Martin O'Neill

Whats the opinion of everyone here,

Managing Celtic is his dream job, but would the lure of Premiership football with Leeds be too tempting?

I sure hope he stays, and finishes his revolution at Parkhead.

he said himself yesterday he does not intend to go anywhere..

He was a celt growing up and has said he does not intend to leave until he is thought of in the same light as Big Jock..

And for that he needs success in Europe..

So its gonna be a while

I think he'll go. If not now then at the end of the season. Celtic is big great club but the leauge they're playing in is a joke and as a consequence the winning of a European Cup is a impossibility. Martin O'Neill is a great manager and will eventually look for a great challenge Celtic don't provide that especially now that a move to England has been rendered impossibel.

All he has said so far was that there has been 'No Official Approach' from Leeds.

Hopefully he's just using all this speculation to get himself a new contract, and the transfer funds that he needs to get the Celts in with a chance of Phase 2 Champions League Football.

I dont think he will go. He has said he will honour his contract and also he is a Celtic fan with shares in the club.

IMO the only job he would move for is the United one. What is the attraction of Leeds? They are not in the CL and they are nowhere near competing with United, Arsenal and Pool.

I am worried he has signed no contract extension..

He could have all the money in the world to buy players, the problem is convincing the world class players he needs taht celtic is the place to come. They need to join the Premiership.



I agree with Bucks, i think he'll wait for the Man Utd job.

I hope he stays,

I think that the only jobs he'd leave Celtic for is the United Job,
and maybe Scotland, Ireland or NornIron manager.

But even then i figure he'd only leave cause the money wouldn't be available at Parkhead for him to keep the MO'N machine rolling on.

Theres not a chance of him leaving,after all this is a man that has ployed a million pound of his own money into the club,does that sound like a man in a hurry to get outa there?

He wont go.

great point Sposs

I don't think he'll take it. Apart from money, Helland Road has nothing to offer him. If he gives up the CL for that job, he's crazy.

Martin O'Neill has vowed to stay at Celtic, saying Leeds have not approached
him and he intends to see out the remaining year of his contract at
Parkhead.

O'Neill was the favourite to replace David O'Leary at Elland Road but,
despite the Leeds board reportedly interviweing candidates this week, the
Ulsterman denied he was one.

And O'Neill pledged to stay at Celtic after winning the SPL title in his
first two seasons with the Bhoys.

"There has been no approach from Leeds and I want to see through the
remaining year of my contract," he said.

"I was shocked when I heard that David O'Leary had been sacked but these
things happen in football," O'Neill said in an after-dinner speech in Dublin
on Friday afternoon.

"There are only a few managers in football who are unsackable, like Brian
Clough, Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson - and I am not one of them.

"I know that I can be sacked at any time, but if Celtic do not sack me I
intend to see out my contract," onefootball.com quotes him saying.

The former Leicester manager was bemused by all the attention he was
attracting.

"I can't really understand it. If I was Robert Redford I could understand
all the fuss, but I am not," he said.

Hopefully the lure of money and a challenge for the premiership won't drag O'Neill down to Leeds.

Tahnkfully hes staying!
When the story first surfaced I thought there was no way he'd go to Leeds as it would only be a sidways move.
But I must admit all the speculation had got me worried so Im happy hes stated his position, for now................
Its been reported today (monday) that hes been flown down to see Dermot Desmond (who's in Limerick at the moment) after the games on saturday and sunday for talks over a contract extension.
