Why not info@fai.ie. A few hundred emails to John.
Can we start the Venables for Scotland campaign?
Leak a load of Venables rumours to the Daily Record,the Scotman etc
Maybe this is a clever ploy by the FAI. Leak and spin to the effect that TV is the leading candidate whilst meeting and approaching the likes of Hodgson and Houllier out of the glare of the media:rolleyes:
I can't believe they are probably going to appoint a manger who has achieved nothing of note over the last 20 years when there are possible candidates such as Hodgson and Houllier available. I am sick of reading how well TV did with England in 1996. Aside from the Dutch match they were average and were lucky to beat Spain in the quarters. Reaching the semi's was the least to be expected from them given they were the hosts.
Personally, I think that Pat Butcher's storylines in Eastenders have lacked that "cheeky cockney" element since the untimely passing of Mike Reid, who played her onscreen on-off love interest Frank, and could only be boosted by the introduction of another permatanned cockney wide boy who wasnt good at his job, but was nevva seen wivout a cheeky grin, an eye for the ladies, a propensity to burst in to song for comedy value, and a tendancy to bugger off to Spain when the heat was on.
Venables for Walford.
Houillier isnt available, he has a brand new job with the French Federation and isnt unlikely to leave it even for silly money
The only TV that should be considered for the Ireland job is Shirley Temple-Bar.
Thye are talking about the FAI meeting now
who are.
It was Liam Macey!! He was all for Venables really. No mention of here though:(
Pressed the wrong vote there. I meant a no rather than a yes vote. On the basis that Venables will not qualify us for 2010. And he is not going to get the job anyway.
Davids was sent home in Euro 96 for giving Hiddink(his manager) some grief in a radio interview. Think he said something along the lines of "will he ever take his head out of the players asses". As it happens they patched up their differences without the the need for Tommy Gorman and Davids was probably Hollands best player in France 98.
Voted against Venables getting the job. For all the obvious reasons that have already been posted. I have just read Hyland's "piece" in the Herald this evening. Let me just say that even if we are "Internet Forum Junkies", at least we can discuss and agree on on thing, WE DO NOT WANT EL TELL!!!!:mad:
