reddogkev Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Would this be the first time they've faced each other? I always find it extremely fascinating when Lee has to face a manager for the first time. Will Lee Johnson get the plaudits for a decent City performance, or will the old-timer have too many tricks up his sleeve? Going back through my memories, it seems such a long time ago that Martin did a fantastic job with Leicester, back in the old Filbert Street days, with the commanding Elliot at the back and was it, Steve Claridge up front for him? Amazing to think Martin's still managing at such a high level all these years later. Separate point - Anyone know if Roy Keane might also be about on the touchline? I've heard it rumoured, but can't see anything for certain. Macca and Holden better be ready for war if so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise that football managers were so poetic these days. Dear Martin O'Neil/ I strongly feel/ with a victory away/ we'll ruin your day.

I'm sure a fair few managers dabble with a line or two of poetry, perhaps in the changing rooms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royston Red Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 My contribution to this poetic thread: To Nottingham I did go, To watch the Bristol City shooters, There to ruin O'Neil's first show, Almost as good as lunch at Hooters.

Keane stopped drinking alcohol - when he was still playing - to help him with his anger problems. It worked 90% but he still has that ‘edge’ about him.

22A Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 What might have been. In 1992 Manager Lumsden was dismissed. Ossie Ardiles said he was interested in the job and Chairman Leslie Kew said he believed Ardiles was the ideal man for the job. Chris Nichol, a former Southampton manager then applied. Two of the directors decided not to vote for Ardiles stating that a big name did not guarantee success. Martin O’Neil and Russell Osman then applied. Due to his playing experience Osman was appointed caretaker manager. The following week Dennis Smith was appointed manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
