Rumbled at last :eek:
It was obvious that if we screwed up in the last game against Cyprus, Stan would go by "mutual consent". It was also obvious that if we won by 5, Stan would still be the manager despite the misgivings all around the place.
I think the appointment by Delaney of the "football people" is both devious and sensible. It takes the blame game away from the FAI for the future if things don't go well and if it does go well, the appointment was ratified by the FAI. No lose situation and John D keeps his job.
The only problem is that there are a lot of dumb "football people" out there. Imagine Paul Merson and Chris Kamara picking the new manager :D
