Can’t stand either tbf but prob hate O’Neil more a complete fraud of a man.

What an awful choice though.
 
Jono Franks in a podcast not long back came out and said that GON was fantastic with the younger lads whilst at Boro and it was no surprise he was doing a great job at Wolves.

Thought that was quite interesting.
 
O'Neil is one of my least favourite Boro players I have ever seen, I don't really feel he was an 'honest pro' and flattered to deceive even at Championship level.

However as a manager at both Bournemouth and now Wolves he has come across as very capable and a class act. I have to admit as a person maybe he's not who my impression of him as a player suggests.

Wilder however repeatedly shows us who he is now.
 
It was in a relegation fight as well

Gary Megson’s Bolton Wanderers thrashed Gareth Southgate’s Middlesbrough towards the end of the 2008/09, leaving the North East club deep in the relegation mire.
 
That a professional footballer playing at the highest level would deliberately be booked so he can catch a round of golf on the tele.

That game always stuck in memory. There was. Boro board called Block17 at the time - and I said O'Neil was trying to get booked and suspended. It was really amazing how.long it took the ref to actually book him
