Can we now all agree that the answer to the question posed in the o/p is absolutely not. We are not pretty but bloody hell did anyone see this upturn in results coming? Here here! As I said on the match thread, compare tonight with the home game against WBA. That was a real low point. He's instilled a bit of fight and given Stoke City it's pride back. Maybe you can polish a turd after all....

Appears to be extremely calm & collected on the touch line & also in interviews. However, he’s obviously banged a few heads together in that changing room & weeded out the bad apples. Got us organised & playing as a team. So far so good.

Love this manager, especially in comparison to the last 3 and inifitely more than the last one.
Credit to the board for taking a chance on someone with no English League experience. They've made some fucking awful decisions recently but this isn't one of them.
We'll be up there next year, of that I have no doubt.

What O’Neill has achieved with this group so far is simply unbelievable. Collection of individuals turned into a true team in a very short space of time.

From the absolute shambles we were when he took over from mad Nath to the team that we have now - he's done a terrific job.
He's just a quiet no nonsense manager who just gets on with the job. He's obviously instilled a growing confidence and belief into the team and we're beginning to see the long awaited and much needed improvement in results. It's not pretty but it is effective.

I know it is a bit if a stretch, but over a season that is getting close to promotion-like form! Plus all of the teams around us are at the bottom of the form table!

It’s not rocket science is it this league and MON is figuring it out pretty quickly, if only we’d had him a year ago we may well be in a play off place.

The manager is slowly but surely dragging out performances from all our players. He's fucked off the ones who didn't want to be here out of the side and out of the door as soon as he could and it is paying off.
He's doing a great job. Long may it continue.

He's quality.To take this group of shite and get them picking up points when we really did look dead and buried and to get it looking like a team takes something special. Its no coincidence he has took that group of northern Ireland lads to where he has and I think we could have something really special in MON.

Six game form here puts us ninth (and, by the way, West Brom second bottom): Six Game FormReally excited to see what MON can do with a clean start in the Championship next season.

Don't be fooled by this upturn in results! He's just like the rest, basically selfish. He's getting us to safety so he can go with NI in the playoffs!
He'll probably get us promoted so he can get himself a better job!
Terrible appointment!

No, he isn’t.
And if you think he is a poor appointment then you are a monumental dog botherer.
