Alot of people on here writing O'Neill off. They are probably the same people who claimed Eddie Howe was a fraud, not good enough and would be found out. I would suggest none of us really have a clue about how a managerial appointment will work out. I hope Lopetegui stays, purely from a continuity point of view but if he goes then so be it.
Well, you were proven wrong with your assertions last night that this was all journalist rubbish. Now you’ve caught up with JL leaving, you’re in the GON is ok camp? The guy sacked by those who knew him best, after he just kept them up. Yep, ringing endorsement there. The guy with less than a year’s experience as a coach, with no defined tactics, and no backroom staff. He may become a decent coach in time, but he needs more experience in the EFL where the pressure is less first.
As for Eddie Howe. He has masses of experience by comparison, and at EFL level before stepping up to the PL. I may not like some of his gamesmanship tactics, but I have never said he’s not effective, as he’s proven in his track record. O’Neil needs to go through the same EFL learning curve he did before he’s ready to take on a long term PL role.
