsbody like Jones or Davies any day.

The Doctor Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 Behave. Mix' is a Hibee legend but he's generally garbage. And he left Easter Road a couple of years ago and is now the national manager of his native Finland. Could have sworn he was still with Hibbees - still love him for his work with Cowdenbeath though.
BIEREDeLuxe Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 i don't believe this story for a second. Let;s get real, Sven's sacking will have been decided AT LEAST 10 days ago. Is anyone seriously suggesting the board didn't sound out MON before Sven was sacked?? Pull the other one. This is all about telling the fans that MON aint interested - paving the way for Sparky to ride in on his white stallion.
Kitchandro Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 I doubt the owners would be so stupid as to back Martin into a corner. Anyway, I thought Bert said he was uncontactable!! They don't know Martin O'Neill, and Top is a loaded 25 year old bloke.

Jones and Davies have tried and failed with several clubs and would be uninspiring picks. I totally agree regarding Jones. Im just saying that well, at least Jones has taken a team up . . . OGS hasn't. I don't see how just because he's not got Cardiff up he is ultimately < OGS. Simple as that. OGS would not be high on my list however, although I am learning that a few posters on here quite liked the idea, so fair enough. I think the whole Davies not being a long term solution is harsh. Well a tad harsh. Derby spent a fraction of what you'd presume we would if we got promoted and he has hardly ever had a squad as good as our current crop on paper. Hes taken almost quite ordinary outfits and turned them into solid promotion contenders. Again though, I'd say he is uninspiring. If i was forced to go a bit left field with it all I'd actually go for Slaven Bilic. Although I would prefer not to take a gamble of that sorts whatsoever. Not saying he'd come anyway.

Guest Col city fan Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 Don't be too quick to judge Top and the gang aren't stupid IMO. They'll just about know who's coming and who ain't Just have to be patient and trust them.. What else can we do?

Happy Fox Posted 25 October 2011 Author Posted 25 October 2011 Martin O'Neill considers shock return to Leicester City • O'Neill concerned by club's treatment of Sven-Goran Eriksson • Former Celtic manager would want guarantees of funds reddit this Stuart James The Guardian, Wednesday 26 October 2011 Article history Martin O'Neill, seen here in 1998, is considering making a shock return to Leicester City. Photograph: Allsport Martin O'Neill is weighing up the prospect of making a sensational return to Leicester City, 11 years after he left the Midlands club to join Celtic. The Northern Irishman, who has been out of work since he walked out on Aston Villa on the eve of last season, is eager to return to management and has not ruled out the possibility of going back to the club where he enjoyed five years of unprecedented success. Although nothing is certain at this stage, Leicester will, at the very least, take encouragement from the fact that O'Neill has not dismissed the idea out of hand. It is understood that much is likely to depend on the assurances he receives from Leicester's Thai owners, in terms of not only the time he would be given to get things right but also the level of financial backing that would be made available to him should they reach the Premier League. O'Neill is particularly concerned with the way that Sven-Goran Eriksson was treated. Although the Championship's biggest spenders failed to live up to their pre-season billing as promotion favourites, Leicester were only two points off the play-offs when Eriksson was told the club had run out of patience. O'Neill would want to be certain that there would be no snap judgments if he agreed to supplant the former England manager and failed to hit the ground running. There would also need to be guarantees that the funds would be there to give him a reasonable chance of reprising his earlier achievements at the club, when Leicester won two League Cups, secured four top-10 finishes in the Premier League and qualified for Europe, between 1995 and 2000. Without significant support from the club's owners, O'Neill is acutely aware that he risks returning and tarnishing his reputation at a club where he is revered. "It would be great to see him back in the game," said Neil Lennon, the Celtic manager who played under O'Neill at Leicester and at Celtic. "One of his old adages was that you never go back, but I think it is very, very tempting for him. There is a good foundation at Leicester and I think the Leicester fans would be more than thrilled to see him back because he had such success there." With O'Neill's position very much in the balance – he could well decide to hold out for a Premier League job – Leicester are also looking at other options. Roy Keane, who won promotion from the Championship with Sunderland, would be interested in the post, his former Manchester United team-mate, Paul Ince, is also keen to be considered and, much more surprisingly, Kevin Keegan has declared an interest in applying. Avram Grant, Alan Curbishley and Billy Davies could also come under consideration.
Happy Fox Posted 25 October 2011 Author Posted 25 October 2011 MON wants allot of assurances lets hope the owners oblige to them
Tuna Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 paul ince? come on i'd be a better bet as manager than paul 'sacked by notts county has had 5 clubs in 4 years' ince.
Ozwin Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 I'm swaying from either being really excited and optimistic to being really depressed and thinking anyone but MON will be a let down. If we've really sacked Sven and don't have MON lined up I'm going to be pissed.
