Lawrie Sanchez

[Drumcondra 69er]

There is a big difference between being #1 and being #2. I don't think the #2 position suited him with England, he undermined McClaren to a certain extent. He is a good coach with a good record, he will be able to deal with our media quite easily and he'll be able to deal with the FAI. I think the Ireland job is perfect for his ego, he is a pefect match in many ways, baggage notwithstanding.

Think this is the wrong thread for talk about TV but have you actually looked at his results with his last 4 management jobs (not to mention his spell on the board at Portsmouth)? People don't generally give a toss about his bagage, they don't want him because he's been a rubbish manager for the last decade plus....

Looks like Sanchez has interviewed very well - trading at 7/2 third favourite for the job tonight.:eek::eek::eek:

Sanchez - no!

He may interview very well but he's a long ball merchant who won't utilise our skilfull players and will take us backwards.

I think Sanchez would be a disaster.

If it's not Houllier, I'm rooting for Venables or Hoddle, Allardyce or even Brady or Dalglish! Any of them would be preferable to Sanchez.

Probably EG gambling his retirement fund.

Who would have believed it, the Bookies must have had a convention last night, after exhausting the list of candidates over the past weeks it was decided that nobody would fall for another Giles is gonna do it rumour or Bradys got it in the bag, so they thought - how about Lawrie - there must be some people (besides Lawrie) who thinks he has a chance.
