He isn't seriously putting forward George Graham's name (rte website won't stream stuff here in the UK)? The guy is 62 and not had a job in football since Spurs sacked him. I'd keep well clear and the same applies to El Tel.Quote:

Youre fast on the draw Tets, where do you get the off the ball interviews from?
as in from the web site or do you record it and upload it yourself?
Interesting to hear Giles talk so positivly about Jewell, he clearly is impressed by him and thinks he would do a good job.
There was nothing about what happenned after the chat with Jewell if Giles had reported back to Delaney.
Maybee Giles´s brief was just to catch Jewel´s attention our way.
Actually Kilbane was stuggling to break into the starting 11 in the last 6 months or so of Jewells tenure. I really dont think there is a candidate we can get that would be accepted by so many. Simple as, not many managers would get a nothing club like Bradford, and then keep them in the Premiership. Then he went and did the same with Wigan. Yes they had money but he consolidated them in the Premiership which was a great acheivement. Plus cast you mind back to last day of last season. Wigan were the favourites to get relegated but they went to their rivals Sheff Utd and beat them. He motivated this team to pull off a great result and things like this show he has the quality to succeed at international managementQuote:

You gotta love the Dunph. :)
Jesus thats all we need :mad:
As British prime minister Macmillen said one time when asked about the possibility of asking the people via a referendum, "I'd sooner ask my valet"
Fair play Tets for posting that. Great interview. Fair play to Johnny Giles for doing what the FAI should be doing ie interviewing potential managers.Quote:

The pundit says he won't be on the panel but has not prejudiced his role as a pundit even if Jewell is appointed because he's not on the panel.Quote:

p.s. WHo is that picture of in the blue and white stripes jersey on your webpage and what club jersey is it? Is it Joey O'B in a Wednesday shirt?
Why? I am sure the Welsh and our Northern brethern who did better than us would really love pejorative comments like that. Love him for mouthing off. Go down O'Connell Street late at night and you hear the same level of comment. Don't you just love that.:mad:Quote:

Goes back to my point that, while he won't be the most loved candidate, he's more than likely the least hatedQuote:

As an aside.Jewell was quoted somewhere recently as saying he was overlooked for some jobs because of his Scouse accent. Anti-Scouse prejudice, for those who don't know, is just another form of anti-Irishness. So many Merseysiders have Irish ancestry that to be anti-Scouse in a socially acceptable form of age old anti-Irish prejudice. And you can't be accused of racism cause Scousers are technically English
I've never heard this before. Any links to any studies/reports?Quote:

Getting Wigan and Bradford to the premierhsip, and keeping them there, are far greater achievments than winning a few cups and a UEFA Cup with millions to speand on Liverpool, much greater achievments than winning a scottish league with Rangers and an FA Cup after inheriting one of the great sides in world football history, and greater than getting Leeds to a CL final and almost bankrupting them in the process.
If you wouldn't want him, ask yourself this, who would be better who would take the job??
I dont see Giles just as an "aged" tv Pundit, I see him as the greatest Irish football legend. A dedicated player, captain and manager, a mature football man who is held in very high esteem even by young guys like Jewell.Quote:

Giles coming to the door of a good manager to have a chat about the Irish job is a stroke of diplomacy. Jim McLoughlin or Liam Touhy don't carry the same weight outside Ireland.
Giles is also a failed Irish manager by the way. I respect Giles as a former player and greatly admired him when he played for Ireland and Leeds. But the rest of his career I have no time for. Himself and Dunphy perpetually on RTE with no dissenting voice attacking Hand, Charlton and McCarthy for years. If he wants to act as kingmaker with Dunphy pulling the strings, so be it but I won't respect him for it and then put out PR stuff that this won't affect his role as a pundit. of course it will if Jewell, the failed Wednesday manager (mind you there are a lot of them ;)) is appointed. We now have the situation where the RTE pundits are selecting the next Irish manager.Quote:

Owlsfan, who were the prima donnas you say he couldn't manage at Wednesday? Searching my brain's deepest recesses I'm thinking maybe Gilles de Bilde (pretty crap anyway) and Wim Jonk, who'd probably lost any hunger he had at that stage. Enlighten us if you would please. :)
Any other titbits from his Wednesday tenure?
I don't have the software to listen to Tets' link but will be able to listen to it tomorrow at work.
From what I hear though Giles simply felt the FAI was dragging its heels and feared that Jewell would get a club job imminently so he asked to speak to him to sell the idea to him. I see this as the selfless act of a guy who cares but maybe I'm being naive.
Reading the Sunday Indo today it appears worryingly more likely that Venables is in the frame.Then again I have little respect for the Sunday Indo's writers.
To those who backed O'Leary and Jewell at ridiculously low odds on Betfair, thank you very much, your support is greatly appreciated.
Maybe you're right.Quote:

Not really. I remember him blaming the players for lack of effort and Wednesday being hopeless under him. Wednesday may even have been bottom of the league by the time he got the heave ho. That said, if I had a pound for every manager I've seen sacked by Sheff Wed, I'd be a rich man.Quote:

Giles said “Last week it was in the paper that Paul Jewell, who I consider to be an outstanding candidate for the job, turned down an offer from Wigan, which was worth a lot of money to him apparently, and I was thinking ‘if we’re going to get the best candidate, Paul Jewell would be one of them and what happens if another club comes in the next few days and he signs up for them without anybody from Ireland putting a case to him that the Irish job would be beneficial to him?’”
“We had a good chat. I explained the possibilities of the Irish job to him, how in my opinion it would be good for him and today it was interesting to read in the paper that he was interested. He hasn’t dismissed it.
“You’d lose the candidate before you’d had a chance to really talk to him. I would hate to lose a candidate like Paul Jewell. To lose a candidate like that would have been awful.”
Giles added: “If similar circumstances happened again then I would offer my services again. That’s why I did what I did and I’ve no regrets about that. If I had to do it again I’d do it again and take whatever flak that’s flying my way, because all I want is to get the best possible manager so we have the best possible chance of qualifying for the next World Cup.
“To be quite honest, if we’re trying to get the right man for the job and things are not in place, I feel I have a duty to do it,” he added.
Respect.

According to one of the red tops (therefore it must be true) Jewell wants a Premiership job. Ars.e anyway.
Don't think I have a preference anymore.....
Thanks - already being discussed in "New Irish Manager" thread.
Breaking News on Sky Sports:
Jewell had ruled himself out of ROI job.
Already been mentioned.Quote:

Jewell said on skysports that Delaney called him up last night (Thursday). Delaney is either contacting the candidates himself (for the 3 wisemen to then interview those declaring an interest?)or Jewell was first choice.
Another FAI botch job :eek:( quelle surprise:rolleyes:).
Bye, bye Fewell. Good luck in your unending search for another club job. You'll soon find that chairmen don't want "managers" who stay permanently down the bottom of the league.
dont see why its a botch job. he was offered the job and turned it down
Except that the whole candidate selection process is suppose to be handled by an elite group of 'football' people and not some smug overpaid idiot who is trying to use said group to absolve him of the blame in case the job goes pear shaped once again.Quote:
