The Club is keen to speak with Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neil, according to Sky Sports News. That sounds about right for Albion as he’s probably the cheapest option of all names mentioned. Has he had any Football League experience? None from what I can recall. What the hell Is going on?

Had spells in Ireland and Scotland if I recall from last time he peaked the clubs interest, lower league in Scotland at that.

We had a manager leave us to manage Shamrock Rovers after he learnt his coaching skills with us - Johnny Giles.

gutted the day he left, but don't think O'Neil could pass a ball like Johnny

If we take long enough. We can shrug our shoulders and say the reason why we missed out the best players is manager came late.

wonder if Brunt suggested O'Neil as an option.........maybe Brunt will be an assistant or is he that already.............? O'Neil and Hughton linked so far........two names linked with us for about 5 years or more? Wonder what Dowling actually does?

exactly what I was going to ask, Both O’Neils have been linked to us the last couple manergerial changes and rarely are they even a target, similar with Hughton.

It’s not what does Dowling do, but how lazy can journalists be to think we won’t notice the same names crop up over and over again?

Shamrock Rovers and Baggies fan here so probably qualified to give an opinion on Michael O'Neill. Won back-to-back titles and brought Rovers to the Europa League group stages - first Irish club to do it and it's an amazing achievement.

Equally with Northern Ireland, became the first (and only) bottom seeds to to win a Euros qualifying group, again an amazing achievement.

He's a very impressive bloke and a top manager IMO, only caveat is that his best work has been done as an underdog where tactical nous has beaten better sides. Don't know how he'd get on with one of the favourites in the Championship.

O'Neill is a complete non-starter. His track record for clubs is the Irish and lower Scottish divisions. Most of his players would have been there on free transfers or loans.  Preparing for mtaches with N Ireland would be completly different to the intensity of the matches in the Championship.
If he is a serious candidate, I'd rather stick with Shan.

One of the favourites!  :o With what’s going on we will be odds on to be relegated.
It is not the taking part, but the winning that counts.

Graham Potter appointed new Brighton manager after leaving Swansea

Adding to his skills before returning to his spiritual home, no doubt

Interest in O’Neill stepping up...

https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/west-bromwich-albion/2019/05/20/northern-ireland-boss-michael-oneill-emerges-as-candidate-for-west-brom-job/

This would stink of Alan Irvine to me.

49?! The guy has had one heavy paper round. He’s effectively a ‘young and hungry’ Manager. I could have sworn he was 60.

I wanted Hughton 7 years ago but I'm very wary of newly sacked managers as they are rarely successful plus he's 60 now. Given our recent record on sacking managers and our limited budget, I really don't know who we could attract. I wanted Dean Smith this time last year. What about ex dingle  Paul cook?
