Don't think its been mentioned here yet but Harry Redknapp was named as a willing runner in the Indo. Thanks but no thanks on that one.

The EPL is a declining league becoming increasingly irrelevant on the world stage, I'd weep for our future if our next manager was from that leagues background, but then things look grim regardless looking at our player pool. Very hard to look at the future with any optimism, I think right now we're looking at the dying embers of a successful era of 24 years for Ireland, we're starring into oblivion right now.
Why? Stereotypical ignorant-sounding English geeza maybe, but a good manager by and large.Quote:

Fairy nuff I suppose.
He was discussed on R5's 606 show yesterday and the view was that he does nothing on the training pitch, he's more of a dressing room motivator. We need someone with a more holistic approach than that.Quote:

In an ideal world Jürgen Klopp. sigh.

I was thinking similarly on at the w/e.
My doubts would be over how the dressing room would take to a guy they don't know well, so choice of deputy would be important. No disrespect to any domestic coaches but my guess is that it'd need an ex-player with leadership quality, perhaps Carsley who has coaching credentials, to make sure the management team has the gravitas required to win the dressing room.
Carsley has been making all the right noises abut how the game should be played from what i've heard of him in interviews. He did cross my mind when thinking about a successer. Not sure he is such a big name so as to win they dressing room in that way. What is his contract situation with Coventry? Is he still caretaker manager?Quote:

I suppose Coyle is the most likely name due to his availablity. Reputations a bit tarnished after the Bolton job but I think he could do a job for us. He would definitley try and play the passing football we are all calling for.
David O'Leary
OR
John Sheridan
OR
Graeme Souness
OR
Alex McLeish
They took to Kerr alright when he took over, albeit he was more well-known and had worked with a number of the players. If he was appointed until the end of the campaign I think the squad would give him a chance.Quote:

i think Owen Coyle did as good a job as could be expected with the players he had available at Bolton. They had a lot of injuries last season and some of the old stagers had gone past their sell by date.
I would say that in the years that he was with Burnley/Bolton he had one bad season and a bad start to this one. It probably would have been better if he had quit at the end of last season but hindsight is a wonderful thing.
His next job will be a big test and he should be careful that he takes one that gives him a realistic chance of being successful. He should not jump in somewhere that some chairman promises to spend fortunes and then when your in the job the club turns out not to have two-happennies to rub together
Until last season in my opinion Owen Coyle was one of the most promising young managers about. One bad season shouldn't undo all that promise.
Slaven Bilic could be getting the boot soon, Emeri too.
Magath is class, but he wouldn't come here as he knows what the 'tards in the meeja will do (remember he's best buddies with Kevin Keegan). We'd be blessed to get anyone with ambition and quality. The usual names are going around and around.
Dave O'Leary - what's he ever done to gain such a high rep? Spend millions his club didn't have? Say the right things and make excuses - oh, and he's matey with media types and was a rebel under Charlton (so he gets the Dunphy vote).
John Sheridan - seriously, John Sheridan? Has anyone ever spent time with him? He was a very good player, but he's not a quality long term solution, or even short term. He's a loose cannon and won't get his own respect let alone the players - best story he told was of him in a darkened doorway with some girl, peed out of his head and being spotted by his manager telling him to go home and sobre up before the next day's game. Too many things for the meeja to kill him for, so they'd love him.
Redknapp - no, no and no again. He wouldn't take it and if he did, we might as well re-draw up the Act Of Union. Bojjox.
Roy Keane - haha, he'd be manna for the meeja, and has done nothing to get a job like this - Stan in disguise.
Graeme Souness - and who else is looking for him? Christ we're desperate, but he's meeja gold, so they'll love him.
Alex McLeish - more of Trap, a good manager, but would he even have the time to do it, and suffer the death threats?
It makes me proud to be Irish to see how many people are willing a loss to get the next sacrifice in office. We'll never get better as we'll never change, the problem is with football structures in Ireland and the flogging of young lads to England as soon as they're out of nappies, but that doesn't sell newspapers.
James ''jimmy'' hart (Hulk Hogans Manager) is more qualified to manage us then Roy Keane,
I'd like to see owen coyle, cant see anyone currently with a club going near us!
