Just a point on O'Neill sitting on the bench for the second half of that game. It wasn't to take over and undermine the reserve manager, it was because of an incident in the directors box that pissed him off to the point where he didn't want to sit in there anymore, so he went down to the bench.

I'm not sure on the details, but I heard that he basically felt Liverpool officials were trying to make him look a cunt, so he left the directors box.

Whether he had good reason for that or not I don't know, but he wasn't going down to the bench to manage the reserve side.
