Spoke well, as he always does. Are we to expect further signings for cash from hearing that?.

Concerning on many levels , might be because he’d not been well but
No mention of goals ,ambitions , etc very downbeat tempo , just all feels very flat , ground down by the situation and the environment

Another interview and another time where we haven't got the foggiest about what Tyrese has actually done to his knee.
Has anyone checked it is still attached?

I hope people “listen” to what’s being said and understand the current situation which he is trying to manage successfully Done listening to the bloke in all honesty, why he’s still at the club baffles me after the absolute shit show he put out last season. He’s now got a little money to spend but would I trust him not a chance given what he deems acceptable, still absolutely gob smacked on how he set up last season, bottles every match with little if any intention to put pressure on the opposition, in a nut shell he hasn’t got a clue. It’ll be interesting to clarify Campbell’s progress as if he’s no where near returning expect the dull turgid crap again.

I get where your coming from an I agree the shit show towards the 2nd half of the season was bad.. no matter what way u look at it or excuse it.. it was painful but the board ain’t going too sack him anytime soon so best of getting behind the team an see what happens.. if it’s the same shite an we get beat at home afew times at the start it’s ain’t going too go well is it.. let time take its course.. I can’t see much changing.. but even if it is the same.. can’t see mon getting sacked until the end of the season.. top 6 is the only way he will keep his job

I can’t see much changing.. but even if it is the same.. can’t see mon getting sacked until the end of the season.. top 6 is the only way he will keep his job Doubt it. The club have bought into a clear out and rebuild strategy and the clear out won't end until next summer. A top half finish will be more than enough for MoN to keep his job - other than from some fans he won't be under any pressure to achieve promotion until the 2022/23 season at the earliest by which time it will be his squad and he'll be operating without the baggage he inherited. A big problem with the squad we have is it's a rag bag of players cobbled together by five managers with very different ideas as to how the team should play. The next 2 summers give the club the opportunity to finally ditch that legacy - it's the perfect opportunity to give a manager carte blanche to build the squad they want pretty much from scratch and MoN was given that job when he saved us from relegation. The second half of last season was poor but if the club were genuinely concerned about MoN's ability to complete the rebuild he would have gone already. I'm sure there will be fans baying for O'Neil's blood this season if we aren't in and around the top six for the entire season but unless we turn into relegation candidates I don't think MoN's position as manager will be under threat this season.

Agree on the principle but in reality there is nothing to suggest we won’t be in the bottom six or eight and then its going to get very hot for the liens do scholes and we all know what happens when that happens or chant of Scholes And Cartwright did for Rowett at Shrewsbury “daft sod or not “ and it could get a lot hotter than that with 18 months frustration bottled up

So you are not happy with him signing a current England U21 centre back for £1.5 million to replace an Irish U21 centre back we sold for £12 mil plus add ons which could take it to £15 million? Each to his own I suppose but that sort of deal would appear to be as good as we could hope for if we are to mitigate our FFP problems.

You're assuming we are on a long term downward spiral and if we look like relegation candidates you're probably right. I err on the side of optimism and I think we'll end up top half next season which in the context of what we're doing that's not a threat to MoN's position. Whether all fans see it that way is a different matter entirely. Setting aside your natural pessimism what do you think would be a decent outcome next season?

Agreed Lakeland, if the Wilmott signing is a shape of what's to come this summer, I for one will be well happy👍👍.

Am all up for mon doing well an I hope he does.. can’t be doing with another manager.. different players different ideas an the rest of it.. end of the day it’s all prolonging our stay in the championship till god knows when but the thing is just cause mon has sold a player an balanced the books an will be getting afew players or his own doesn’t exactly mean anything unless his gone away over the holiday an decided too change his way of doing things.. different players don’t change tactics.. if mons has the same tactics as last season but with 2/3 or 4 different players nothing is going too change really is it.. I think we will know after 10 games how’s the seasons going too pan out.. an I hope mon starts well for his own sake an shuts people like me up

To be honest I’d take anything between 55 and 60 points if you offered it now so the deciding factor might be a decent start to take the pressure off , but given everything I see anyhthjng above 55 points would be decent unless we produce some magic in the window but I see nothing to sugges5 we will and fear history suggests we might make it worse and the margin for error is small in 55 points .

To be fair, the questions probably aren't put in the best way as to get the most informative answers. The club's interviewers are not exactly cutting edge are they? Of course he may simply be employed on the management side to make the Irish players feel at home!

He seems a sounding board for the manager, a mate to chat football with - I just hope he's not getting paid too much to do that.

Interesting that it's Eddy Jones (along with Adam Porter) that MON singles out from the young players
Don't think it's the first time he's really praised him

Strange to have people looking at sculptures in the background - made it a bit more interesting than listening to him drone on i suppose. Impressive stubble was my takeaway from the interview. Looked like you could grate cheese on his chin.
