Martin O'Neill was never going to be Ireland manager because:
1. we are a third rate international team
2. O'Neill's ambitions are for success which is not going to be achieved with us
3. we could not afford him and even if we could, read 1 and 2.
Honest! I am not a secret Tim nor a closet Sham - I really am a Seagull.
Said it from the start on this website, O'Neill would never be our manager, he's British, England or Northern Ireland would be his dream international job. We are much better off with Staunton, at least he's Irish
Anyway, it'll be fun to watch Engerland play the hoof it up, long ball game under O'Neill
If he takes the England job, he can then wear the medals he received from the queen on his International blazer.
And if the unthinkable were to happen, like England winning a tournament. We can always say they needed a Derry Man to do it.
undecided about MoN taking the England job. always dreamed he would manage us,but as mentioned he is a very ambitous manager. Personally also about the hoofing football. I know I wouldnt care as long as we were winning something.
He does not owes us anything. He has not taken the England job so its all speculation.

How do you know he's British? And how do you know England or NI would be his dream job?Said it from the start on this website, O'Neill would never be our manager, he's British, England or Northern Ireland would be his dream international job.

LOL @ the MON for ireland thing
Patrick Barclay, a Scotsman, wrote the following in the Sunday Telegraph at the weekend, which prompted my post on O'Neill on another thread (in World Football):
O'Neill, however intelligent, witty, charming and able - I have always found him among the most attractive characters in the game - is a Northern Irishman. I think the England manager should be English, just as Brazil's manager is Brazilian, Italy's Italian and so on.
Meanwhile the likes of [the FA's] Richards behave as if they were in charge of a club, star-gazing at O'Neill and pretending he is almost English.
He is not. A footballer cannot be almost English any more than a woman can be half-pregnant and the same is true - morally, if not under the regulations - of managers. Sir Alex Ferguson made that pithily clear when, asked if he would manage England, he replied: "I wouldnae betray my country.'' It is less of a joke in the case of O'Neill, who, though he has long been happily integrated into English life after a republican upbringing in County Londonderry, thought twice before accepting an MBE in 1982. What he would think of the Ulster loyalist anthems belted out by some of England's least edifying supporters is hard to imagine. And how a wider body of the support would react when they came to terms with the likelihood that O'Neill would want as his right-hand man the former Scotland winger John Robertson, who goes everywhere with him, is another imponderable.
Also, does every thread on this board have to be polluted by those intent on just winding people up?
ya exactly, those that cant create constructive discussions/points, but just post a one liner stupid ignorant sentence because they are incapable of doing anything else.
such as most of the posts above.
very good piece stutts, thanks for that.

Maybe his British passport
You celtic lads have to accept it, he didn't want to manage Ireland because it didn't feel right for him, he has NO connection with us WHATSOEVER now he's making public he wants to manage England

Is there any quotes from Martin O Neill to suggest
A) he did nor did not want to manage the Republic of Ireland
B) he did or did not want to manage England.
I dont think there is which suggests that this is all speculation for the moment.
In Trap we trust
A) The fact he turned it down
B) The fact his agent says he is and has let the FA know he is.
The problem here is that it seems forbidden to have an opinion against him because he managed celtic
A) Where are the facts that he turned it down as in do u have quotes to back this up and secondly maybe he turned it down (thats if he did) for personal reasons rather than professional ones.
B) Again could you provide quotes on this one also/

Also Martin O Neill has proven to be a very good manager at a few different clubs. I woud not be personally fond of the brand of football that his teams play but he is a very very good manager. I dont think his managing Celtic makes him beyond criticism as there are many people who post on this forum that are not too fond of Celtic Football Club.
