The burning question is: Are Cam and Thos likely to sign for us? Sounds good to me, Jerome and that Icelandic chap would be ideal.

He ain't managed in England before,then again a few of us wanted a foreign manager who most likely had never managed in England before. Well, seems he's starting at about 6 wins less then the last manager who has managed in England...and 9 less wins than the one who managed before. Don't really think someone having managed in England or not is really the issue with this club.

Not a great deal.
I'm not going to let that stop me shooting my fat mouth off about him though, like some sort of massive know-nothing internet cunt.

A Catholic from Portadown? That's like a Jew in Iraq (or worse, the Labour Party)
He will have been able to look after himself from a very early age, that's for sure. He's also whip-smart.
You would think that after seven years managing the same International job that things would be coming to a natural end for manager and players/fans alike, but the players and fans are really upset about his departure. That has to be a good sign for us.

Northern Ireland is his level. Not managed before in the UK, so its risky as hell. Geography isn’t your strong point, is it mate?

You've got to start somewhere. Otherwise, how does anybody get a chance in life? He's got my support and I really hope he succeeds because we fucking need something going for us at this club. My fears are that one player, one manager, whatever it may be doesn't make a team and there's bigger problems at our club that needs to be addressed. A big clear out, but lets hope this man can influence some kind of change.

Maybe that is what we need to sort our players out? I can't understand that. He's talking Italian.

If he has managed N Ireland for several years you would assume that he has watched and knows a lot about English football, as the vast majority of his internationals probably play in the EFL.
You would also hope that he has many contacts in the profession gathered in his travels and visits to watch players.

O’Neill has no sexual bias. He knows Patrick Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitzpatrick.

I’m more interested in HOW he managed, rather than WHO he managed. I’m slightly optimistic about this one.

He’s managed Northern Ireland fucking Brechin city n fucking shamrock rovers whoopy do. Only fuckin stoke could go for this. I mean at one point Alex Ferguson had only managed Scotland and wank Scottish teams so that reasoning doesn’t really work. Yes that Aberdeen team that beat Real Madrid in the final of the European Cup Winners cup ( and Bayern Munich on the way to the final) was soooooooooo wank

Oneil managed Shamrock Rovers 8 years ago FFS. So he hasn't managed a team on a day to day basis for that time. Our squad at the moment needs someone who has got a proven track record of day to day man management which unfortunately Oneil hasn't. I am sorry but fear the worse as I did with Jones.

But you could also look at it as a positive that he did so well he was kept on as the NIR manager for 9 years.
