Arie Haan

[Ireland4ever]

Haan-g on a minute. I thought Andy Reid had a haan-dle on that problem.

No, its a constant battle for him to rid himself of his love haan-dles!

[youngirish]

He claims to have a special trick to motivate the players at half time and get them up for the second half, he gives them all haand shaandies in the changing rooms.

[tetsujin1979]

Would you be able to record it and post up the link? Please.
If I can, I will. Depends on if I'm home when the interview is on.

[Serb]

Thanks, you're a gentlemHann.

[blobbyblob]

I believe that its starting when the big Haan-d is at 3 and the little Haan-d is just gone 7.

[blobbyblob]

Id give him the job simply on the basis that hes good for chant material.

1) Haans up, baby, haans up...

2) Haans up for the Boys in Green

3) Arie all very quiet over there...

4) Haans that do dishes are as soft as your face, with mild green 'Arie liquid (theres a joke in there too)

[citizenerased]

if your happy in your nappy clap for haan, clap for haan

Haan by him, oh baby haan by him...



heard him on the radio seems like a true gentle-haan

[paul_oshea]

Would you be able to record it and post up the link? Please.

I heard his RTE interview again, he is very fluent in English just with a heavy Dutch accent.
He believes he can retrieve (from the ashes) the remnants of what he admires about our team and apply some some Dutch technique to our play.
I´d advise him to keep it very simple for the Dublin lads.

Ya exactly geysir, his fluent english might confuse them ;)

BTW where is the interview with him on rte. post the link please.

Arie Haan, if you are reading this please contact your boss
From finding old friends that you have lost contact with to meeting the mate of your dreams, this little thing called the Internet has a power to bring people together. Today, we are hoping that we can help reunite manager Arie Haan with the country whose national team he is supposedly managing. The good folks who run Cameroon’s football association haven’t heard from Haan in two months and they are a bit concerned.

“It’s two months since Mr Haan left the country,” FECAFOOT general Mmnager Jean Lambert Nang told a news conference.

“I don’t know where Mr Haan is. The last time I got in touch with him was on the Internet. Since I’ve tried to contact him in vain … Nobody in FECAFOOT knows where he is,” Nang said.

Arie. Please, do us all a favor and give your boss a call or get in touch with him on the Internet so he can stop worrying about your welfare

God speed to you, Arie, and thanks for reading...

[greendeiseboy]

ah so he's a flying dutchman

[Kramer]

............:D

[Flawless]

He gets my vote, anyone who leads a side that sickens england at a major finals (U-21 Euros) is good for me!!!

what the point in posting the cameroon fa spin???
they sound worst than our lot

real story
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/africa/6324519.stm


"Everybody at the federation is interfering especially the president, therefore there is no need for me to stay on. The Dutchman was unhappy about next Wednesday's friendly against Togo, which he said was organised without his knowledge.
"They did not respect my wishes for the friendly against Togo as all the preparations were done without my approval," Haan said.
"I should be organising the matches for the national team not the federation.
Haan was also furious over his exclusion from the central African country's delegation for the African Youth Championship in Congo.
"I wanted to go to the Africa under-20 tournament in Congo to monitor some of the young players for the national team but they refused.

[geysir]

BTW where is the interview with him on rte. post the link please.
I just heard it live on (sat) radio.
Check the RTE site for the 11am sports report.

[Spider Baby]

Is that not a different Haan, as in Foppe De...??

[Flawless]

Apologies, mixed my left from right Haan!! (couldnt resist!!)

[Spider Baby]

If he gets the job it could be 4 years or so of this!!!!

MEOW! Eekers loves the Haan man

[Flawless]

I know, the thoughts of it, as someone else pointed out too, Mario Rosenstock and Co would have a field day, im expectoing soething on today fm in the morning!!:)

[geysir]

Is BEBO closed down today?

[beautifulrock]

Lds the first few were funny butthis was posted as a serious attempt to highlight what could be the best option we have by miles. Can we get this back on topic and discuss the merits or otherwise of Mr Haan

[Flawless]

Is BEBO closed down today?

Why, because people decide to lighten the board up a little?

