Stephen Kenny

[geysir]

It's not alleged, Kenny used it quite clearly in a discussion with fans last week

I didn't listen to the interview, I put alleged in brackets, did Kenny state why Redmond wasn't eligible?

No big deal as obviously Redmond wasn't interested in Ireland at a time when he thought he was eligible, and no big deal what Mick didn't know when Redmond's agent was contacted.

Just don’t show the FA too much respect along the way is my point. Check in often, make promises, show 1916 videos... etc etc

We could always beg if all else fails I suppose !

Kenny out

I've seen enough.

[Colbert Report]

The FAI don't have any money so we're stuck with this joker for the full length of his contract.

[NeverFeltBetter]

And with the money situation in mind, who would they get anyway?

And what players does he put out?

How about we start by playing our most experienced players, like McClean, Hendrick, Duffy, Brady, etc.? No wonder David McGoldrick retired and Damien Duff quit.

[John83]

I think he might walk away. Especially if he loses to Qatar and Portugal, which is more likely than not.

No, I don't buy that. Duffy's form has collapsed. McClean, Hendrick and Brady haven't shown too much when they've been called on either. We need to bring new players through. Everyone here was delighted when they saw the team in Serbia precisely because those three were dropped. So I think we need some balance one way or another there really.

[Trequartista20]

Pathetic. The worst result Irish football history. I'm disgusted.

Kenny needs to go.

I think that’s the least valid criticism of all. Arguably he played it safe by using them from the bench. In both games he brought on those experienced players and for the most part in both games we got worse. There’s a lot to criticise Kenny for but those players proved they didn’t deserve to be starting when they came on.

[Colbert Report]

This is shocking stuff. Still a long way to go? Is this guy trying to wind us up?

"after playing brilliantly in Serbia"

Can you imagine Roy saying that about a lost match...

[Trequartista20]

It's now plain for all to see that Kenny needs to go, but who should be his successor given the bankrupt FAI's limited funds?

There's no easy solution to all of this

[Trequartista20]

I hear Chris Coleman's name being mentioned as an eventual replacement.

Wouldn't be the worst appointment. At least he's played and managed at the highest level.
