Martin O'Neill It Is Then...

I don't think that Karanka was let go only because of the league position. There was clearly a major split over team selection, failure to exploit our young talent and, probably, recruitment. AK had a similar problem at Middlesbrough with one of the best Owners in the country and left with a similar MO. I don't agree with the criticism of Marankis. We have a lot to thank him for and I am sure that he wants the same as us.

He resigned he wasn’t let go. Please use the term allegedly forced out if you don’t want to say resigned

I used the term that I thought was most accurate given that none of us know or will ever know what actually went on.

ok he allegedly  wasn't sacked he was put down like you would an animal with the mad cow disease and rabies combo

the more I think about how it all broke down the more I think we will not find out the truth

Martin O'Neill if nothing else gives the owners a fair opportunity to manifest whether they are supportive and have integrity or just deluded, desperate, interfering, soulless, nut jobs in the vein of Fazzar

6 months or 18 months?

The fact of the matter is that there is no long term plan anymore, not just at Forest but at most football clubs.

Times have changed, especially in The Championship, now it's all about the presesnt, the here and now, nothing else matters.

We may not like it but that is what it is.

I think Martin O'Neill himself actually said something along those lines in his interview yesterday.

fascinating … Grantham Town, what I like most about any manager is the small beginnings which no one mentions, Wycombe was exceptional but he did a fantastic job at Grantham

notice in the article they didn't mention ANY of this ….

Trivia

• First Celtic manager since Jock Stein to win a domestic treble.
  
  
• First Celtic manager to take the club to a UEFA Cup final.
  
  
• His Celtic side won a record 25 league games in a row in 2003-04.
  
  
• From 2001-2004, Celtic remained undefeated at home until Aberdeen won in Apr 2004. A remarkable record under MoN.
  
  
• Seven domestic trophies won under Martin O'Neill.
  
  
• Trademark: after any major Celtic goal, he had a famous habit of jumping in the air with his fists raised. A little humorous but illustrated his wonderful character and emotion to all.
  
  
• Stood up against bigotry when Neil Lennon was barracked all 90 mins in matches v Rangers for his Irish Catholic background.
  
  
• He was not a former Celtic player, but a supporter when growing up.
  
  
• Celtic won a record seven in a row victories over Rangers under his charge.
  

almost impossible to summarise M O N and capture all his achievements without expanding the article by several paragraphs

True.  An astounding record at Celtic.

He's one of the brightest managerial lights of his generation.  

A glittering array of achievements.  He's been successful.  He's a winner.

But the thing, for me, is that he earned his stripes in the lower leagues learning his trade.  He's shifted gears and achieved at all levels.  But he started at the bottom and worked his way up like Brian Clough.
