FAI claim mutual consent

STAUNTON STEPS DOWN AS IRELAND MANAGER



The Football Association of Ireland and senior international team manager Stephen Staunton have agreed by mutual consent to terminate his contract following a meeting in Dublin today.



FAI President David Blood thanked Stephen Staunton and his management team for their dedication and commitment to the senior international team since their appointment in January 2006.



“They have brought through many young players and leave behind a squad with strong development potential,” said the President.



“As a member of the three man committee which made the recommendation to appoint Stephen and his team, I am disappointed that things have not worked out the way I, Stephen or my colleagues on the Board expected.”



The FAI Board will now seek to appoint an outside advisor from within the football industry to assist them in the recruitment of a successor.



The Board will select people, with considerable football experience in the professional game, to appoint the new manager.

Was only having a sly poke - FAI press release for the first part, press conference for second part

Tony O'Donoghue said today that if the FAI try to claim mutual consent or anything like that he'd laugh at them.

Maybe invest in a coat? Hmmmmm?

Who cares? It's over. Now we move one. Looks like O'Leary I'd say but, this morning, Brady threw his hat into the arena by saying he'd conside it if offered the post, however it was unlikely that that offer would ever happen.
