Superflash 0 Posted August 9, 2010 [quote user="Unhinged Canary"]As much as I like Lambert, I would take that trade in a second![/quote]So MON can throw his toys out of the pram here, quit us too, and leave us in the lurch?Ok, maybe that''s a bit extreme. Surprising, but then it sounds as though they just weren''t giving him the backing he needed at all. I think he''ll take a well deserved break and eventually take charge of a another big club, for he clearly has the potential to do well with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I''m being very naive here, but I take MON to be a very genuine bloke. I don''t think he''d do something like that without good reason. I don''t think he left us without just cause. I think all this Milner business seems to have been the ''proverbial straw'' as it were. I don''t think he''d do something like just to have a ''hissy fit''.

Salford 0 Posted August 9, 2010 I was searching for another Prem club that O''Neill might have had lined up but there doesn''t appear to be one. It just seems strange the timing of the decision seen as though he probably could have walked into the Liverpool job a couple of months ago. Maybe it was fairly spontaneous and he just wants a break. The only potential sackings I can see if things don''t run smoothly are at Man City, West Ham, any more? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can''t believe it was down to just one signing. As I said, I''m probably being very naive about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thecanaryfan 0 Posted August 9, 2010 [quote user="CallsignViper"]You honestly think Lambert is a better manager than O''Neill thecanaryfan?[/quote]Depends really. I personally wouldnt swap him. He achieved things for us I wouldnt have dreamt of last season. Ive spoken with quite a few Man Utd and Arsenal fans of late. They all have Lambert on their radars. I would rather stick by Lambert and at least give him a chance in this division. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted August 9, 2010 He should have a point to prove. And he could bring in Windass as coach!What say we seek to swap him for Lambert since he''s supposed to be under consideration for the Villa job?[;)]OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I take it your post was in jest?[/quote]Martin O''Neill is nearly as good a word-smith as he is a football manager.The man seems to have absolutely no sense of loyalty: Norwich, Leicester, Villa. Normally managers are sacked. He resigns. My deduction is that he has his eye on something else Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
