KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Martin O Neill

is a very good manager .... fact.

Every time his name has been mentioned on here as a potential manager for us it's rubbished.

How in God's name did it come to pass that Henderson is a regular starter at the club ...... smicer, traore, baros, poulsen, kvarme ... whoever but 16m for this birdbrain ....

If Comolli is responsible for these signings he should go .... if kenny is he should go .... and if they both are well.. we're a fcuking embarassment forever living off the past with some deluded sense that we by right should always be up there .... this club has been a joke for over 20 years now.

alot of pple in here dont rate him but am not one of them. not to sure about his transfers but he knows how to get the best out of players

he is ambitious, if we call he will come. Sunderland is just a placeholder

Another manager who did well in a minor league, but has done nothing in a major league. Didn't we learn from Hodgson?

I'm sure O'Neill will manage to not have us finish lower than 7th. I'm just as sure he doesn't have what it takes to have us finish higher than 5th.

Oh god, what wouldn't I give for a 5:th spot atm?!

he has a proven track record of team consistency, his teams can punch above their wight, but more crucially, win the games vs weaker teams like they are supposed to.
his Villa team went on frequent unbeaten and winning runs. and even if his Scottish league record doesn't impress you, his Celtic team preformed great vs big European clubs, he even almost won the Europa cup only narrowly losing to Murinho's Porto who won the CL the year after.

"consistency" is the most important thing for Liverpool now more than ever, we don't need local or European cup runs, we want the league.

and even if you don't like him, their is Capello, who has a bigger record. winning league titles with 4 different teams: RM(2 periods), Juventus, Milan, Roma.

for me Capello is the #1 choice

O Neil has done really well with Sunderland but he is a man who seems to have a honeymoon period with teams and then it all goes pear shaped.

Yeah yeah yeah. If we want to punch above our weight but be boring to watch that's what you get with MON. Hodgson is punching above his weight right now and WBA are still boring to watch.

So his team beat ours and we need him as manager? It's rediculous. You say he's a good manager so why haven't any big teams been in for him? Surely he would have been snapped up when he left Villa.

He's a good manager for the teams he manages but not for us. Same for Hodgson and we know how that turned out.

Not saying I want Kenny to stay. I don't think it's worked out too well and we should probably look elsewhere. But O'Neill has only ever done well at Celtic and its like Sunday league up there.

We had all this crap when Rafa went and he wasn't the answer then and isn't now.
