I take it now we've woken up to the fact that relegation is likely and not just a possibility he will be told that he's not fucking off to manage a different team in March? Are we a serious fucking football club or a part time joke? You know full well he'll be in charge of NI for the playoffs. Get over it You're probably right and it's fucking disgusting. We're a joke club.

Two poor performances and people want him out? #fickle
We have such a poor squad in that we are totally unbalanced - that means he has few options and therefore very easy for the opposition to predict and set up against
Let's hope he can move people around in the window and set up his way
I still think he is getting to survey the squad and identify the bomb squad

I wonder how some of our fickle fans would feel if they took on a new job. One that needed some turning around, when the first set of accounts came out they were fired
These things take time, effort and planning. We gave Jones time and it didn’t work, O’Neil needs the same chances

O'Neil will be manager the start of next season whatever happens. This thread is both pathetic and pointless.

I do think that whoever took over from Jones was on a hiding to nothing
The manager that this Board selected would need to be prepared to work under severe restrictions and accept that there were footballing decisions that would be taken by none footballing people
To appoint a manager with zero experience of a relegation battle in a league that he has never managed in before who has another job to do at the same time says all you need to know about the judgement of the incompetent shite hawks running this football club.

We need a manager experienced at getting crisis clubs out of a mess in this division. The Board need to find a way of moving this guy out quickly and bringing in a proper manager. Tool

[ It would take three home defeats to even move the dial but I can actually see that coming lose to Luton Reading and Wednesday the last row being quite likely and panic might re-ignite especially if we add one in at Boro You’re fishing again and foolishly I’m going to bite. Is this what you’re hoping for? You seem to enjoy our downfall. It’s pretty simple I’m praying. He wins the three home games but I’m not convinced by him at all but as I’ve said so many times any manger is a symptom not the disease

Michael O'Neil will be at the helm next season. His reputation is at stake. The team have been shocking for 4 year's this all down to Mark Hughes and Mr Scholes. It will take Michael O'Neil a least 12 months and 3 transfer windows to shift this tribe of freeloaders off our books. The stench of rotting horse shit that eminates from the changing room is overwhelming. I can not think of a single player that i would keep and try to build a team around. Vast amounts of money has been squandered on overrated, overpaid,over the hill underachieving fraudsters. Peter Coates has got to look at the man in charge of purchasing players, the fella that signs the cheques. Then he must decide when to shoot the useless bastard. As long as Scholes is in charge of operations we will continue to slip down the football pyramid. It is going to take a long long time to turn around this mega sized fuck up that is masquerading as Stoke City FC.

He has won almost as many games in his first four games as Jones did in his entire time here. He inherited a very brittle, almost non existent backbone of a squad. We simply have to somehow muddle through to January, picking up as many points as we can, then try and unearth a Messiah or 2 in the window..

The club simply have to find a get out clause to cancel O’Neill’s contract and appoint a proper manager with experience of saving clubs in our position.

It's not the manager anymore though - he has picked up a squad that has deteriorated in quality since the start of Hughes' last season, each subsequent incumbent (and grossly inept execs) compounding the problem with a bunch of poor & expensive signings in the main. This cannot be unpicked quickly - I think (hope) we have just enough to avoid relegation as there have been the odd glimmer of hope and I believe there are 3 worse than us in this piss-poor league. Another manager would have just the same challenge - we are looking at several seasons to sort this out - when relegated I predicted a decade in the wilderness and I've seen nothing to change this view....but hope I am wrong.

MON has quickly found out that simply trying to boost a player's ego isn't going to improve him or the team.
Some things you can do some things you cant with a football. No matter how much you train-you've either got it naturally or you haven't.

It’s the players that are totally shit, see JB, BMI, CCV, TI, etc etc, the lot of them are utter crap and stealing a living here.

I think he will be gone in early January after we lose in the cup. A predictably appalling appointment. A predictably appalling comment. Desperate appointment.

You seriously need to pack it in now march. You’re a grown adult for fucking hells sake, start acting like one. Possibly my favourite response to a post ever!

Remember this. We probably know more about his squad better than he does at the moment as he as only Just arrived. THIS IS HIS SECOND HOME GAME? But also remember that he knows more about football than any of us on here. At this point I can not imagine anybody more qualified to sought out this mess and quagmire that we are sinking into, aided by the utter ignorance of the type of rubbish prematurely posted on this ridiculous topic For Christ sake realise that this sought of rubbish Is not constructive and is as big a problem as we have on the pitch. I disagree. Most posters on here have more experience about what it takes to keep a struggling team in this division. O’Neill doesn’t have a single second of experience. I disagree with you. I think there will very few posters on here who have any experience of management, let alone managing a football team, or indeed a struggling team which is much harder than a successful team. The vast majority of players have no desire to be the boss, and even those that are vastly experienced players at a high level fail to be successful apart from a very few. It takes a special talent and personal qualities to be a successful football manager in a profession where very few are successful for any significant amount of time.
