I'm now quite interested in your defintion of muted, Mr Descartes?His impact on the premier league is muted.

Can you include an irrelevant dataset in your answer, cheers.

Well, consider 'the bell ringing and trumpet blowing' that met his appointment as Manager to Aston Villa, his possible appointment as England manager, since then there has been an almost silence as to his progress and achievements.
Descartes said:I fully realise that this method of illustration may be well beyond your usual realm of understanding.

Well, the gap between expectations and reality seem to be widening.

Martin O'Neil..
Just over half the games as a manager from Wycombe Wanders to date ( 54% ) won, only 36.76% win rate at Aston Villa.... Hmm, But, good manager?
Debatable.

Over half the games he's been in charge of in total, he's won. How is that an argument against him being a good manager?![]()
it does if you know fuck all about football.
That sentance makes no sense .
Unless you also look at the performances of the teams before a manager started to the change in performance once they have started you can maybe get a decent idea of how "good" that manager is .

He's gonna be shown the door come the end of season dependent on Barcelona's league success from what I've heard (ie. a repeat of last year and he's out).

O'Neill's most impressive achievement to date has to surely be what he did for Leicester. Turning a lower league side into a solid top 10 prem side for the duration that he was in charge, while not spending much money, and winning them two trophies. Very very impressive.

well looking at the teams he's managed his record seems very good, unless of course he's actually been managing Man Utd, Arsenal, and Barcelona for his entire career his record is very good no matter how you look at it.

I always think of him as younger same as most people.

I thought you were saying Augie knew fuck all about football and even though he is a colchester fan I have to admit he does know what he's on about![]()


I always think of him as younger same as most people but great a manager as he is, I'm glad he didn't take or get the England job for his own sake.

Cheers TM.
