O'Neil In, Out and Shaking it all about

These rumours do feel like the Kilman rumours, a mid PL player suddenly being linked to top clubs and we're scratching our head wondering how.

I am much higher on Gaz than I was at start of season but he's still a manager who's had limited success in less than a season twice with two different clubs who are only similar in their stature (bottom half teams). It's not a huge sample size and teams like Liverpool, West Ham, AC Milan would be taking a punt on hype alone imo, or it's because he's a local?

Potter was seen as the next big British manager and he's currently on Chelsea-sponsored unemployment. It's never a certainty how these things track.

Wouldn't blame him if he did leave. Whilst he must've known the situation he was getting into after Lop, being dicked around in January like we were from Hobbs/Shi would make anyone want to update their CV.
 
I wonder how much time we've spent on here talking about things that were just totally made up by people on Twitter/X for engagement.
 
These days Twitter is just people some hyping a Portuguese player called "Nu-des" in their bio. Never heard of him.
 
Read it now..

An independent three-person commission has ruled that O’Neil will be banned for one match, and also fined £8,000, and the FA could consider an appeal against the decision
 
Kompany got a 2 game ban for similar earlier in the season, so don’t be surprised to see it extended.

I think GO admitting he was out of order has helped him out.
 
Coincidentally on the same day Webb goes on the TV to tell you why it was the correct decision
 
Gaz got his touchline ban in part for telling the officials "I hope you all get sacked".

It's no Souness telling a ref to "go boil your heid".
 
It was always gonna be a gamble and mid season it looked like it might just pay off.
Recent performances have, unfortunately, shown that he’s not very good really and perhaps Bournemouth knew what they were doing.
 
I was disappointed by the O'Neil appointment. He won me over, and for a few months I felt like he'd got the relationship between club and fans back. He's a decent bloke, I like the way he speaks, and I think he got us playing some football that was pretty good to watch going forward when we were really hitting our purple(ish) patch. We had games where we were quite exciting.

Now I'm at the point where if we sacked him I'd only be very slightly disappointed but not surprised or all that bothered really. I'd rather we sack him than alienate him so that he walks out because we are run by a bunch of utter clowns. If that happened twice within a year we'd be hard pushed to persuade anyone worth getting to do the job.
 
Being objective on the whole I’d have accepted comfortable a mid table season with an on the beach end back in August.
However the levels of performances since the 09/03 Fulham at home have been appalling bar a couple of outliers.
The real concern for me is the lack of ability to improve the defence if anything it’s getting worse.
Being a bit pragmatic and functional is ok when you’ve got the injury list we had but we were neither defensively strong or an attacking threat just a nothing side and have been since March.
Fact remains if GON has Bruno Saunders start to the next campaign he’ll be toast.
