Comments for Apparently, Martin O'Neill is in New York talking to Randy Lerner about the England job at http://www.avfcblog.com , comment 1 to 35 out of 20 comments http://www.avfcblog.com Fri, 25 Jul 2008 05:18:39 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2062/70/#comment-13050 All tho i dont belive this speculation to be true this is what iv allways worried about its not the best either when martin wont sign a big contract he says because he likes living on the edge. Well i think thats untrue what i really think is happening is he wont sing a big contract because he dose want the england job Every manager tells the odd porky here n there even the great martin o neill M.O.N Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee DONT go - Villa_Rules Sat, 17 Nov 2007 02:02:55 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2062/70/#comment-13042 Well im an Irishman and I wish with all my heart that England qualify for the championship because McClarens job would be safe - Myles Fri, 16 Nov 2007 22:35:49 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2062/70/#comment-12999 so randy is here every 10 days, which i think is good news for which way the clubs going, and MON finally gets a week off and decides to go to america to see him? that story involves something that automatically bypasses our media - common sense if you had a week off and had the opportunity to go to new york for a meeting - or stay in aston - what would you do? pure speculation, and i think MON is a bit too sensible to take the england job - brett Fri, 16 Nov 2007 11:38:10 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2062/70/#comment-12998 Until anything is proved, may that be MON signing on the dotted lines of his England contract, i don't want to speculate anything. - Dizzy Mugs Fri, 16 Nov 2007 11:29:47 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2062/70/#comment-12987 o'neil had the oppurtunity to be england boss before macclaren so i think if wanted it i think he would of took it then, he will stay at villa. - richie p Fri, 16 Nov 2007 09:34:58 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2062/70/#comment-12980 And why on Earth would MON fly to New York to plan an exit strategy? This speculation is pure silliness. - Villain from Texas Fri, 16 Nov 2007 02:31:48 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2062/70/#comment-12979 Adu plays for Benfica. So if you want him, you probably won't go to New York. I hope that your speculation about Altidore is correct. He's the real deal. In 2 years, your comparison to Harewood will look absurd. Alas, the only rumor I've heard is Altidore to Valencia. - Villain from Texas Fri, 16 Nov 2007 02:15:14 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2062/70/#comment-12978 What an absolute load of rubbish. Why on earth do you recipricate the shite that the tabloids print? Why on earth would MON want the poison chalice that is the England job, when he has it all ATM? He has a chairman who believes in him, has the backing if it comes to money and regardless of the shite on the websites, has the massive backing of the fans. The players adore him for his man-management. MON will never do a decent job for England, given the fact that he loves football. He's not a politician, he's a footy fan ;D - Badger Thu, 15 Nov 2007 23:07:40 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2062/70/#comment-12977 If i was on MoN's salary and I had wealthy friends/employers over in NY I would be going over there for a few days here and there as well... Picture the scene - Randy says to MoN "shall I pop over to your ranch next week in the midlands to speak soccer or do you fancy a trip to the Big Apple to chew the cud?".... The daily mail is obviously short on Royal stories this week. - steve m Thu, 15 Nov 2007 22:21:50 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2062/70/#comment-12974 Lerner would prob meet MON in NY as Cleveland Browns are playing away at the Baltimore Colts this weekend. What they'll be talking about is anyones guess. - ViLLaN Thu, 15 Nov 2007 21:00:42 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2062/70/#comment-12973 Lerner would prob meet MON in NY as the Cleveland Browns are playing at Baltimore Colts this weekend. What they would be meeting for is anyones guess tho'. - ViLLaN Thu, 15 Nov 2007 20:43:25 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2062/70/#comment-12970 Its funny, how papers make such tedious links! I could see this another way, Its the international break, MON tells the non-internationals etc to have 2 days off, rest up its been a hard few weeks. Randy rings up MON offers him to come to NY for few days, to meet some friends, maybe see some American Football or Baseball and talk about January Targets? With No quotes or evidence, this is nothing more than a bored reporter, hoping Mac will actually be sacked. - Tom24 Thu, 15 Nov 2007 20:01:18 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2062/70/#comment-12967 Atidore does look like a great striker. But this is the MLS even harewood could score in that league. i'd like us to agree a fee but take him on loan for a season just to see if he can butter his bread in the prem . Adu would be great but is he a flair player or a work horse ?. We need some flair in the middle of the park & a player that will get a shot on target from about 30 yards (Riquelme). - Chrisodon Thu, 15 Nov 2007 19:52:14 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2062/70/#comment-12964 Nice thought Luke......... but what would O'Neill be doing in America to do with Adu? he would have to be in Portagul considering he plays for Benfica now! as for altidore he's 17 and he looks the dogs nadgers! UTV - Northern Villan Thu, 15 Nov 2007 19:37:54 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2062/70/#comment-12963 I Adu old enough yet? I thought the Americans had to be 18 before signing professional contracts. We should have an angle into that market considering our chairman is there so why not find some quality youth out there? - Azz Thu, 15 Nov 2007 19:25:37 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2062/70/#comment-12957 Might be a player negotiation for January. Freddy Adu? The Daily Mail has just guessed. Remember, there is no game for a while. Bruce is on holiday and O'Neill could be for all we, and the Daily Mail, know. Nothing to worry about. I reckon the FA won't sack McClaren anyway. - Luke Thu, 15 Nov 2007 18:03:37 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2062/70/#comment-12956 He's gone to NewYork to sort out the big cash splash in January! youre kidding haha, aslong as we can get Mark Hughes i'll be fine, thats football mate! - VijayD Thu, 15 Nov 2007 17:22:19 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2062/70/#comment-12955 o neill wont go anywhere until he makes it at villa..villa is huge job 4 ne manager so why go 4 english job when ul get notin but abuse when u get poor result and media constantly watchin ur every move.. i only hope im rite,id hate 2 c him leave - stevievillaa Thu, 15 Nov 2007 17:21:54 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2062/70/#comment-12954 Any story thats leads with the line, "could it be..." really isn't the greatest journalistic investigation!! - Jambi Thu, 15 Nov 2007 17:20:29 +0100 http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/2062/70/#comment-12953 "[b]Could it be[/b] that Lerner and O'Neill were fine-tuning the exit strategy when, rather than if, the FA make their expected call to Villa for O'Neill to replace Steve McClaren as England coach?" Duh. It's a question so therefore it's pure speculation. The DM has no idea what's happening. Forget it. - YokohamaVilla Thu, 15 Nov 2007 17:19:19 +0100
