O'Neil aka GONe

Sticking to my guns!? It was a conversation starter, not an opinion.

Look at my other posts in that thread!

Fair enough but playing devils advocate wasn't really necessary...

The indecisiveness in pulling the plug on GON may well prove terminal for our survival hopes.

I wouldn't normally waste my time with Judah and Liam, but youtube kept playing. Even they sounded disgusted. Once proper players like Lemina down tools, you know it's over. HOPEFULLY.

Yep - Liam looks genuinely livid and both very critical of O'Neill for shoehorning Lemina in two games in a row.
 
As if EP is even the most contrarian poster here.

You’ll get there, bud. 😉
 
… because he said you were playing the Devil’s Advocate?

Tough crowd.

Why? After we'd gone on that mini run the conversation about whether we should still sack him was a worthwhile one.

I don't think it was. I've no idea how we got 5 points from Palace, Brighton and Southampton.

A Palace winner ruled out when on another day it stands...

Brighton capitulation when they were odds on to score a third when Doyle improbably intercepted...

An awful performance and fortunate disallowed goal v Saints even though we won!

I felt we needed at least 4 points from those games for him to keep his job. Even though he got 5 I was left in no doubt he should be sacked after Southampton.

What followed was a decent performance v Fulham tbf. Although Raúls missed sitter and a bunch of shots off the woodwork may have seen a different result!

We can't rely solely on being lucky. GON's luck ran out in injury time v Coventry in the cup, it briefly returned for 4 games, his time must be up now (should have gone at the last international break).

Yes, but I wasn't responsible for it 😅

The Brentford game was the moment for me.

Honestly, I'd have sacked him in May.

Somewhere there's evidence of me saying "it's clear he won't be sacked, I'll get behind him and hope it works out. It doesn't benefit me if he fails" or words to that effect.

No way he can survive now. That was so emphatic, I don't think even Shi can ignore this.

I think he'll go before West Ham because Shi won't want to face a toxic Molineux v Ipswich which he will if GON is still here then

Wishful thinking. Shi seems capable of ignoring anything with the probable exception of his bosses direct instructions.

I fear he has the mindset of King Canute and will only act when we are completely under water.
 
Like King Canute, Shi has already left it too late. It will be a massive ask to expect somebody to keep us up from here. All the great "escapologists" of the past, have made their teams difficult to beat. Even with the whole team behind the ball, we leak goals. If a new manager somehow managed to plug the leaky defence, given our wasefulness in the last third of the pitch, how would we ever score?
 
We actually have scored quite a few more than anyone else at the bottom.

Shutting the gate might help.

The most important step toward survival is firing this idiot into the sun, and I await that with little hope of the correct conclusion from Shi.

Scoring ain't the problem you're suggesting. Inevitably, being harder to beat will result in fewer goals being scored, but maybe 2 goals might be enough to win a match rather than 5 or 7!
 
He looks tired as hell and ten years older than when he took the job. Almost as though getting fired will come as a relief.

But what I am really fed up of hearing is GON or Dyche or any manager telling their clubs fans how hard they are working. Of course you are, that is your job. What matters though is not the quantity of work but the quality.
 
The picture on the "sacked in the morning" BBC story is at least funny. Looks like someone has properly pissed in the O'Neil cornflakes.

amazing though. We sack him now and we don’t have anyone in for West Ham so it will be Collins. Scramble around for Ipswich. Two games we have to win. They’ve completely fucked it

Potter, Moyes and Conceicao are all available, so hopefully our hapless management have sounded them out and one of them could be appointed today.

Just heard his interview with WM, interesting quotes. "I'm ready to work the next few hours, work tomorrow morning, to leave the club in the best place possible" - hopefully foreshadowing his departure

Maybe take the morning off then mate.

Sadly Cooper is also available and I expect us to look at Beale and Edwards :/

I have no faith that any of the three you've mentioned will be appointed, they'd all want real actual money.
