Classic Big Interview: Michael O’Neill Part Two Jan 18, 2024

Show notes

Here’s another chance to hear my interview with Michael O’Neill from season one.

In part two, we hear about how Michael’s playing career influenced his management vocation. There was a sense of underachievement from his playing days, a sense that he had needed to be better managed. Dundee United’s legendary boss Jim McLean was certainly a genius and ahead of his time, but altogether too harsh. For example, Michael was cast aside for seven months over a contract dispute. Also: Luis Suarez, Snow Patrol and Windsor Park.
