perthandproud Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 When does the managers contract run out? Say we were to get 500k in compensation, would it be worth it then? Baring in mind a few weeks ago some people were calling for him to go which could have cost us 500k(I'm plucking numbers out of thin air for the sake of representing a figure) Its an interesting dilemma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree, I cant think of many instances where we have stood in someones way, doubt if it would ever benefit anyone if you did.

R.B.B:- Adz Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Most Northern Irish papers tell a different story, stating that Tommy is one of 5 or 6 candidates that NI would consider - not a single Northern Irish newspaper reports Tommy as being the front runner. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to read The Scottish Sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wouldnt you be? We'll play two up front every week once he leaves, and wont be afraid of the Old Firm anymore. Probably play youngsters too instead of pensioners.

Kyle Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Looks like O'Neill is staying in charge of NI for their final two qualifiers against Germany and the Netherlands and, if NI end up in a play off for Euro 2020 in March, will be in charge for that game too. Nae luck Tommy haters - it seems he'll be sticking around for a while yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best wishes Tommy. We don’t need the money, we need a manger who knows the current squad inside out and has a proven pedigree of getting results in this league. How about this as a response question. If Wright goes who do you think is coming in that is a) as good as him b) guaranteed to learn the squad quickly and keep us safe.

Linky Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Northern Ireland aren't going to have to appoint until the end of the season, but might want to line someone up now. After their recent success I'd imagine they'd be looking for a bigger name, but who knows. I wouldn't want him to leave, but far better for him to go to that job than another in the SPL like Hearts or Hibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
