RobinTuga Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Some sort of disagreement over transfers or something, surely? Absolutely crazy decision from the outside, guess the new owners want to make their mark already. Watch them give it to Jesse Marsch.

2015 Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 At least O'Neil leaves with his stock quite high. Arguably manager of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negan Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 I mean they aren’t going to stay up anyway but now hoping they finish bottom just below Luton. Not sure who they think they are in the premier league standings but 17th will always be a massive achievement for a club as small as theirs. There’s a reason they had to put him in charge to begin with…. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Wow - shocking decision. And his replacement has the most difficult job in football, replace a popular manager who achieved safety comfortably and as a minimum match that achievement. I bet the replacement has them bottom 3 and loses their job by February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Who'd want to be a football manager? Undoubtedly they've got their eye on someone else who they believe will do a better job. O'Neil should find another job relatively quickly based on the great job he did there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will find a decent job. His reputation was always high and much more so since the job he did last season. Nige is doing a good job and completely safe but if, hypothetically, our job was up for grabs, O’Neill would be right up there as a sensible choice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 I'm a broken record but will take some convincing that Pearson wouldn't be a more applicable choice than a host of bottom third or a few bottom third PL let along top third Championship managers.

True. Couple of significant differences though - Bournemouth aren't Southampton and, while we wait to see who they appoint, I bet it won't be the next Pochettino. The example you quote is the exception rather than the rule, after all. Edited June 19, 2023 by Merrick's Marvels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Slightly off topic but one of the oddest City related moments I’ve witnessed was seeing Gary O’Neil hobble around the London Underground on his own only a couple of hours after we lost 2-0 to Brentford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also saw this and spoke to him briefly, he was livid he was made to play against his wishes that day knowing he was injured. I said about it in here the following day and was told I was making it up! On topic, shocking decision by Bournemouth. Hopefully this bites them on the ass massively this coming season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
