MrBass 2831 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Means diddly squat tbh. Had MON become our manager then who knows what he could have done with our squad, same goes for all the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Neill's done OK considering what he inherited, although there's no doubt Villa are shakey in the Premiership lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given we drew with Man Utd at home recently I don't see how you can say that for sure. We'd have given Man Utd a tough match up here I reckon.

Renton 22615 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I'd still take any of those mentioned over Roeder, including Le Guen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 47441 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 See what O'Neill does in the summer tbh. He'll have his work cut out attracting people to Villa, but if Lerner stumps up the cash, they could very well come on in leaps and bounds next year. They've stagnated a bit since he took over, but their squad isn't exactly great, as is, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 The world is full of 'what ifs'. As much as I thought he was a dour twat before he came here, I really though Dalglish was the man who make the jump to silverwear that KK couldn't. I've come to the conclusion that we're a jinx and whoever comes here will struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 11112 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 MON Villa team that lost to ManUre in the cup Kiraly ,Hughes ,Ridgewell ,Cahill ,Bouma ,McCann ,Osbourne ,Petrov (Samuel ,66 ) ,Barry ,Angel (Baros ,53 ) ,Agbonlahor Subs not used Davis,Whittingham,Olejnik, Odreary team that lost to ManUre in the final game of 2004, reaching 6th in the Premiership Sorensen ,De la Cruz ,Mellberg ,Ridgewell ,Samuel ,Hendrie (Whittingham ,75 ) ,McCann ,Hitzlsperger ,Barry (Dublin ,82 ) ,Angel ,Crouch (Allback ,57) Subs not used: Delaney,Postma, can't see too much difference there, seeing as MON is supposed to be lightyears ahead of Odreary in managerial skill to be fair to MON he hasn't had enough time to build his own team, also the performance of the inexperienced centre halves, midfielder (osbourne) were cause for celebration in Birmingham if you ask me. it's ridiculous to try and compare two different villa sides playing against two different Man U sides, in two different competitions, with two different runs of form going into the game. I see MON making lasting improvements at Villa, with a chairman who'll back him and seems like he's happy to take a back seat in things (unlike Deadly Doug).

Guest alex Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 O'Neill has done a good job wherever he's been and I fully expect him to do a good job at Villa. He's already made them look a better outfit imo. We missed out on not getting him as he's a cut above Roeder I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@yourservice 67 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 MON is well overrated and who has he managed?a scottish outfit in a 2 horse race and before that? Talks and look's like a good tactition etc etc but really he's fooling everyone into thinking that he is a good manager,and hats off to the bloke for doing that,he's done well to a lot but not to me he hasn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
