72, seventy two, 2*36, 6*12, 3*24, 8*9, 4*18,
Think I might have been a little hasty with my opinionWould prefer Carrick, Schumacher, Potter or Corberan to O’Neil.
The question was asked before he was appointed on 8th August . He was appointed on 9th by then almost 600 comments had been made .I voted yes from the beginning because I felt any manager deserved our support until he proved a failure. There are too many supporters on here who should be ashamed for not giving the guy time to prove himself .
More importantly than the supporters the players love him and that’s priceless.
If you look at @Skrilla's post it was 66 around 1800 today - l wasn't one of them!I've noticed the number has climbed to 77 now. The arrivistes are welcome, however the class of 72 is an exclusive club.
They’re not really unbelievable though, are they? The reaction would’ve been the same anywhere. He was a total novice who’d just been sacked by Bournemouth. Think back to the position we were in at the time, we’d just had a fire sale and lost the former Madrid and Spain manager on the eve of the new season, it’s understandable people were a bit miffed.Some of the comments when the bloke hadn't been in the job two weeks are unbelievable
From the same names you see shamelessly praising GON now

And shamelessly praising him? He’s done a bloody brilliant job, beyond anyone’s expectations so shock horror, people are really happy about it and him. That is football!
I thought he would be an absolute disaster - I was wrong, very wrong, clearly! That’s football and I am delighted that my comments look so stupid. If dragging up old comments makes you feel better about yourself keep patting yourself on the back for having faith that he’d do a good job. You had more foresight than over 90% of the folks on here, so well done you.From a chap who wanted us to lose games to get GON out
nothing shameless about my praise. i’m embarrassed i called him a pe teacher, even happier with how wrong i was.Some of the comments when the bloke hadn't been in the job two weeks are unbelievable

More than three wise men here
Well I did I was neigh on suicidal end of the world as we know itI didn't outright write him off I don't think but before I give myself too much credit I definitely wasn't excited by the appointment. I thought he did a good job keeping Bournemouth up and always believed any decent coach could keep our squad up but no way did I dream of this or expect to actually enjoy watching us again. My heart did sink when he was appointed as I thought the football would be a chore to watch after watching Bournemouth last seasonxbut happily it seems to be more to do with the poor squad he had there and he can work well with higher quality players.

Are you sure about that??? lolAnd no virgins.
Exactly this really. Being disappointed/underwhelmed at O’Neil getting the job was understandable, even Gary’s admitted that. Lovely to be proven wrong in a positive way, but we shouldn’t be using hindsight to score points.Time to post this again

202 people were happy with the potential appointment of Michael Beale, I'd hazard a guess that most of the 72 who were happy with O'Neil were also excited about that fraud of a manager coming in. I voted no for O'Neil because I felt we should be bringing in at least a half proven head coach, not someone with thirty odd games and a sacking as his managerial CV. In saying that, we don't see the presentations, the interviews and we don't see how they plan to go about things, we just see results and performances on the pitch. And fortunately, O'Neil has done a great job up to now
Well counting down from the top I’m 28,We should have badges made up: I was one of the original faithful 47/62/...
