Martin O Neill

[jasmine57]

Sacked by Sunderland. <br /><br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21985808<br /><br /><br /><br />

He's a busted flush as a manager.

 

And he has to have a massive budget too.

 

That said, the timing is very odd.

 

Sunderland's run in is brutal too - next two games are Chelsea & Newcastle away

[tightbreeks]

he'll be on match of the day soon, I can listen to him because he doesn't just state the obvious. keane and collymore are good talking heads as well.

[Old Wing Stand]

Sunderland apparently in talks with Paulo de Bamio lol

[Redstar]

Ridiculous decision...Sunderland sack O'Neil... AFC promote Broon to the Board...Hello...It's almost like its tomorrow

[barassie_afc]

fucked villa, arguably fucked celtic and bigger chequebook manager than walter myth

Confirmed as head coach. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21990117

 

This is either going to be an inspired move from Sunderland or it'll do nothing to address their descent. I know which one I'll be backing.

 

It would be interesting to see a points per pound spent since Sunderland were prompted and how it compares to other teams. Keane, Bruce and O'Neill have all made fairly big fee signings yet for all that spending they are still clinging onto their top flight status,

David Milliband has resigned as vice chairman after the appointment of di Canio

Good post. Fully agree and have detested the guy for years. Used to crack me up when he was touted for the Man Utd job.

 

The reson I detest him is when we best them in that 2-0 game (Mackie tackled Rab Douglas for a goal) and he gave us no credit and said his team would have won if they'd wanted to etc. Showed him up for what he was.

[Old Wing Stand]

My Sunderland supporting workmates is fuming at this can't say I blame him Di Canio is a fucking idiot should be good for a laugh though

[baldrick_sheep]

Mental appointment, so bad I initially thought it was an April fool. Makes dundees appointment seem reasoned and sensible, he is one of the worst people involved in football.

[Henry]

We should have gone for Di Canio as manager.

Spot on Bobo, he really pissed me off that night with his complete lack of respect for us.

 

Also remember the Tims went mental with our players "train" celebration as supposedly we showed a lack of respect to THEM!!! Laughable

[swifty]

We should have gone for Di Canio as manager.

And put in a bid for van Persie and Messi too whilst we were at it.

We don't need them

[RUL]

Di Canio did pretty well at Swindon I thought, what are Sunderland fans so raging about?

Was that the same night we pelted them especially Alan Thompson with sna ba's

[diamondsr4ever]

di canio wil not take shite of anyone, he has high expectations and any players in a comfort zone will get a slap....he will bring an honesty and passion to a club going through the motions, he may last months, he may last years, but he wont change his style for anyone, good luck to di canio.

The fact he's a Nazi,sorry, I mean a fascist.

 

Albeit a non racist or violent one according to Di Canio, apart from the time he had to apologise to a Swindon player for a comment that wasn't racist but maybe did just make reference to the colour of the player's skin.

[rgudon]

No seat on the board for O'Neil..?

[Dynamo]

Why did no one think of going for Di Canio for AFC?

Fucking hell.

He'd have a field day with wiggy.

[Henry]

Di Canio confirms he isn't a racist:

 

When I was in England my best friends were Trevor Sinclair and Chris Powell, the Charlton manager – they can tell you everything about my character.

[Dynamo]

Sunderland presser

 

[E-P-K]

 

 

He will certainly make Sunderland games better viewing, and lose the plot copious amount of times, Sunderland have a very difficult run in, but I think Di Canio will keep them up.

Looks like a Hun to me.

[minijc]

Trying to get on the 2/1 for him to be fined by the FA before the end of the season, hills had it up this morning, think I've missed the boat.

[K-9]

Martin Oneil is a vile little rat.

[ChutneyLove]

Martin O'Neill speaks like he's just been fucked up the arse by something with great girth.

 

I think he takes it up the arse.

 

Edit: With a glance to cheesepipes (RIP), from big black men.

[Huntlysheep]

I da think O'Neil is that great a manager if he was he would be at a bigger club than Sunderland. He's all spend spend spend, with nothing to show for it in England wi Villa or Sunderland.
