'Hugely underwhelming' - fans on nearing O'Neil appointment

We asked for your views on Ipswich Town closing in on appointing Gary O'Neil as their new head coach.

Here are some of your comments:

Nicholas: He is not the right choice. He was shown to be very poor under pressure when at Wolves, blaming other parties in public. He is therefore the wrong personality for our club.

Andrew: Worst appointment of a manager ever when there's better out there.

Raymond: Hugely underwhelming and a step backward. Where's the ambition? O'Neil is Championship level (no offence).

Mark: Honestly, who knows the answer to this question? We all do in a year's time. Remember thinking: ''Who's Kieran McKenna?" He turned out to be brilliant, but he didn't keep us in the Premier League, and we'll now never know if he could have. If O'Neil comes, he needs our full support, so I don't think negative speculation would be very helpful. Let's give anyone who comes our backing and see what happens.

Sue: Bad appointment. Has not had success in Premier League - both his appointments led to sackings because results were so poor.

Ed: He has big shoes to fill and a fanbase to win over, but he also has a lot of money to spend and he's been there and done it in terms of Ipswich's main goal this season: staying in the Premier League. Good luck to him. Shame Thomas Frank wasn't available though.

Mark: O'Neil kept Bournemouth and Wolves up. He needs our support trying to follow McKenna.
