Michael o’neil

I do not want this bloke anywhere near our club. This idiot plays dull dreary football on an epic scale also relying on set pieces. Why bother changing Pulis if we go for O’Neil? As someone said; a poor mans TP.

Not sure how you can call him an idiot he is clearly a good manager as he identified how to get results against teams that were ranked much higher than Northern Ireland. To many of our fans think we should be we should be playing champagne football and be in the top 10, they need to get a reality check in our current position winning games is all that counts from now until the end of the season.

That's the kind of thinking that kept Pulis here for a year too long. Long live football - not that sh*te we've had to endure that's turned fanatical fans into Saturday afternoon shoppers!

Sorry of course you are right, i wonder what Ardiles, Mowbray, Pepe Mel and Di Matteo are doing now after all they played great football and went on to be top managers with big clubs after they left us.

No thanks as N Ireland are the equivalent to an average championship side at best. Coleman did a great job for Wales but achieved nothing managing club sides. Southgate did not a lot managing club sides and he thinks Jake Livermore is fantastic - there you go!

Whilst Pulis had to go in the end - I still say - be careful what you wish for!!!!! Not even Pepe could turn Rondon into a goal scoring sensation or add creativity or pace which is still lacking.

Can I start the thread for all our fickle supporters - Sack the Next Manager!

I don't recall saying in my post anything about champagne football. Having a couple of shots per game, conceeding 60% possession etc and putting 9 defensive players out against teams such as Huddersfield is why we have dropped several thousand season ticket holders since TP came. I don't think its being unrealistic to hope for something more adventurous? I supported TP up until the Huddersfield match but after that could not see where the points were coming from.

O'Neil is not the answer. Dull dreary football thats defensive and reliant on set-pieces. I thought we wanted to get away from all that? We should have kept TP if we go for O'Neil as TP is a superior manager and O'Neil as never set foot in the Premier League and hopefully won't.

I know many on here will not agree with you 39 but I have to say that I do.

If we have sacked TP to get Michael O’Neill or Allerdyce for that matter, what is the point? TP for all his faults is a far better Manager than both of them in my opinion and I would rather have stuck with him if that is all we get as a replacement.

Hopefully though we will get someone better but what really worries me about the club these days is the recruitment side and I wouldn’t trust them to come up with a great result but I can but live in hope.
