O'Neil aka GONe

I don't have the visceral personal hatred for him, he passed the buck a bit towards the end but every manager will do that when the team is in a tailspin. He isn't a massive cunt like Hoddle, Lage or Saunders absolutely were and there was at least a very brief stage where he looked alright. Wasn't a particularly brilliant job to take either, one he wouldn't have got in any normal situation but then we don't run ourselves like a normal club.

I think if you give him a Bristol City/Preston job where the brief is to make the top six of the Championship if you can but otherwise don't get drawn into crap at the wrong end, he might grow from there and become alright. He's just nowhere near what we need.

I think that’s extremely generous. Wherever he ends up his tactical naivety and apparent inability to organise a team to play in a structured way will be an issue. To manage one win in the last 26 games against an established PL team is beyond belief given our squad. The focus has inevitably been on our woeful defence but take Cunha out and our attacking play is not much better. I think it’s highly unlikely he’ll ever get close to managing in the PL again.

I dunno, I just don't think he's a cunt. Lage was a cunt.

The longer he was here the more unlikeable he became. I guess I took a dislike to him when he went on Sky and proclaimed what a genius he was. Who could have predicted that once teams had encountered him once they’d work him out and suddenly he was back to being an over-promoted chancer who got lucky for about three months out of the 17 he was here.