Anyway, back on topic, he does have serious credentials, the best of a bad lot so far, If only Foppe De Haan didnt want to leave Holland, then he would be even more ideal (http://goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=495189).

I think the Dutch technical game incorporated with what we got could realy be good.

[livehead1]

Yawn Yawn Yawn the 'jokes' are cr*p. Is this the person we want in charge of us or not?

One thing I would say in regard to the Cameroon situation. How many problems to various African countries seem to have with their coaches. They get through them almost monthly, especially European ones. It seems they are unwilling to give some of them the respect and credit they deserve.

Does anyone know what time roughly?

[Stuttgart88]

How many times can the same silly pun be recycled? I'm with the cranks on this one.

[paul_oshea]

stutts you are right its getting out of hann....has that one been used already? I am with the cranks too though in all seriousness.

BTW is offtheball on at 10.30 or is it the 7.30 slot around john giles?

[Stuttgart88]

I did a google search to check up on Mark Mullan, Haan's agent. I didn't find much but his contact details are here. I'm not convinced by Haan but he should be interviewed.

[paul_oshea]

where does osasuran live again?! :D

[tricky_colour]

Well if he gets the job no doubt in a few months
time the Irish fans will be asking for a hand out.

[tricky_colour]

Apparently Max Bygraves is on the selection commitee and he was the one who suggested you need hands :D

Which actually be a good song for the fans to sing if he got the job.

[NeilMcD]

As long as its not Michael Mc Mullan. Knob head on Today FM

[btid1]

He's not as bad as that other tosser Paul "I try and say every second word in Irish" Collins!!

[gustavo]

idiots both.

Anyway can we cut out the Haan related puns , side splittingly hilarious and all that they were , and concentrate on the pro's and cons of his candidature.

[Noelys Guitar]

He got a team to the Eufa cup final (like MON). He got a team to the European cup semi-final (like O'Leary). Was a top player. Has managed in different countries so knows the types of players and systems we will be playing against.

[geysir]

The Venables lackey is back :) Have you no shame?

Whatever you do Noely, don´t put a curse on Haan by sticking a tenner on him at 66/1.

Not this time Geysir. No Bet So as not to ruin Haan's chances. I used to live in Holland and Haan is widely respected there as a top coach. If Delaney called up Hiddink for advice I'm sure Haan's name would be near the top of his list.

Whats this League of Orrland? I love the premiership!. C0ck.

[geysir]

I asked a few Dutch mates about him and basically they would rate him higher than Hodgson. Apparantly he is a perfectionist with tactics, technique and motivation and has a sense of humour. Manager date line CV :)

interesting. but why's he never managed holland? because of politics maybe?

[stojkovic]

interesting. but why's he never managed holland?

Michels, Beenhakker, Hiddink, van Gaal, Advocaat and Rijkaard.

Is that enough reasons for ya.

They are spoilt for choice.

[Rebel11]

That was funny, The only player he knew was Robbie, he siad he would build the hole team around him. God Help Us if he gets it

[tetsujin1979]

Arie Haan being interviewed on Off The Ball: http://media.putfile.com/Arie-Haan-Interview-On-Off-The-Ball
Sound is a but choppy in places, my internet connection is inconsistent lately

[eekers]

build a team around the only player he knows :rolleyes:

[geysir]

It played okay Tets, thanks a lot.

He hasn´t seen us since 2002 so who has? unless they were paid to do so.
Said something about holding onto the old players too long then you have a problem with the new players.
He wouldn´t be afraid to pull the plug.

I´d say he would have to do a good interview in order to be taken seriously

[Noelys Guitar]

I doubt Rehhagel knew too many Greek players when he took over Greece. And as Ken Early said. First training seesion don't care what your name is. Show me what you can do.

[Bondvillain]

It's only one interview and a bit of net searching, but I like the vibe off this guy.

Sadly, I fear the next we hear from him will be in a Newstalk "where did they go wrong?" vox-pop interview after Venables mucks up his first game in charge of Ireland (a hastily arranged friendly against a Singapore XI, played in Liechtenstein for tax purposes - 3-0 to Singapore), having skipped a weeks training to finish shooting "Celebrity place in the sun" for Sky Living 3 +1.

[gustavo]

Yeah God help us if Robbie ever got regular decent support
