A lot has been said about Martin O'Neill and having read the article that Cest posted http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15999771.stm I am more than happy with this appointment. However, I want to say how happy I am with Ellis Short as chairman. He allowed Steve Bruce time to put things right and then acted swiftly when Bruces' position became untenable. He has managed to secure us a first class manager. Can't wait for Blackburn game.
I would expect that to happen In fact I can't think of any manager who has not brought his own staff with him.
I would think that Mr Short has enough about him to allow our new manager to bring-in who he wants,both in training-staff and playing-staff.After all,our new manager will live or die with his results.
i just have a horrible feeling that ellis short will let him bring in the main lot but not some of the smaller coachs ect
Agree about Ellis Short, Scatty. He gave Bruce more time than I would have done, but it wasn't out of complacency. We know that now. When he needed to act, he acted. Fair does to the man.
I don't think we could ask for much more than Ellis Short... He listened to the fans, took it all onboard, assessed the situation and then acted swifter than a diving peregrine falcon!
