All you can do is laff at the suggestions of people like Bruce, Aldridge, Venables. Particularily the latter two who haven't managed of their own accord in years. Maybe thats why we end up with the likes of Staunton, if we thik the solution is any big name from across the water.
This will probably drag on for a good while.

Venables is a spoofer of the worst kind and only has a reputation due to his pals in the media and the spin they put on his record.
As for Souness, are you for real????
We just had the same conversation in work and one of the lads a celtic fan suggested Souness, it is intersting to say the least. Oh imagine the reaction of the some Celtic fans :D :D :DQuote:

Jaysus, I'd take any of them over Staunton What a shambles.

I know I may be an old traditionalist but I'd like to think there should be minimum requirements for the job namely,
At least 5 year's experience being manager (not assistant) of a professional club or International Team
At least 1 season's experience managing at the top league in either England/Italy/France or Scotland or qualification or a World Cup
Anyone else need not bother applying and that includes
Aldridge
Bonner
Cunningham
Moran
Stapleton
Houghton
or anyone else from the school of ****ing rinky dink.
As for "we can't afford" it the Gerogian manager is Klaus Topmoller who managed Bayer Lverkusen to the Champions League final. I doubt he's there for the joy of living in Tbilisi and I bet Stan is paid more than him.
My God, are you my alter ego? My thoughts exactly. Except maybe being "blessed" against the Swiss.Quote:

Paul Jewell is the one on that list I would like to see get the job.
I am going to suggest Mourinho simply because when he left Chelsea he came out and said that he wanted to try something different for a while before possibly going back to manage in the Premiership again,
He has experience and he has won things and although some might say that he had the money at Chelsea, what he did with Porto was more than impressive
I think he would relish the challenge that would be put in front of him with this sort of job but the only problem is having been paid silly money by Roman Abramovic would he settle for the kind of wages he would get from the FAI
Read my post again...Quote:

Theres fcuk all available for the job, no one stands out to me. Do we wait for the fallout from the end of the qualifiers and see who becomes available?
It has to be a big name this time round. A name that will lift fans and players alike. We want the best yet the only suggestions I see are far from the best.
How about a whipround, everyone in the country give €2, that gives us €8million to offer Jose Mourinho :D :D
Interesting this morning bookies have suspended betting on Stan keeping his job and O'Leary is 2/1 favourite.
Roy Hodgson.
He’s qualified Switzerland for a World Cup and a European Championship.
He’s making a very respectable effort to get Finland into next summer’s tournament (in a group with Portugal, Serbia, Belgium and Poland).
He has seasons of managerial experience.
He speaks English
Could he be persuaded to drop the Finns for us?
good shout.Quote:

Coaching ability is important here - It's painfully obvious that this collection of players have not been coached into a cohesive international team with an identifiable game plan.
Anybody else see Hiddink interviewed after the England game? - it's a crying shame we didn't secure that chap for the job.
I doubt he walks around any towns other than Dundalk and up here he's just like anybody else, no one passes any remarks really. He's probably away out the Carrick road on the bike again today :D
Yes but he'll only read the first bit. By the way did anyone notice Kenny has the most bizarre bald patch at the front of his hair line. He needs Stephen Ireland's barberQuote:

And i read Hiddink was getting 5m a year off The russion fa(abramovich)
I agree, and I was hoping he'd get a look in after Kerr was given the shove and it became clear that we weren't actually getting anyone particularly good. Thing is, Delaney was 'too busy with paperwork' to consider his application, so we got the Walsall corner flag minder instead.Quote:

Id still be wary of going down the European manager route, i have visions of Bertie Vogts with Scotland
There's no getting away from it - we need to cough up the dough this time.Quote:

He's pretty good. He's well regarded in Italy too, so he's managed at the highest level.Quote:
