Graham Hunter it was but he has a trick of seeming like he has an exclusive on something but talking about it in such a round about way and having so many caveats in it that he is actually not saying very much. As someone pointed out the sources are that Trappatoni is probably interested. The 3 man panel have probably not interviewed him.
Just heard that Michael O Leary paid a flying visit to the FAI this morning and they have interviewed him for the job!! Get on Paddy Powers now!!!!
the FAI will be broke paying for bags on away tripsQuote:

just got a mail on this issue.
I spoke to a mate of his(Trappatoni) last night, 10.30pm, and at that point there had been no contact at all with FAI. Trappatoni has been in Dubai all week but is back now. The Italian I spoke to knows everybody and is a great source. He said: "You Irish love gambling and bookies love money."
So another great non-event!
And the person who emailed you works for the organisation that started publicising the story.
I would be concerned about his age
dalglish is gona b new manager
Wouldn't be surprised if he's appointed. Salzburg are doing bad in the league, they bought their way to success last year. Will probably bin him and get someone else, they have the cash. Wouldn't fancy him as manager of Ireland though.
Ya Think? :confused:Quote:

All this manager business is a load of cojones. Wake me up when they actually appoint someone and the person they appoint accepts. It's beyond a joke now. Who next? George Dubya Bush?:rolleyes:
It's on the Salzburg forum also, but started by an Irish person, the fans don't seem to bothered if he leaves. Too Defensive it seems. http://www.redbullsalzburg-board.com...howtopic=15277

Curious
"I admire the imagination of certain managers. Two weeks ago, I was being linked with Africa, last week it was in England and now we are talking to Ireland," Trapattoni told the APA news agency.
"I'm curious to see where I will be next week."
It was reported on Tuesday that Trapattoni was in contact with the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) with a view to succeeding Steve Staunton who was sacked after failing to take the team to the Euro 2008 finals.
Experience
The 68-year-old has a wealth of experience and has coached clubs including AC Milan, Internazionale, Fiorentina, Juventus, Bayern Munich and Benfica.
He was also in charge of the Italian national team between 2000 and 2004.

I think we'd all agree with that.Quote:

SSN have now destroyed their reputation with me. :D
I really thought we were going to get him......I must have texted 20 people when the news was breaking yesterday evening and now I look like a right idiot. Thanks SSN! I thought we'd be able to banish El Tel from our memories. Instead the nightmare approaches ever closer.
did i win the internet then?
He is back into fav at 15/8 PP.
The one thing we can learn here is that the bookies is no way any guide of who is going to get the job. The bookies are playing with the market and they are playing all sorts of games with this.
Latest post on Wikipedia:
"30th January 2008, Trapattoni was heavily linked to the vacant Republic of Ireland Managerial position. This suggestion was dismissed by the FAI selection panel as attempts to manipulate betting markets which he himself has confirmed "
Just been told that there was something on RTE news about Trappatoni getting the job.
Listening to RTE news all morning. Nothing of the sort said on any news. PK talked about exactly what's been mentioned here ...which is bookies stoking the market.
Ok no problem, some guy in work said that it was on the Pat Kenny show
but sure of course it is. lads ye'd swear this is a revelation. That is what bookies do the whole time, who do you realistically sets the "favourites tag"?!
The RTE sports report started with scoop like sensation, 'from a reliable source - it's Trapattoni with Liam Brady' and talked about it
only after a listener emailed in 'not another scam' did the presenter concede that the scoop only has a questionable rumour value.
Dimwits
Fout times so far RTE have jumped the gun with no more info than the average punter. Paddy Power's are putting in marble counter tops in all branches with Italian leather sofas for punters to lounge in as they lose their ****** on another 'dream team' punt.Quote:

Did you post the wrong link Neil?
Another Trap close source
'but well-placed sources have confirmed he is ‘very close’ to inking a three-year deal to take the Republic of Ireland up to, and beyond, the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa'
'I understand Trapattoni has already had “positive” conversations with at least one leading figure involved in the recruitment bid.'
I take that back. The pressure got to me. ;)Quote:

Hopefully Givens walks:
"When I see that story I find it absolutely amazing. We haven't spoken to Trapattoni and I find it rather hard to believe the FAI are going behind our backs,"
Ah well if the Sun say it , its as good as done
I'm guessing they have the same source as everyone else. Most of the papers are a lot more conservative though. :)Quote:
