Guest LLLLW Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 It's been a bad day. It's been a bad start to the season. Let's have another drink, cheer ourselves up and imagine how it could be...... Martin O'Neill is announced as manager on Monday 03 October followed by a full, noisy, passionate house home to Peterborough. Not seen for a long, long while. I suddenly feel like I can never miss a city game again. O'Neill does not suffer fools and states that he is starting a clearout whilst inspiring the few decent players we want to keep. I pay anything to watch O'Neill charge up and down the touchline bringing a passion, focus and intelligence that only our real fans can match. We make changes, finish the season mid table and look to take the league by storm next season. There is talk on here of accepting relegation when we have over 30 games left to go?!! Always believe in someting better than you expected.....
glynriley Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 What you smokin ?? Martin O'Neil by the sound of it !!

Anyway, there isn't a managerial vacancy at the moment.
GrahamC Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 What you smokin ?? Crack? Our last 4 managers: Tinnion, cheap appointment from within with no previous experience, didn't work. Johnson, poached from Yeovil, big success. Coppell, good track record but we totally failed to spot his complete lack of enthusiasm for a return to management. Millen, see Tinnion. See anything there that makes you feel we'll appoint O'Neill, Moyes or any of the other unrealistic suggestions on here (Warnock, Lee Clark, etc)?

REDOXO Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Martin O'Neil by the sound of it !! Now that was funny!! However Martin O'Neil here would be great
Guest LLLLW Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 I could see it before the 'village green' few scared off SL to actually strive to make us a 'bigger club'. Now, like many of us I just hope that there is some ambition left that matches mine. Why not O'Neill??
Slave to the rhythm Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Why not O'Neill?? Because there's not even a 1% chance that he would want to take over at AG.
The Casual Connoisseur Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 White Widow Nah WW is an indica and sativa mix, he'd have to be smoking something more sativa dominant like Dr Grinspoon to hallucinate thIs utter nonsense, it's definitely a cerebal high!!!!

If you don't have a dream, how you gonna make a dream come true !!!!!!!!
Rednready Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 It will depend on the bag man in his tax free haven. SL can have who he wants to help him with success in his new stadium............ is that still on ??? I suggested nearly a year ago it would cost 10 million to turn the club around. Pay off the dross and hire 3/4 real deal players. SL needs to sell his interest in BCFC to a more vigorous better run operational group, or invest /manage better than he has since the Wilson years. Why does it take so long for BCFC decision makers to make the right decisions. Answer : Very few business men have any idea on how to run a football club. Ex footballers have no idea how to run a financial business. When hiring we need to consider this and hire individuals who are experienced in both areas of activities. I would form a board of highly qualified individuals from both the financial and footballing management fields of endeavour. A monthly salary, no contract, but rewards based on profit and results Then I woke up !
Murraysrightplum Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 I remember when people on here said there is no way coppell would come to city. I also remember when people said there is no way David James would come to city. Dangle enough carrots and you can get pretty much anyone you want, look at man city. However we wont be getting o Neil. IMO
Nugget Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 I think O'Neill is certainly worth enquiring about....although been out of the game a little while. Not sure if he's a Coppell mark 2 though, doesn't have the most stable history either and could be a gamble. That said would be my first choice for sure.
Mr Mosquito Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Dangle enough carrots and you can get pretty much anyone you want, look at man city. Indeed, Manchester City have been in Manchester United's shadow for 30 odd years. Now, with all the money spent on world class players, they're a glamour club once more.
Ron Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 If Harry Redknapp left Spurs tomorrow we'd have as much chance of getting him as we do O'Neill.

Actually i believe that was the intention when the current re-schuffled board was put together; So i am assuming you woke up and realised exactly that rather than dreamt it.
Pewsham Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Martin O'Neill would be terrific, but the board would never match his required transfer budget or salary. The job description is pretty simple. Re motivate the players, get 'em playing to a system that everyone understands, concentrate at set pieces, have the gahoonies to sort out those who are a disruptive influence within the squad and get everyone singing off the same hymn sheet and pulling in the same direction at the same time. Encourage Maynard to move on in January, ship out any dross that isn't required and unleash what Joe Royle used to call "the dogs of war". A couple of astute signings (loan or otherwise), a serious look at the academy and better will follow better. I would love to see Glenn Hoddle in the hotseat but I don't think it's going to happen. It does require a manager with a clear vision good coaching staff though

Always believe in someting better than you expected..... Love it!! I would be delirious if City appointed Martin O'Neill. He surely has the best cv of all the out of work managers with track trecords in management in the English Leagues. In my opinion, the next few weeks will reveal the true ambitions of Steve Lansdown and his puppet board. Having got to the point of almost securing a showpiece new ground and a Championship play-off final, there is a palpable danger that his overall legacy may turn out to be little better than that of his predecessors. In fact, should we return to League 1 and potentially face the prospect of staying at AG indefinitely, the clubs finances would be horrifically bad and the ensuing 'fire sale' would potentially lead to even greater humiliation and struggle. It is of paramount importance that City appoint the right manager now, not another cheap 'in house' option and allow him to do his job comprehensively with support and negligible interference. After Stewart with Tinnion, and James with Coppell, Steve Lansdown should refrain from making 'Marquee'signings that plough through the club's wage budget and undermine morale and the incumbant manager. I am not overly optimistic about our prospects at this point in time and a proven,experienced unfettered manager is what this club really needs now. Martin O'Neill has these credentials and proved at Villa, that he won't be undermined by the board. Since he left they have been seriously underwhelming, and that in itself speaks volumes about the man's ability and character.
kevster3 Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Many years ago I believe both us and the gas tried to get Martin O'Neil when he was still a relàtively new manager are Wycombe and he politely turned us both down.There is absolutely no chance he would even consider us now.Shame but that is the reality
Brizzle Jordan Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Martin O'neill.. we've got just as much chance of winning our next 36 league games and finishing top.
