If it is GON, he won’t be universally accepted. It’s just a fact.
There will be many that view this and underwhelming. Coupled with his Norwich connections, many expected much more.
Understand there will be LOTS that will take a LONG time to warm to him. |  | | |  |

It just won’t happen I’m afraid. Accept it.
There will be a large section of the fanbase that cannot/will not warm to this. |
I honestly believe so many people are delusional.
Just wait until he’s lost 3-4 on the spin and fans are turning on him at Portman Rd. It’ll happen so quickly be under no illusions | | | |

What is the point of being on a football forum if you’re going to get upset when people express views on things.
This isn’t the terrace - it’s fine to say whatever you like here. Can you imagine a forum entirely made up of “good luck Gary” posts? |
You okay hun? |  |

There is no manager this club could appoint who would be universally liked by 100% of the fans base. You only need to read this forum, Mgr A, highlighted by a poster, up voted by some, immediately hit with lots of 'No thanks'.
That's simply something you have to live with especially in these days of social media.
Also I keep seeing the expression 'expected much more' but what precisely is much more?
I like Thomas Frank but he nearly relegated Spurs, is he much more or much less, I really don't know. |  | | |

I do feel it may be a short term appointment if he keeps us up it's all good. Bournemouth were happy to bring someone else as did Brighton with Hughton. I am content to be pragmatic. McKenna isn't an easy replacement. I just think we just see what we see. It might not be all bad. |  | | |

The regulars on here already trying to dress this up as a good appointment.
I’ll say 90% of people do not want GON in charge of our football club but if you speak out against it you’ll be hounded on this forum. |
The overwhelming majority don't seem to want O'Neil so I think you're being a bit unfair. Nobody really knows how this is going to turn out. I think there are pros and cons for both options, and as other people have said, the recruitment will have as much impact. I personally think that people will warm to him once he gets he gets his ideas across. A certain way for him to fail is having everyone on his back from day 1. |  | | |

Deep down you all know how this is going to go.
We’ve all supported this great club for long enough, this isn’t an ITFC appointment. | | | |

He’s highly rated within the industry which is enough for me. We as fans don’t get to see important things like how he works with players day to day and gives them the tools to perform on match day.
He’s bringing Critchley who is an excellent coach despite not having success as a manager. [Post edited 19 Jun 21:16]

Neither was Mick and he was probably the only person who could have saved us in 12/13.
O'Neil is a hungry young coach keen to prove himself. That feels Ipswich to me. |  | | |

If he gets a few wins people will forget the negative stuff. All that matters is results. Hooe he gets them on the board quickly. |  |

What is an ITFC appointment?
Ive supported Town long enough to have seen us appointment managers after they were sacked from their previous club. Mgrs appointed from in-house Young managers with no experience, mature managers with loads of experience. Mgrs with lower league only experience.
In other words I've seen Town appoint mgrs from every aspect.
To be fair maybe you only started supporting since KM joined so you're experience is limited. | | | |

And even if that happens, what on earth have you exactly achieved other than being able to say “I told you so” on an internet forum? Show your support, get behind them and enjoy the ride. | | | |

This.
I’m just telling it how it is. He won’t be accepted by a large portion of the fan base.
That’s just the way it is. People need to understand that |
Sorry, but thats utter rubbish. A minority of recent 'fans' might not accept him but the vast majority will. We might have wished for a higher profile, more 'sexy' appointment,but I reckon he's a solid option. | |

Let's hope he's not an agent Manning in disguise.
Time will tell, if he can beat the mackems hopefully everyone will get behind him. | |

Yes that's definitely the fault of the people supporting their club and not you lot having a tantrum. |  | | |

Everyone should get behind him and the team during games.
But absolutely nothing wrong with being underwhelmed and not rating him. I didnt rate him at any point and look at how both Bournemouth and Wolves performed as soon as he left.
I was actually delighted when budgies were linked to him, they spoke apparently but didnt offer him anything annoyingly.
We wont stay up with him in charge next season but was going to be tough anyway. Will get behind the lads and him in the 90 minutes but hes not a Premier League quality manager and arguably not even a top championship one | | | |

Good luck to him but even his photo on the news story has the haunted look of a manager trying to explain away a 0-4 home defeat v Fulham. |  | | |

Who’s having a tantrum?
Again, just telling it how it is. He won’t get the instant support from a large section of the fan base. And I understand why.
Accept that fact. 🙏 [Post edited 19 Jun 21:27]

We’ve no chance of having a fair say on here, you’ve got 5-6 regular posters putting down our rational fears of this appointment.
Check the TWTD Facebook page post about GON appointment, 99% absolutely gutted we employed him. | | | |
