Yes, I imagine he will go to the IFA tomorrow and ask them to counter offer/better the SFA offer (if the offer from the SFA was not good then there would be a statement saying all parties are moving on) with a answer on Monday (it would be rather unfair on O'Neills part to make it drag out until Euro draw with neither team knowing if he will be their manager come September.

N4Footsoldier Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 The reports seem to be that his base salary will be more at NI but with SFA he could earn much more in incentives should we reach tournaments etc. NI Press seem adamant that he's not going anywhere.

IFA have offered him £750k a year over 6 years, while SFA are (reportably) offering £1m, but with a number of bonus payments based on performances and qualification.

DaveyDenoon Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I had to have a wee chuckle at the fact that “O'Neill impressed the SFA delegation with the level of his preparation during a lengthy meeting.” What if they hadn’t been impressed with his preparation? What if is preparation had been a bag of shite? What if they thought “Oh dear we’re not impressed and maybe he’s not our man?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4Footsoldier Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 The Sun reporting that O'Neill looking likely to snub the job whereas the Recond (Sunday Mail) reporting that the IFA have legitimate fear he could run away. Battle of which rag can spout the most pish. Who's taking bets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ormond Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Aye. You can just imagine the smarmy attitude of Regan with O’Neill telling him thanks but no thanks after Regan has ballsed it up beyond belief.

BucksburnDandy Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 The blame for me would lie at the door of the Scottish FA board who were guilty, after around mid-December, of dithering too long over speaking to O'Neill. Another Rangers and McInnes situation where the current employer moves heaven and earth to keep their manager, while the prospective employer takes so long that the manager questions whether he would get the support he receives at his current job. Blame would also lie at the door of the Scottish FA that we have ended up so financially poor due to not qualifying for tournaments for over 20 years.

romanticscot Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Isnt Eck involved in a group buying Charlton or something. We have to go foreign now or sadly Strachan is the best available. What a mess, you dont publicly communicate candidate X is your man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JECK Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Never wanted him.My gut feeling is he's had 2 very good groups in a row, set is team up well in those obviously but he would never have qualified that NI team from our euro 2016 group or gotten top 2 in our last campaign. Step up in class between both groups and know one would be talking about him now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
