What about Milutinovic?
You have got to be joking?! Let me just say I support Stan. Always have, but if he goes it has to be a top manager who replaces him.Quote:

There is absolutely NO POINT in even suggesting anyone from the same level if Stan goes....
It has to be a manager from the top rung or it will not work. Its a no-brainer. The media and so called fans will mutilate anyone who is not top-brass... Maybe Souness...?
surely a wind up?? What has Souness done to elevate his status to "the top rung"? Bizarre.Quote:

Agree 100% about Hodgson. He's an excellent coach and would be my number 1 choice too. I also think he would jump at the opportunity to manage IrelandQuote:

WUM?? Stan in same bracket as McCarthy? Souness in higher bracket than McCarthy? You must be having a laughQuote:

Luton Shelton, Darren Byfield, etc., etc., etc., in England and I don't think any of them are playing. Even then that is partly the coaches responsibility to get those players in
I would go for Mourhinho. Its not like he needs the money? It would be handy two years for him getting us to the WC and then he can go back to England and manage a proper team. Its not like he likes good footballers anyway so our lack of same wont bother him. He wont be afraid to stand up to underperforming senior players / FAI. His ego might like the idea of turning Ireland around and doing well at the WC finals. Jose is made to manage Ireland!
Someone World Class from Delaney.... McAteer.
The really sad thing is , not even this scenario would surprise me.BTW , Stan on the second rung???? bloody short ladder!Quote:

I actually love that about our country .. our sense of our own importance. Similar to the debate about Hiddink or O'Neill last time round.Quote:

Ireland are not Brazil or Italy. What we are though is a country that should be competing for qualification for tournaments, in the same way Poland and Russia and all the other second/third tier teams do.
Who was the German manager of Greece when they won the Euro's? Was that Beenhakker? I've the bloody memory of a goldfish....
I'm surely only repeating the obvious when I say the salary for managing the Irish senior team isn't unattractive by international football standards. Sure it isn't what the English pay for all the bull that goes with managing their team but the chap who's Czech side had no difficulty dispatching us a couple of weeks back is reputedly on half of what Stan gets. Lawrie Sanchez was on a third of it.
On what criteria do you base that statement?Quote:

Didn't think I had to spell it out but there was no way in hell that Martin O'Neill was going to take the Irish job at this stage of his career after the success at Celtic .. and there was no way that Hiddink was going to take the Irish job either. Same as Roy Keane is not going to take the Irish job anytime soon.Quote:

Stating the obvious of course. Not putting us down, but trying to be realistic. Agree that we should be looking for a world class candidate from the realistic choices available to us.
anyway, fairly pointless debate as Stan is going to be manager at the end of this campaign
Troussier is a poor manager. He should have done better with Japan in 2002, and hasn't done much since.Quote:
