o'neill on his way

Not sure Dunne would agree tbh.

Haha was it not cook who wanted him out? seem to remember Dunne slagging cook off but not Hughes?

Cook just gets blamed when theres an unpopular decision taken, it was deffo Hughes who wanted rid, he had full control over transfers.

Or perhaps Cook was taking the flack to protect Hughes?

IF he is going I reckon there's another premiership club due for a big money takeover soon and O'Neil has been lined up for the job. My guess would be Liverpool or maybe Birmingham.

Really though, I think Villa would be totally mad to let him go.

From reading the 'Villatalk' forum over the past season they really dont like Hughes so i dont think he'd be a very popular choice!

They don't like O'Neil either, most of them want him gone and say he is tactically naive. They also think he's spunked too much money(£100M+) on mediocre players.

Villa would be bonkers to let him go. He is a good manager and I wouldn`t say no to him at City.

O'Neills major downfall is that he is very set in his ways with regards to buying as you put it 'mediocre english players'.

I really hope that during the few days that they don't have a manager we bombard them with bids for James Milner.

They will struggle to find a better manager than O'Neil and I wouldn't have thought Hughes would be seen as a major upgrade by many people. As for throwing money after mediocre english players, I guess Hughes would at least throw it mmmmmmmmmm other players too...

Top 6 at the very best. Definitely not top 4. About the same as Hughes I'd say.

A couple of League Cups between 1997 & 2000. Give over.

I must say I would be pretty happy with "a couple of League Cups" over the last 30 years.

He wont go to Liverpool, hes useless with transfers and they'll want someone who can attract top names.

Martin O'Neil is a legend to me, but I'm not sure if he will bring a team into the top 4 in England.

Would give my left bollock for him to go back to Celtic.

Long Ball specialist..........

I'm not disagreeing with you, I don't really know, but you think the Celtic job is attractive than the dippers(without money)?

 

[mammutly]

Another thought.

Would he take the Ireland job?

Northern? I can't see it personaly.

 

[GTKirchoff]

Speaks volumes that Villa fans don't want him in a year hes got to a cup final, a semi (possibly further) and challenged for 4th. On second thoughts Villa fans might just be shite.

I heard all this has kicked off because Milner is on his way to the rags at the end of the season.
