Raw Dykes Posted 26 May 2013 Posted 26 May 2013 If MON came back then without doubt season ticket sales would double in minutes. No smoke without fire! So it's not possible for someone to make something up to fill the pages of a newspaper then?
Wymsey Posted 26 May 2013 Posted 26 May 2013 Isn't O'Neil's wife ill with cancer or something? I suspect if she is, then I'd doubt O'Neill would return (with regards to being in a job which requires high expectations, as well as looking after his Wife - both of these would require extreme commitment).
Leicesterpool Posted 26 May 2013 Posted 26 May 2013 So it's not possible for someone to make something up to fill the pages of a newspaper then? Maybe so, but it seemed quite random and out of the blue from the daily mail. Maybe it's smoke screen for MON to join Stoke i don't know?
Harry - LCFC Posted 26 May 2013 Posted 26 May 2013 That phrase "no smoke without fire" is such shite. Honestly, utter rubbish. I can tell you now that we're in talks with Mancini to replace Pearson. There's your smoke. Is there any fire? No there is not because I made it up - just as the media might be inclined to do if they want a story.

I think the no smoke comment is made because the papers are linking us with several new Managers. If there was nothing going on then it's unlikely these rumours would be so widespread and regular in frequency.

We still don't know that the owners are even considering sacking Pearson. I have to say though, there are so many cases where that phrase just isn't applicable.
ScoutMan Posted 26 May 2013 Posted 26 May 2013 Martin needs his trusty assistant John Robertson with him. That's why he failed at Sunderland and he shouldn't come back here without the O'Neill, Robertson and Walford partnership together. That's if he was to return.
Leicesterpool Posted 26 May 2013 Posted 26 May 2013 As it ever been suggested that maybe MON would take a director of football role with the club and bring in Neil Lennon as manager?
Carl the Llama Posted 26 May 2013 Posted 26 May 2013 We don't have the money for transfers, how does anyone suppose then that we would have the money to bring MON in?
Guest Posted 26 May 2013 Posted 26 May 2013 Cannot you read pal I said Almost Full Crowds. Until we lose 2 games.

hornyhollthefox123 Posted 26 May 2013 Posted 26 May 2013 So, from what you are saying the owners are actively looking to replace Pearson, but wont sack him until they have the replacement lined up? If they want O'Neill I'd doubt he will take a job under those circumstances on principle. I genuinely don't have a clue what the owners want at the moment. I just know a lot of the players have had enough of NP and that they did speak to Lennon. But he must be doing something right if he's still here for now, because Kasper's exacts words were that he had a clause in his contract about us having to finish in the top two. I don't know what would be put to MON if he does speak to the owners, but i just know he would definitely be open to discussing the idea of coming back.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 26 May 2013 Posted 26 May 2013 I did yes. But as of yet i know we definitely haven't spoke to him. Ok wise guy, just tell us all how you know. The truth is, you are just guessing. 1

I am not saying that you don't have inside sources but do really think that if a manager had a clause like that they would tell the players?! No. And if that was true then why didn't they sack him as soon as the top 2 was out of the question and bring in a new manager to give them a few games to adjust to the club?
hornyhollthefox123 Posted 26 May 2013 Posted 26 May 2013 Ok wise guy, just tell us all how you know. The truth is, you are just guessing. 1 I know a member of his family, so yes i clearly am just guessing.

hornyhollthefox123 Posted 26 May 2013 Posted 26 May 2013 Are you sleeping with 's daughter?? Unfortunately not nope I must be the only one..
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 26 May 2013 Posted 26 May 2013 Come home Martin Like the God would read Foxes Talk
FoxLAD Posted 27 May 2013 Posted 27 May 2013 As much as I would love MON back there is no need. In his 3 full seasons in charge he's lead to 1 promotion and 2 playoff's. It's only time before he's gets us promoted IMO
Sooper Steve's shin Posted 27 May 2013 Posted 27 May 2013 Cutting costs and Martin O'Neill don't go together Is this a joke? He never had money to spend at Leicester - probably the reason he went. We were in Filbert Street with 20k crowds and he brought in the likes of Izzet, Guppy, Taggart, Lennon, Savage, Claridge, Marshall, Flowers, Walker, Collymore etc for peanuts. Darren Eadie for £3m was about as far as he pushed the boat out. At Villa he may have got a reputation for spending, but he had the money and still went for young talent that could be sold on for a profit - Young, Milner are a couple of examples, Fabian Delph could have been similar but didn't work out for whatever reason. There were some turkeys, of course, but nobody's immune to that and the overriding impression of his time at Leicester was doing things on a relative shoestring.

Dont get me wrong, if O'Neill came back i'd be happy but if anyone thinks he can operate with no money, you're living in a dreamworld.
dayday Posted 27 May 2013 Posted 27 May 2013 £3m Eadie £2m Sinclair £2m Gunnlaugson £1.6m Elliott £1.5m Fenton £1.2m Claridge £1m Marshall £1m Impey £1m Flowers Bear in mind that was 15 years ago and its not too dis-similar to the amounts we spend now and we're referred to as 'big spending'.

Them signings were made over a course of time not one season,cannot really call him big spending.

Weren't all those signings except Claridge made when we were in the Premiership over a 3 or 4 year period ? hardly big spending is it really ? The signings made to get us out of the 2nd tier were Lennon ,Izzett, and Claridge so just over 2 million unless I forgot anyone.

Inset was a loan too so we didn't sign him until the summer.
