Sunderland are very lucky to have O'neill . If only lerner would have give him the 24 mill that he gave houllier then we wouldn't have a manager that knows nothin about football and we would be far from having the threat of relegation looming over our shoulders. I would be very surprised if sunderland don't start shooting up the table now (even if O'neill signs players like Davies and sidwell :p )

There were some things O'neill did exceptionally at Villa but also some dodgy decisions and buying some cracking players but also alot of s**t players and all of them were on big wages which he agreed.

Which is why Mcleish has to work with what he has as Villa will have to wait until we've either sold or ran down the remainder of O'neills contracts down then Villa will be able to balance the books and look to bring a few more stars in.

It's not Mcleish's fault he has a lacking squad if he had the squad we had 12 months ago he'd have Villa in 4-6 position but the fact is we've lost 17 players and 4 of which were key players and brought in 3 players with only one of them being a shrewed buy in Given if anyone is to blame it's Lerner he let o'neill spend stupidly and closed to purse for Mcleish despite sales of 40m plus.

SO BLAME LERNER AS HE LOST CONTROL IN THE GOOD DAYS AND NOW WERE SUFFERING FOR HIM ONLY NOW RELISING IT.
As Mcleish cant do much with what he has any manager would struggle with the squad we have now

Not true . Whilst i agree that we are not as strong as a squad when o neill was in charge i also think that if o neill were in charge with the players we had now we would finish mid table and win more than 3 games so far. Any manager could do that with the squad we got now. Problem is mcleish's tactics. 6 defenders on the field at tottenham , unattractive football in most matches this season. Slowly we are becoming birmingham city. However i agree that lerner is at fault as he has lost the passion for it. Time for him to sell up to be honest.
