    It's a Joycean take on the thread here really.

    Except, ironically, in fewer words.

    "jocular men with the stammering unction of a Fianna Fáil TD" is definitely my favourite turn of phrase this week.

    The article is great, but there's a serious point to it as well. Which is that "Mark with a C" Canham is now a joke figure who has lost all credibility and nothing he ever says within Irish football will be taken seriously again. He'll have to go once all this is finally concluded, if not before.

    How good an appointment would we need for all to be forgiven and trust to be restored? Are we talking Carsley, Barry or are we talking Klopp?

    Not sure if this is accurate, but hearing the hold up is FAI investigating, purchasing , and implementing AI. This is the same source who told me (correctly) that Declan Rice still sleeps in Bunny pajamas, so take it for what its worth:

    My source: (Translated from Mandarin):

    "A few weeks ago, the FAI were having a tickle session to relive tension, and a few glasses of brandy afterwards. They slowly came to a conclusion...why hire a human manager at all? Ireland will change the game with an AI manager, able to compute every possibility in a manner of milliseconds. It can communicate with the players, foresee strategy based on a combination of the great managers in history, predict injuries, and order lunch....

    ...It is a flawless idea. Post game pressers of the reporters scuffling with what is essentially a computer program will be must watch TV the world over, and oh, it can never ask for a raise, requires no health benefits and will never leave for a better job. Now, the one big issue, which could cause mass panic is (redacted)"

    I am actually excited about this. I think it's a great idea.

    The site can get legal grief if people post that. A quick google should sort you out.

    Four minutes of nothing from Canham this afternoon replying to pre-agreed questions with rehearsed answers. Kilbane had this guy down to a tee - fake it until you make it. You can't believe a word he says, even when he's basically saying nothing. He's completely discredited now.

    no longer any kind of deadline set - 'hopefully' by september. JOSH likely to continue as interim coach, but not yet confirmed.

    Willing to go 8 months without a manager and just send that manager into the NL with no preparation

    Really making the job appealing to a new manager aren't they...

    At this point they might aswell just give the job to John and accept they made a balls of the whole process. At least with John there's a chance we go into the NL with some preparation with him having 4 friendlies to prepare the side, we arent going to get a good option at this point. Just go with John, get rid of Canham and hopefully if we find ourselves in this position again we dont make the same mistakes.

    I can't believe he went public with that statement/interview/whatever it was without even having O'Shea confirmed for June. No reference to his blatant lie about contractual obligations last month, nothing but fluff. Absolutely nothing. He has to go surely?!

    Wait, what?!

    That's so outrageous I'm tempted to report you for trolling!

    If we assume the dogs in the street knew Kenny was gone before his contract ended, then we'll be a year without a manager.

    No prep for a tough Nations League group - surely relegation favourites?

    How long will the CEO search take?! (On second thoughts, based on recent years maybe we should experiment with not having one...)

    Friendly room / environment.
    Friendly interviewer.
    Given the scale of this blunder, friendly questions.

    He needs to face the pack of journalistic wolves he's made clowns of for half a year who couldn't find the new guy to tell us about because there wasn't one. Despite him saying there was and even giving an announcement window. I guess that won't be happening either.

    Well scripted it was.

    I enjoy how he bandies out three reasons why we can't secure a manager. None of them to do with his ineptitude, all the while other nations are well able to get someone in place.

    On top of that, there was suspicion from the outside (fans) that we were desperate and a shambles - and prospective managers may have had the same and probably had it confirmed during their engagements (probably Carsley...). He has now basically admitted all of this.

    So, he has to go. He can't possibly survive this.
