There are various reasons why i cant see O'Neill leaving Villa to go to Liverpool.

He's a very loyal bloke, he doesn't walk out on contracts without good reason. He turned down Leeds and Spurs to stay at Leicester.

He is building something good at Villa, with young British players, which are what he prefers to work with. There's not too many of that type of player in the current Liverpool squad. It would probably take at least three years to build the type of squad he wants.

I don't really know how the chairman works at Villa, but from the outside he seems to be one of the better chairman to work for. As Longy said, boardroom interference forced him out at Norwich (and Wycombe), and it nearly did at Leicester.

Also i'm not sure if O'Neill would move his family to the north of England.

I agree with all of that but the pros for someone like O'Neill are massive also.

* He will earn more money.
* He will be working with some world class players.
* He has the chance of Champions League football (hopefully).
* He has probably taken Villa as far as they will go.
* He can be an absolute messiah at Liverpool by turning their fortunes around.
* He may not get (is unlikely to get) a shot at a big 4 club again.

I agree with the sentiment of your post though. I cannot see many who would like the Liverpool job right now.

MO'N won't put up with a board telling him what to do or interefering as my own club found out about 15 years ago now.

This is why if Rafa makes the top 4 this season he wont be sacked. He knows his mandate and he's happy with it.

Surely his mandate at the beginning of the season was to win the title and challenge in the champions league?

Everything else is now just a ready-made excuse to fall back on having failed to do so.

No his mandate is to help reduce the club's debt whilst keeping us in the Champions League spots. If we can challenge and win trophies obviously that a bonus. It's very similar to Wenger's charge at Arsenal right now.

Actually if you are second you are financially sound. If you are fifth you go under.

Still a lot to prove before able to be a celtic manager, but most players that played for us, do want to come back as manager, so i can see it happening in the future

he is certainly "proving" a lot better at the moment than the current incumbent.

Damn, it is all a bit easy now.  Not even putting up an argument for the defence.
