Is he the best in the world that we could attract?

Genuinely, is this what Ashton had in mind when he said this in 2023?

maybe he stopped updating the plan in 2024?

This isn’t Ashton-bashing. It’s a discussion - is this who comes out on top of the dashboard, the process, the assessment? Are we all just naive to who we can attract?

The manager of a club we fought with last time round (and who got sacked after losing to us) just doesn’t feel that.

It may well be that Ashton genuinely believes that O'Neil has the attributes that he wants, and that are needed at the club.

I'm sure a fair few of us raised a collective eyebrow when we appointed a coach from Man Utd with no experience of management.

I'm definitely amongst the 'sceptical' camp when it comes to O'Neil, but there could be method to the apparent madness.

Not a prophet, or a stone-age man; just a mortal with potential of a superman.

Yeah, I hope I look silly. I actually quite like him on the telly box.

A lot has happened since then in terms of progression and perhaps a bit of a reality check of how hard it's going to be to get established in the Prem.

If it does end up being GON then he is the plan because we're going to need to pay compensation as far as I know.

I get the impression he has been top of the list since the club was aware Kieran was departing. If you remember, whispers went around when Kieran was linked with Fulham that O'Neil was the potential replacement.

I find that quite encouraging, even if I'm a little underwhelmed overall.

Yeah, I don’t dispute that really. I maybe dispute that he’s what Ashton would’ve expected in the 2023 interview, but maybe if he wasn’t some British bloke called Gary, we’d all be more taken by him and his record.

Well Gary O'Neil obviously wasn't the succession plan in Nov 2023 was he! 2.5 years is a long time in football and circumstances change. I daresay if we were still a Championship club in the upcoming season then O'Neil wouldn't be the succession plan either. He wouldn't be willing to leave Strasbourg for a start.

You’ve taken that far too literally, but okay.
