View Full Version : Who would you like to see replace McCarthy?
What about Terry Venables, when he gets sacked by Leeds. More than likely he´ll be out of a job by spring, I think he´d be an excellent man for the job.

Went for Venables as the best of those listed. Brian Kerr could do well but I don't know if he'd be interested in the senior job.
I reckon Venables could do a great job. Think about it- he´s probably the best England manager since Bobby Robson (if not better) and he did a fairly good job with Australia, leaving a god set up for the guy who came after him. Kerr´s an excellent manager at underage level, dunno if he´d make the step up- and anyway, maybe better to have him where he is.

not sure if we could get Venables in time to restore confidence, etc. in team. We'd hardly be able to afford to pay off his contract to get him sooner.
wait til he gets sacked by leeds, than offer him the job- should available before summer I reckon.

As said in the other thread, could we afford him?

Hodgson is a hero in Switzerland and was a disaster at Blackburn, so that doesn´t exactly sway me either way.
Toshack is regarded as Mister Fix-it in Spain- dunno where he is now but I wouldn´t be a huge admirer of his.
Maybe Eriksson will resign when the Ulrika book comes out and we can get him on the cheap :)

I voted Keane for the laugh...
... Mainly cause i believe he is the only person that would say....
... "Kilbane, you're ****e, you'll never see this squad again"...
But seriously i don't think Keane could take a managerial job for now.

That would be an unnecessary, but typical kind of action from Keane. When will people get it into there heads that we don´t have 11 superstars, we´re a small country with a slightly better than average squad, and we happen to have 2 or 3 fantastic players- we can´t expect every player in the squad to be as good as duff!

robbie keane
roy keane
makes no sense with such a small pick of quality players not to have one of the best midfielders in the world not playing for us
whatever the faults and arguements from either side
if we want the irish team to do as well as possible roy keane must be a part of the irish team

If Brian Kerr took over the senior post the underage set up would go to the dogs.

Joe Kinnear is the man for the job.
Dont know why everybody is voting for Brian Kerr. In fairness the job he has done for the underage setup has been incredible, but he has no experience with senior pro's and he probably would not be the right choice.
Kinnear is a proven man manager at all levels and would love the job, he would be the best man to get to spirit back in the squad which is what the irish team thrive on. The sooner McCarthy goes the better.

I have to admit that I voted for O'Leary, mainly because U think he's the man most likely to land the job. He'd have to have learned from his mistakes at Leeds, otherwise we'll just find ourselves back at square one.
Murphy Out Now!!!
McCarthy Out Now!!!
I want the job! I do really need the money and I would be much better than O'Leary even if I don't have any experience whatsoever :0)

He's more worried about his reputation, his image and his shady business dealings than the actual results of the team. I know a Palace supporter who has nothing but criticism for the man.
Some even say Vegetables has a knack for dropping black players wherever he goes...

Realistically I can only see Brian Kerr take over in the immediate future - if the FAI have to pay out big to McCarthy they are hardly going to pay out big to a higher profile manager. I like the prospect of seeing Kerr in charge, but it is a gamble. As much as I don't like McCarthy and can't wait to see the back of him, his departure will only serve to increase the woes of Irish football rather than provide the solution.
Ideally Kerr could be the stop-gap measure which sees Keane take over in 2 to 3 years time and Kerr can return to the underage setup.

Nothing ideal about that at all! Why the hell are people talking about Keane as manager? He has no track-record, and no experience- precisely what many of mccarthy´s critics were always complaining about. If he does become a manager and shows that he is good, then a future vacancy may be his for tha taking. We´ve suffered enough with a guy learning on the job already.

I think that a Kinnear/Kerr partnership would be quite good.
However, I think an interesting candidate for the job would be Liam Brady.
I don't know if he would be interested though.
toshack .. mentioned on this thread by me

How do you reckon? At least he's vastly experienced and has a long and successful track record with some really big clubs. IMO he'd do a very good job for us if we could afford him that is.

Toshack is a waste of space, he chickened out of the Welsh job after, what was it 1 or 2 games in charge.
The Boy Tosser (Roy Keane) does not have the experience and I would refuse to attend a match if that F**King TRAITOR beame the manager. :mad:
Liam Brady could not handle the pressure of the big job, look at his track record with Celtic enough said.
Joe Kinnear has a dodgy ticker. :D
Brian Kerr is better off at youth level, he has done a fantistic job at bringing through the Duffs and Robbies, etc. I don't think he could handle the pressure of the senior team.
And now for the killer punch
What about BIG PHIL, he has got a track record and he is a winner with Brazil, and he is currently unemployed.
SCOLARI for the COACH
That would tick off the Cork/Man.Utd gobsh**e, he would have to learn Portuguese!!!!!

Why the hell would we wait for Venables to be sacked from Leeds and then appoint him as Ireland manager. . . it just shows the mentality of some of the people on this forum that we would hire a manager that was SACKED by his club for not doing his job properly after one season.

venables is in a no-win situation at leeds. he has to sell players and improve results! never gonna happen.
Anyways, I can´t believe Toshack- what has he ever done. Really like. Yeah he´s had a few big jobs in Spain, but he seems to be the guy the likes of Real etc hire in between big managers. He´s a stopgap that´s cheap to sack.

What Tosh
For those of you unfortunate enough to miss out on John Toshack last night on TV3, here’s an extract from the post-match analysis of Newcastle United v Dynamo Kiev in which he pondered the merits of El Kaddouri’s performance:
"There aren’t too many coloured players in Russia, and, on this lad’s showing, there won't be many more."
Mediawatch doesn’t quite know where to begin with John‘s words of wisdom, so here are a few points in no particular order:
- Kiev is the capital of Ukraine and therefore not in Russia.
- “Coloured”?
- Are we right in assuming from his analysis that Toshack believes that because all ‘coloured’ players are ‘coloured’, they must all play to the same level?
- What are the odds on the words ‘Toshack’ and ‘Stone Age’ appearing in a Daily Express headline any time soon?

Alright smart ass, the remark was on the spur, and I have a right to my opinion, and as you probably can gather I am anti Roy, because he let his country down.:mad: Mick McCarthy did not let his country down.
Let me throw a question in your direction.
Republic of Ireland games are the only matches that I attend regularly, I have missed only 8 of the last 26 matches (starting with the 2-2 against Holland). 7 of those were friendlies, the only competitive game was the away match with Iran. I have been to somewhere in the region of 100 games home and away, considering that Dublin is an "away" game for me, as I live in London at the moment.
I enjoyed Japan & Korea. I thought the boys done well. It made me really proud to be Irish in the Far East.
And Finally the question is.....
How many games have you attended over the last 15 / 20 years
I can produce all my match stubs

YEAH AGREED, if having been to every match was a precondition for being a 'true' Irish fan, we'd have a total of about 10,000 supporters. Ur some l@nger DAXION

This is bullsh*t arguement but I'll play along......
Basically this "I go more matches than you so I'm a better fan" rubbish is simply an arguement of finances. All that proves how much more money than me you have!!!! You admit you don't attend club football, so that's already several thousand saved over a season to put towards international matches....
Whoppee do - you go 7 or 8 matches a year, so that obviously means that you know more than me who on has been known to watch more matches than that live in a month, and it sure as hell gives you more right to express an opinion.
For the record I have been to every home match in the last 3.5 years since I moved home bar Portugal, Holland and Iran (as I couldn't get tickets for those games thanks to the corporates).... I'm only 26, so take out the school and college years when I was skint, you're basically left with the time since I left education which is....... the last 3.5years!
