Longcol Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Not to mention the success he had at Leicester and Celtic.... Oh wait. Success at Celtic is hardly difficult is it? Yes, he got Leicester to over achieve - but that's well over a dozen years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Loving Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Success at Celtic is hardly difficult is it? Yes, he got Leicester to over achieve - but that's well over a dozen years ago. Should we just disregard his achievements at Celtic, Leicester and Wycombe? I'd agree his record at Sunderland this season has been poor. But he did well when he first came in. Villa he had them treading water, but certainly not underachieving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And again - how hard is it to "achieve" in the two horse race that was the Scottish Premier. His stated ambition at Villa was to establish them in Europe. He was given plenty resources at one of the countries biggest clubs. He never did it or remotely looked like doing it. And yet half the press and half this board seemed to think he was the answer to Englands prayers or the next Man U manager. He was a decent manager - just not the sensation many cracked him up to be.

Guest Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I think this is the first time he has been sacked in his career. He may be suited to taking an international job somewhere- pretty sure some country will come in for him offering a stupid salary- if Eriksson can do it, surely O' Neil can.

Just look no further than John Barnes, for the answer to that one fella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd, a self confessed fascist in charge of the Black Cats. Oh well, at least they've got rid of Miliband Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
