"I was a little bit disappointed with that because I didn't get a phone call from any of the managers. They felt whatever they decided to do, or what avenue they took to raise their concerns, it's disappointing given that I've managed over 100 international games, and I've always put the players first."
"If I'm honest, I'm a little bit disappointed. I would never want Northern Ireland's players to affect their club situation. These clubs, they ask for references on players, they ask for character references."
Michael O'Neill, Northern Ireland manager, is disappointed by clubs that raised concerns about his dual role with Blackburn Rovers. The English Football League confirmed they received complaints from one or more clubs, but it is not an issue for them to address. O'Neill noted that he did not receive any direct communication from the managers of these clubs. He emphasized his commitment to prioritizing players and protecting their interests, despite the concerns raised by clubs regarding player performance and club situations.
