I can no longer see SW in a real way, he has become confused in my mind as a Swan /Duck mix of Mike Oliver ( the ref) and mr Bean. A kind of hapless egotist that on the surface looks a smooth operator ( Oliver) but below the surface , can't sort his feet out to paddle effectively ( Mr Bean . ) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whether that's sooner or later, I don't know. Two words: Ted Lasso. I’d take him here in a heartbeat 😊 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What model? I thought he left because McNally offered him a 1 year deal and he was a bit put out by that, wanted 2 years. He left long before Webber turned up.

He left long before Webber turned up. Yeah, he wasn't at the club when he criticised it... someone on here shared a vid, unless my memory is a bit hazy. I want to say it was in coverage of a game, not necessarily ours. There are a couple of pieces I can find in the press, not as harsh as I remembered - perhaps it was on talksport?https://www.pinkun.com/news/22705734.oneil-worried-citys-premier-league-approach-naive---reveals-regrets-leaving/ He did call Farke's approach in the 2019-20 season potentially "naive" though. I know we have moved on from that, but interesting he could see that even then, despite people on here perhaps looking back at it differently. Having looked about, his views seem to be mixed. He thinks Alex Neil is one of the best, if not the best manager he has played under. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
