Michael O'Neill will not get a better job than Stoke City. Celtic won't touch him (apart from the couple of European ties they play a season, they wouldn't be underdogs- and even then they'd be expected to beat FC Tractor Factory of Estonia), and neither would a Championship club with any modicum of ambition.
The best he'd do is one of the bigger non-Old Firm Scottish sides (Hibs, Aberdeen) or a glorious return to Windsor Park

If there’s significant progress this season under MON I wonder how many apologists there will be on this thread?

Folk forget we are not a yoyo club. We're more a yo club. We go down but never come straight back up.
Whoever comes in will have a hard task to get us near the top 6 , however they will have the luxury of not having to get rid of the high earning wasters we had on the books before MON despatched them out of the club.

This season is surely his last shot at success.
I'm probably a lot more patient than most posters on here and i think he's done a good job in restructuring the staff, team and recruitment whilst keeping an eye on finances. However, last season was disappointing, certainly towards the end. We have to be challenging for the play-offs all season, whilst also looking like a good team, for him to survive as manager any longer.
Preseason hasn't exactly filled me with hope for the coming season, but a few good signings (Gayle, Davis, new GK, new DM) could make a massive difference.

he is an improvement on what we already have ...more composed and more likely to hit the back of the net
but we all know we need a target man to lead the line and allow us to ' go long ' against opponents playing a high press and doing it well
in modern 21/ 22 football teams will often try to press high , and will go out of their way to do that if they know for a fact we don't have the option of going long and are going to try and play our way out from the back
we need a ric / beattie / hell even cameron jerome to allow us to go long against teams playing the high press
if we dont sign that player , every team in the chsampionship knows our weakness and we all know whats going to happen

Playing really exciting high scoring football and finishing in the top 10.

Watched the game today expecting to see a bit more fight, fitness and an actual plan/idea however you want the phrase it, In reality it was a carbon copy of last season minus the likes of Allen, Smith, Fletcher, Chester. He really needs to go now, no if’s or buts but now for gods sake, the blokes an absolute bell end of a manager and he’ll be hounded out within weeks not months, why wasn’t he sacked at the end of last season heaven knows but once he’s gone the next target has to be junior he’s been at helm and steered us in this direction. Because the board trusts their own judgment more than yours...?

That said, concerns about the team and manager are valid. Not sure you can call it bollocks, I'd say it's 100% true in virtually every case. Given the choice between their team having success and having their opinions proved correct on a message board, I think almost everyone would be only too glad to be wrong. Maybe an odd 1% are that obsessed with being right that they'd choose that.
