Steve Staunton

**mackannovic** · 18/10/2007, 2:45 PM

I'm no legal eagle but if I didn't do my job right I'd be sacked without pay. Surely they could do him for breaching the terms of his contract i.e. Being a angry duracell lookalike instead of managing the national team.

Christ, Delaney would be over the moon if it only cost him a box of Chinese Chocolate bars to get rid of him!

I posted this post the Czech game.

Had a call and these are the exact words.

"If Steve decides to go, we [the FAI] will not stand in his way."

That call emanated from Prague and was I suspect the start of the FAi spin process.

I wouldn't doubt there was a meeting in the aftermath of last night as the 10 bodies of the supreme council were all together.

So basically its going to be one big stand-off...Staunton won't go without the golden handshake and the FAI won't admit their mistake and sack him so we're all going to suffer for 2 more years...

Standing up for a Drog goes against everything I believe in but he didn't state it as fact, as the question mark shows!!!

**Noelys Guitar** · 18/10/2007, 3:31 PM

The FAI have yet to come out with the "vote of confidence". And the longer Stan stays the greater the risk to Delaney in his position 6 year contract or not. You can be sure someone within the FAI covets Delaneys job. And with the public mood firmly against Delaney that someone might choose this moment to oust both Delaney and get rid of Stan.

THat is very true, People like Delaney are survivors and the best way to survive in the jungle is to kill and he will get rid of Staunton to protect himself.

**razor** · 18/10/2007, 3:34 PM

Rumours from the RTE sports department are that his departure will be announced on the 6 o'clock news.

**Mr A** · 18/10/2007, 3:39 PM

I agree with some of the posts above- for Delaney to survive he has to get rid of Stan. There's only one way that's going to end. Hopefully anyway.
