O'Neil Confirmed

[WsWolf]

You said everything we've done for two years has been to finish 17th or above... so why make an expensive, ambitious managerial appointment like JL?

He was available and willing to come. They thought he was the best option to avoid relegation?

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

You think we signed Cunha for 40-odd million and employed Lopetegui to finish 17th or above?

You think we employed O'Neill and had a huge transfer net incoming £ because we have ambitious ideas to be finishing way up the table?

 

[WsWolf]

If you didn't watch the last 4/5 games from last season, why are you always banging on about the Brighton and Arsenal defeats?

They still happened even if I didn't watch them. Same as the only win we've had this year happend, I didn't watch that either.

There were no other options that hadn't won a European trophy and cost £8m a year?

Who knows why we do what we do, but if this '17th and above strategy for two years' theory from WS holds water, explain Lopetegui and signing the likes of Nunes and Cunha

Well it hasn't been the strategy for the last 2 years, but it's our strategy now isn't it?

I've no idea who they spoke to. As I said, seen as the best option to keep us up then disposed of when he'd accomplished it. Doesn't scream ambition.

Thank-you, that's the point I'm making to WS

Badly.

Signed Cunha because Lopetegui insisted on signing him.

Nunes was always to flip for a quick profit. If he hadn't been so shit for us Liverpool were primed to take him in Jan.

Couldn't have signed for Liverpool in January as he'd already played for Sporting and us and why would Liverpool want him to play for another PL team first for a mere 3-4 months before bringing him in? For more than they could have paid at source in August?

Why then upset that manager then. Now stuck with Cunha and unlikely to get bailed up of his deal like we did with Nunes.

You're on crack if you think they disposed of Lop once he'd achieved safety.

He binned us off because our owners are utter cunts.

Surely you can't believe a team would bin its manager 4 days before the season starts and claim it's because he achieved his goal and isn't needed anymore?

I don't take drugs, you shouldn't either. I notice you mention them a lot, if you are struggling DMs are open.

The way they treated his requests & ultimatums suggests the weren't that bothered about him staying? We've already established there's no FFP issues.

Because they are not very astute football people.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

Jesus, hwang has scored so cunha is the new scapegoat for TWF.
Get a grip lads

 

[Tony Towner]

There's no scapegoating at all. Expressing concerns about someone selected to play centre forward whose finishing is atrocious is a reasonable debate. I think he brings things to the team, but in front of goal he's an abomination. We paid £43m for him

Weird how missing an open goal from two yards brings serious criticism.

I like Cunha a lot but he's a Brazilian Adama so far. He'll know that needs to change. Whether he can make that change happen is... not looking likely just now.

I've taken loads of drugs. It's been fun.

 

[Del Woppio]

Every time I see this thread title I get embarrassed for the executives at our football club. We actually employ Gary O'Neil. We chose it.
