GARY O’Neil thanked Cherries fans for the support they showed him towards the end of Saturday’s thumping 3-0 win over Everton, adding: “They’re massive to us here.” Towards the end of the contest with the Toffees, fans around Vitality Stadium were singing O’Neil’s name, and the 39-year-old reciprocated at full-time, making his way around the ground to applaud supporters.
Gary O Neil said: “I wanted to show my appreciation. I’ve said it since day one – they’re massive to us here, they are. Because we will be underdogs in most of the games. And when an interim head coach is put in charge, it’s important that the fans stick with it. They’ve been through some tough moments with us. Obviously in the last few weeks some tough results, tough situations. They’ve just stuck with us the whole time. I just wanted to thank them really for being incredible for the boys and helping the boys get through some sticky moments and hopefully they enjoyed (Saturday).”
