I genuinely fail to see what people want.

Look at the bigger picture.

We've been a yo-yo side since the 60s. We've now established ourselves as a mid table premier league side. In reality, the past five or six years have been the best five or six year spell for decades. It's the first time since the late 50s that we've had six successive seasons of top flight football.

We've spent an awful lot of money doing this - managers without a track record have spent - and in some cases wasted - a fortune.

We've wanted a manager with a proven track record.

We've wanted a manager who doesn't have to rely on a chequebook.

We've wanted a manager who can mould a team, not a collection of expensively assembled individuals.

We want players who'll come here, good players, who'll want to stay, rather than seeing us as stepping stone.

We've got all of this in place now. Let O'Neill get on with his job, rather than having a hissy fit when we're linked with a player who's not a big enough name for you.

I've read with interest comments criticising others about having blind faith in O'Neill. When something's proven it's not a question of having faith.

To use an analogy, if you appoint a cleaner to be CEO of a major company you need blind faith. If you appoint a previously successful CEO into the role then you have confidence he'll do a good job, and give him time to sort things out; rather than whining because he hasn't doubled profits after 8 months, or bought different furniture than you would have done.

The fact is, for the first time in a hell of a long time, we have a manager who's proven; a manager who's been there and done it.

I'm happy to back any signing MON makes this season, as I'm confident he'll do it well.

After all, if we're not prepared to fully back MON now, we're never going to fully back any one.

Here bloody here.

Well said mate. spot on.
 
I remember his outstanding performance against us a couple of seasons ago and in the few times I've seen him since he has looked a really exciting player. I would be pleased if we could sign him.

Hear hear!

The only people who wouldn't have him are the retarded who never watch a game of footy but play fifa12 obsessively and have the opinion he is inferior. Sad *****.
 
A young lad with potential, but not proven in this league.

Have we not learned from Wickham!!!
A YOUNG lad with POTENTIAL.
Where lies the problem? Or do you want us to go out and buy 11 ready made players and win the league on the budget we have?

f***ing hell man, Wanny, man... you sexy sexy bastard! Top post!
 
Be a canny signing, bags of pace and like what has been mentioned, tore us apart at the SOL. Was very impressed with him then, only seen him a few times last season though

Some fullback that tore us apart at SOL is about to go under with Pompey;)
Seriously , like the look of Phillips,certainly worth a go.
 
Without reading through over 200 posts. Does anyone have any idea if this deal is actually going to happen and if so then is it anywhere near done?
 
At the very least he'd give us a bit of something different in midfield, which is what we desperately need. Similar to Sinclair.

We need options from the bench - he could do that for a decent price.
