Just hope we can get this over the line tomorrow or Monday morning and they get the chance to meet the squad before the game.Doubt they will take over until after the game but at least the players will know who they will be playing for.

For me I worry about the footballer, the players he is going to let go (our better players statistically this season) and the predictable formations he's going to play. I hope I'm wrong but it doesn't get me excited one bit. I don't really worry about millionaire players - they will be ok. I bet they never worry about us lot, the fans. Predictable formations or not, winning (or not losing) is what counts. How many times have we heard people on here griping away about "loss of identity", "loss of spine in the team"? Well I was fine with LMH's fancy football, but it didn't work. So back to basics it is. I think you're missing my point a little: where would we be without Shaq this season?

Christ, I was so enthused about QSF this morning.
And now this.
Think I might have an early night - this has knocked the stuffing out of me!

This is just signing us up for much of the same really
We needed drastic change, not just a slight shift
I think he's gonna spend a lot of money and still send us down, I hope this post comes back to bite me on the arse

Moyes, Hodgson, Allardyce, we don't want any of them. They are whats wrong with Football. Same people making a living out of a couple of seasons in a job before it all goes wrong. Then they move on to the next desperate club. QSF would have been a long term plan. O'Neill just sounds like a stop gap.

cannot see why we have not been in contact with Thomas tutchel got be worth a phone call, better than any managers we have been looking at Because he's out of our league that's why. His names been mentioned for the Arsenal and Bayern job and also now Chelsea.

Does anyone know if Martin or Mental Mickey throw water bottles to go with the shouting and fist pumping? The sign of a true genius is when they run around the thrown bottle.

Why is every body down on Roy Keane ? He is a well known hard man who speaks his mind . Exactly what is needed. Premier League management is a bit more complex than just shouting at people. Best tell that to klopp, Conte, and probably 90% of managers in the league. Bloody short sighted views on here.

He absolutely didn't do that at Leicester or Villa. Signed players for big fees and astronomical wages though. And got three top six finishes for his money. At Villa Who were lame before that and lame turning to absolute shit after.

O’Neil would be an underwhelming appointment to say the least.

He spunks up the wall a shed load of money on crap footballers and we revert to hoofing it. I just think he's a bit of a dinosaur but he deserves backing if he comes. He absolutely didn't do that at Leicester or Villa. My memory of O'Neill at Leicester, Villa and Sunderland is that all 3 clubs collapsed soon after he left. Did he cause those collapses or did he hold together clubs that were already falling apart?

Premier League management is a bit more complex than just shouting at people. Indeed But he won't be the manager,he will be one of the coaches. Having one guy in a managerial set up who plays bad cop is no bad thing. O'Neill is no idiot, he's astute enough to not rely on just shouting and pointing This isn't Alan Ball we are appointing this is a manager who wins trophies,who has in the main been hugely successful. What do people want? QSF despite a fantastic offer tilurned us down Do people really want Nigel Pearson or MacLaren? I don't get it. I think what we want is what we don’t have a hope of getting, which is a smart hierarchy and structure capable of making a progressive, modern appointment and who had a plan for this from the outset, rather than the usual parade of dinosaurs. As things stand, he’s one of the best options left, which is pretty depressing.

Just hope we havent made a ridiculously short contract offer. If we have and he knocks us back then we really deserve everything we get.

We went all in for the Spaniard and he didn't want to come. We can fanny around looking for someone else or go with a less inspiring but hopefully safer option. The worst thing we could do is drift for another week.

Martin O’Neill the Louis Fucking Walsh of football management - we are well and truly fucked. If he brings that divisive asshole of a man with him then we are screwed - he’d probably cripple Shaq in training for going past him. Balls deep for Tuchel for me - given what we were allegedly offering Kinky Santa Why cause he's foreign? Get a bloody grip man. Keane will cripple Shaq? Grow up. Grow up? Really? Roy Keane is a psychopath who has deliberately injured players throughout his career. A complete nut job who can’t control his temper and might well lose his head in a training session just to get his point and hard man attitude across. The bloke is absolute scum, walked out on his own damn country. Not a man to fight for a cause except that of his own damn ego.

My main reservation with O'Neil is would he be able to attract the quality of players we need?
I am almost certain he'd keep us up..but we need to attract players whether it be now or in the summer

I think they will come on a 3 year deal. MON already turned down Everton because of the length of the contract.

I have to say I really don’t get all the negativity around this pair🤔 Likewise I don't really see why some seem absolutely ecstatic at the prospect of them joining us. They may well be a success here and do a cracking job; there's no real way of forecasting the impact (or none) that they might make on our squad. I think the negativity generally comes from the fact that top-flight football has moved on since the last time MON had any modicum of success. His time at Sunderland was one of pisspoor transfers, low league position, and terrible football to boot. Whilst doing a decent job with Ireland (and nothing more), a good number of their fans seem absolutely bored senseless by grinding out 90 minutes of turgid stuff, culminating in their one chance to qualify for a their first world cup since 2002 to then absolutely bottle it and get thrashed 5-1 by Denmark at home. Keane's reputation as an absolute odious tosser precedes him too, and seems to have caused schisms in whichever dressing room he's managed in. If they are appointed then c'est la vie, of course they need to be backed and we have to move forward together and hope they can get the results we need to stay in the league. It feels like Coates has totally reverted to type though, and if it all goes tits up, I would expect the fans to turn on them pretty quickly tbh. At least with someone like QSF you could feel like there was some sort of long-term plan; a project that means some hope for the future even if we went down. With this pair? Not so much imo.

If this is what it is then fine. I'll get behind the bloke and hope he can drag us out of the shit.
It doesn't change the fact the the club is run by amateurs, and incompetent cheap amateurs at that. Bumbling twats.
