But who says they have to pay him 3 to 4 million a year. Its all just speculation.
One word: Bonus.
All the FAI have to do is promise some princely sums if they hit certain milestones, which they'll be covered with assuming they hit them; World Cup qualification, qualification to knock out rounds etc..
Exactly. Pay him a huge amount IF we qualify. A simple incentive.Quote:

Have to say I was a bit ****ed off with Richard Dunne saying he'd prefer El Tel to Trap. Doesn't say much about the players attitude if that's their thinking. Surely they should be looking forward to working with such an experienced and successful manager.
"Ah, but we're different, aren't we??" You have to make allowances for that. :DQuote:

That's the problem with this interview process. Informed speculation has been replaced with chinese whispers.Quote:

What he said was (When he was cornered by a journalist at an awards ceremony and pushed for an immediate answer ) was that he would have a preference for someone like Venables, someone who was available right now and had no precieved communication barriers. That wasn't a ringing endorsement of Venables, it was a simplistic overview from a man who clearly, for whatever reason, is fed up with the FAI's fumbling on the matter.
And in fairness, he may just have access to more information on how the process is proceeding than anyone here does...
Dunne said he thought an English speaking manager would integrate a lot quicker, not that he preferred Venables to TrappatoniQuote:

Look at the highlights below, 2, 3 and 4 Celtic players in the box or running in to the box, when was the last time you saw Irish midfielders going forward like that?Quote:

Utter class today from Aideninho... Wit a player!
Think they took it down for a while but it's back now.Quote:

I wouldn't think so; Hiddenk at Russia apparently has a number of bonuses to claim, pending success at Russia. It's a fair enough incentive for any manager to succeed, rather than simply "punch the clock" and claim a set wage.Quote:

Maybe Boruc's comments that McGeady has the potential to be a better player than Cristiano Ronaldo wasn't the daftest thing I ever heard after all.
Poor Alan Maybury was his opponent. :) Bayern Munich up next for Aberdeen on Thursday.
Examiner says Trap is a done deal!
http://www.examiner.ie/irishexaminer...959-qqqx=1.asp
Fingers, toes and everything else that I have is crossed!!
The FAI is richer than it ever has been!! I think the highest figure quoted to be paid to trapp is €2m and id say thats about right. Cant see the FAI going any more than that plus i doubt it will be longer than a two year contract.Quote:

There will be no hiding place for under-performaning players now. Cant hide behind poor results with the excuses of a poor manager etc. Sincerly hope they can perform to their ability and qualify for afri-ca..ca.ca..ca:ball:
brilliant display, I hope he never leaves Celtic!
This really is the best news one can get as an Ireland fan on a Monday morning. Trap with Brady and possibly Gentille. Gentile coached the Italy Under-21 National Team from October 2000 to July 2006. He won the UEFA 2004 tournament finals
He was also one of the dirtiest players ever....FACT!
Before my time but yeah I heard he was and I saw the job he did on Maradona in 1982 but he has a good coaching pedigree along with Trap and Brady so it looks good. A lot better than Stan and McDonald.
The could bring in Gerry Peyton in as Goalkeeping coach too.
Gentile was class. Reminded me of the stroppy Sergeant Belker off Hill Street Blues
Claudio Gentile
Sergeant Mick Belker
Touch of the Boycies about him too
Look at this kid!!! Come on - you got to love it.. You can only beat what is put in front of you - in this case POOR ALAN MAYBURY - an ex Irish International????
Have a wee look:)

yeah starting to have very high hopes for him now. thought he was great against brazil except for the final killer ball
Hi Aiden!
How are things?
bigmancas isnt a celtic fan ifk101! :D
Aye ;)Quote:

a joy to watch! exactly OP, you can only beat whats in front of you, and at least Celtic had men gettin in the box for the crosses he delivered. I hope he lights up the qualifiers for us but if he doesn't it wouldn't bother me in the slightest as there are so many Irish fans out there who look down on him/criticise him because he is playing in the SPL. maybe if he through in a few horrible tackles or started shouting his mouth off on tv interviews he might get praised :rolleyes:
anyone watching MOTD2 yesterday would have heard mcleish say that the standard is defnitely a lot different. He mentioned the speed as being a key factor in the difference, that the premiership is played at a far faster pace than the SPL, he also mentioned that individual errors nearly always result in a goal, whereas this is not the case in the SPL. I have nothing against the SPL, nor do I have a boner for it either, and because of this, I can be a little more objective than those who rave/disdain about it. If Mcgeady keeps doing it in the CL then a lot more will sit up and take note.
Wow. Such personal skills.Quote:

I saw a video once of him marking Maradona. He kicked the **** out of him. Definitely an interesting coach. Where'd his name crop up?Quote:
