TopDon Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Fucking hell. Tried watching that press release from Burrows, but WTF. Are we just a complete shambles now? Link to comment
Geoff_Tipps Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 The interview rivals the infamous Prince Andrew interview. They truly believe we are all thick as shit and will buy the shite they spout. I hope MoN declines so we can see what sort of spin the club come out with next. It's a complete soap opera. Link to comment
jamiesd Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 That ‘update’ really is a shocker. Good questions from Mal and first class impression of Tony Blair by Burrows. Link to comment
Don_Corleone Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Does anyone really think Michael O'Neill is going to take this job even if we do agree terms with N.Ireland which is likely to cost us somewhere between £0.5-1m. Link to comment

Nah. I would say if he really wanted it, things would be a lot further down the line. 1 Link to comment

Hibs faced same problem when he was in frame there and walked away [remember he still lives in Edinburgh] Yeah but you have to remember, O’Neil did a Sportsound Monday night interview with Kenny Macintyre a few years back, where he claimed somebody in Scottish football was creating a false narrative that he (O’Neil) had a problem with the booze, and as a consequence, the job he was offered (I can’t recall if it was the Hibs vacancy or maybe Dunfermline) got pulled off the table. He never did reveal who that whistle blower was Link to comment
madjockmcferson Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 37 minutes ago, RedRichard said: So why would O'Neill tell a journo on tuesday night that the connection with us was a media construct? Would he be so desperate to avoid the speculation that he'd just lie? because he has a job and is (maybe) increasing his leverage like any worker would do. or something else 1 Link to comment

If it’s O’Neill then he will be costing a decent amount. You then have potential coaching staff, likely candidate is Diarmuid O’Carroll his NI assistant but also St Mirren assistant currently so he would also cost(supposed to be a very good coach), Jimmy Nicholl, Aaron Hughes and dare I say it Steven Davis are his other coaches currently. His previous assistant at Stoke is now Gerrards assistant in Saudi. 1 Link to comment

Sheepskin_1903 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 If O'Neil was the first choice, then i very much doubt we have been sitting waiting for weeks, with a decision or compensation still to be agreed or other areas to be agreed. It just wouldn’t make sense. likewise, if we were as close as Burrows made out, then why drop the video statement today. A written update would have sufficed. something stinks and i still think Journo’s have no real clue, so are still sitting on the O'Neill information from a week or so ago. like others, i suspect we have been knocked back by our primary targets, and have now moved on to someone in europe. 1 Link to comment

They're saying he was in line to get job after Robson was appointed permanently or was going to get it this Summer coming after Warnock? Link to comment

He never did reveal who that whistle blower was I think the story was he thought he was getting the Hibs job but the St Johnstone chairman (Brown?) told him someone was spreading the drinking rumours around, allegedly from the camp of some other boy who wanted the Hibs job. Anyway, let's get him in, sooner the better. Link to comment
