That's the sky sports website. SSN is a TV channel which would be about on par with the BBC website in terms of accuracy. ie. very accurate.Quote:

That's about all from the above article that can be associated with Sky Sports News.
looks like we are replacing Bobby and Stan with Giovanni and Liam.
well you dont expect me to tape ssn, throw it up to youtube, and link it?Quote:

How do you know they're "unsubstantiated rumours with no grain of truth or respectability"? When SSN say that Trapattoni is having talks about the Ireland job then you can be sure he is having talks about the Ireland job.Quote:

Just their past recording for making things up and saying them on air. for constantly being the only source for stories.Quote:

The difference is of course sometimes you can spot the fabricated bull**** and sometimes, like with trapattoni, its sounds semi realistic.
I just can't agree with that. It's on in my house regularly in the mornings and early afternoons so I've seen more than enough of it.Quote:

One man team my arse btw. He'd probably be gone from Barca if it wouldn't get Rijkaard the sack. I don't understand the reputation the channel has. I've never known it to get anything wrong that they claim as fact. The Houllier thing last week being the closest but they obviously got that from the FFF.
Maybe you're right and they're not as reliable as before though. I'm just overly biased towards the channel because of the reputation it has for being linked with the website and the rumour mill.
Thank you betfair mugs :DQuote:

And what did Paul Jewell ever win?? :confused:Quote:

The job has bi-passed Venables.
Totally bizzare betting on Trap on Betfair, a frenzied leap up to £155k in a couple of hours this afternoon then a deafening silence after 6pm.
promotion to the premier league twice. why?Quote:

One thing going for him is that formation. :) Keane would be the lone striker. Hunt the Camoranesi/Pereira. 2 or Duff/McGeady/Ireland would fill the other attacking spots. Carsley and Steven Reid in central midfield. Hunt would be required to get back when possession is lost but the other 3 attackers would usually stay up and wait for the break.
It wouldn't be the most beautiful football and would probably spend most matches sitting back for large portions but I'd say he'd give us as good a chance as anyone of getting to the world cup.
Maybe he'll get the assistant manager job.Quote:

I blush.
According to SPN at 12.15 tonight:
Trapattoni "close" to agreeing terms with FAI
Personally , i hope its true
Trappatoni eh?
Interesting.
Torn-Ado carresses beard gently in contemplation
Thats just the same story on loop. If you watch Sky Sports News long enough you go mad and turn into Jaimie Redknapp, it happened a mate of mine called Paul and he ended up losing passports and missing flights etcQuote:

(Michael Caine had 25k laid on him before anyone at Betfair realised he wasn't a real football manager, he just played one in "Escape to victory" , and promptly removed him.)
Rumours that Omar Troussier will be spotted having a slash outside break for the Border with John Delaney on Saturday night have been prepared, and will be released to the press for in time for the Sunday editions.
Paddy Power meanwhile, will be too busy rolling on his lovely piles of punters money to notice.
The two ex-leading contenders for the Irish job, are back in club football, haven't won a game between them as yet, are bottom two in the EPL, and were knocked out of the cup by lower league sides.Quote:

He'd be a great appointment.
Anybody hear Hunter on newstalk this morning ? He reckons there is something to the story but his sources tell him that it is nowhere near as advanced as Sky are indicating.
He also says trhat the 3 wise men have literally scoured the globe on this search - he made passing and cryptic reference to a schism between the 3 wise men - he mentioned Givens and Howe and that "...one of the team has a strong preference for Venables....."
It's like joining dots...
Hmmm a bit indifferent to Trappatoni...on the plus side I think he'd definitely have us keeping clean sheets but sure didn't Brian Kerr do that anyway? There is the niggling feeling though, as another poster pointed out, that this could be a Bertie Vogts-esque appointment which could end in disaster.
Having said that he's by far and away the most qualified of anyone that has previously been mentioned and a definite viable alternative to Venebles.
Money a problem though? will he have to be bought out of a contract?
Do you think Trapp is only interested because we have Italy in out group?
Emmet Malone had a chat with Givens and the whole Trapattoni SSN speculation have been rubbished
No Trap talks
I've heard he's the new favourite, but how many are we going to have?" he said. "When I see that story (Sky were reporting that the former Milan, Inter and Juventus boss was 'in talks with the FAI' about taking the job) I find it absolutely amazing because we haven't spoken to Trapattoni and I find it rather hard to believe that the FAI are going behind our backs."
Or could the FAI have gone behind the panels back? :eek:

Hunter stated that Trappatoni's recommendation to the FAI would not be unanimously put forward by the 3 man interview committee because Don Howe is sticking by "close associate", (as Hunter called him) - Terry Venebles.
The (much maligned here) Don Givens is actively looking at alternatives to Vennebles which is leading to friction between Howe and Givens.
Hunter made reference to the panel spreading the net across Europe for a manager and that a few ambitious approaches have been declined.
Hunter was not at liberty to reveal his source of information on all of this.
can we boot Don Howe off the panel? :)
yeah and correct me if I'm wrong here but isn't Hunter full of sh*te?
Hunter is a tool of the highest order.
My Italian mate at work (a young lad, mid 20s) is an Inter fan and says Trappatoni is not the man to manage star players but is the man to get average players/ teams playing better.
He is renowned for being conservative as stated by many above.
That said, my mate had never even heard of Liam Brady!
Interesting development. The reality is that motivation and proper organisation will improve this team and I'm sure a guy with Trappatoni's experience can bring this, conservative or not.
I think Given's statement holds more weight in this matter and there is no interesting development.
It's hardly rocket science for Hunter to claim that 3 football people would have a difference of opinion on a candidate, isn't that sort of thing normal.
Schism rocks Foot.ie shocker.
Don't tell me, this isn't Alan Hunter, self appointed spokesperson for Republic of Ireland supporters. And here was me thinking (hoping) it was the English journalist.
