And our current manager didn't do just that last season?

O'Neill is consistent. But never more than mid-table in the EPL. Can you honestly say we've ever feared a side he managed?

He does seem to get the best from players but there has to be something that stops him getting the big jobs. I just don't think he would do any better than what we are now.

his teams can also score, and at villa it was not all long ball, he used 3 forwards with pace, his teams also play to the last second, getting results at the death.

and the players we have are made for him,, Dawning will make good crosses like he should, Carroll will get to the end of them like he should, Suarez will score like he should, Hendo will play in the center like he should and even Adam will pass long balls and hit corners like he should.

O'neill does have a good track record

I'm not even suggesting Harry Redknapp for us, but would you consider Harry a "great manager"? Similarly to O'Neill he always did well at smaller clubs. He also won the FA Cup with Portsmouth, O'Neill won 2 League Cups with Leicester, aswell as all his trophies in Scotland.

You don't know if a manager is going to make the grade at a big club unless you give him a chance. Redknapp rose to it and transformed Spurs from a mid table club (who were around the relegation zone when he took over) to a team fighting for the title and playing CL football. On the other side of the coin there's Roy Hodgson who failed to make the step up to the pressures of a big club.

its not just the results with O'Neill, his teams also play with agression and commitment for 90 minutes.

and look what this formation(costing 0$) will be like under him

Liverpool were a top 7 side prior to Hodgson. Gerrard made 6 appearances post-January 2010. Torres fled. We had zero wide players, and no fit senior fullbacks. That's not a side that's "generally top 4". New managers inspire. It's the second season that counts, and I'd rather not have more false hope from a new manager who has done precious little in England (in the grand scheme of things).
