Apparently Max Bygraves is on the selection commitee and he was the one who suggested you need hands :D
Which actually be a good song for the fans to sing if he got the job.Quote:

Anyway can we cut out the Haan related puns , side splittingly hilarious and all that they were , and concentrate on the pro's and cons of his candidature.
He got a team to the Eufa cup final (like MON). He got a team to the European cup semi-final (like O'Leary). Was a top player. Has managed in different countries so knows the types of players and systems we will be playing against.
The Venables lackey is back :) Have you no shame?
Whatever you do Noely, don´t put a curse on Haan by sticking a tenner on him at 66/1.
Not this time Geysir. No Bet So as not to ruin Haan's chances. I used to live in Holland and Haan is widely respected there as a top coach. If Delaney called up Hiddink for advice I'm sure Haan's name would be near the top of his list.Quote:

I asked a few Dutch mates about him and basically they would rate him higher than Hodgson. Apparantly he is a perfectionist with tactics, technique and motivation and has a sense of humour. Manager date line CV :)
interesting. but why's he never managed holland? because of politics maybe?Quote:

That was funny, The only player he knew was Robbie, he siad he would build the hole team around him. God Help Us if he gets it
Arie Haan being interviewed on Off The Ball: http://media.putfile.com/Arie-Haan-I...n-Off-The-Ball
Sound is a but choppy in places, my internet connection is inconsistent lately
build a team around the only player he knows :rolleyes:
It played okay Tets, thanks a lot.
He hasn´t seen us since 2002 so who has? unless they were paid to do so.
Said something about holding onto the old players too long then you have a problem with the new players.
He wouldn´t be afraid to pull the plug.
I´d say he would have to do a good interview in order to be taken seriously
I doubt Rehhagel knew too many Greek players when he took over Greece. And as Ken Early said. First training seesion don't care what your name is. Show me what you can do.
It's only one interview and a bit of net searching, but I like the vibe off this guy.
Sadly, I fear the next we hear from him will be in a Newstalk "where did they go wrong?" vox-pop interview after Venables mucks up his first game in charge of Ireland (a hastily arranged friendly against a Singapore XI, played in Liechtenstein for tax purposes - 3-0 to Singapore), having skipped a weeks training to finish shooting "Celebrity place in the sun" for Sky Living 3 +1.
Yeah God help us if Robbie ever got regular decent supportQuote:

If you dont know the answer of thta rebel you do dont much about football.First thing is that Sanchez built the team around Healy. He made sure he got a big man in, he did not always pick the best player to partner Healy but the best man for Healy to score. He also made sure he got players who would get plenty of crosses in and he played pretty direct football. Healy then used his skill to read the knock downs and bits and pieces and has done well because he is a top finisher.
Northern Ireland had a simple game plan pretty much like we did under Charlton. Ireland under Staunton were a shambles, where all the players had no gameplan and had to make it up on the spot.
Keane had been on fire this season for spurs.
Got a classy goal against wales too.
You cant judge anyone from their performances under Stan.
No its because the whole team is based around getting the ball to himQuote:

I agree Keane has not been as good as he is at Spurs for Ireland for a while now but it is nothing to do with him not trying. Keane in many ways trys too hard. Tony Cascarino played football at the highest level and knew nothing about football.
Arigo Sachi and Mouinhio and Brian Kerr played football at a very low level and they know way more than Cascarino, and Barry Venison.
Neil thanks for that wisdom, Robbie has been ****e for Ireland because he has been trying too hard. You must be a football expert
he scored a goal in the last game
he generally plays well for ireland but has missed some chances in a few games under stan.
he misses chances for spurs too its just theyre not the only chance in the match usually and arent put under the same spotlight
He is the best Player we have, lets be honest about it, he had a few bad games under stan, but who didnt?
richard dunne
and perhaps stan's significant other
Arie Haan thinks Robbie is a thing of beauty :)
I´d regard it as a major issue for the manager to address, why our beautiful goalscorer is not scoring goals for his country when he is doing well for his club.
The question is could Arie transfer his philosophy to a rejuvinated Irish team, retaining possesion, controlling a game and creating goalscoring chances from a position of control.
his agent seems to be overdoing it a little, following the money perhaps
http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/st...4713461&EDATE=
Who did he win FIVE European Cups with ?
THREE with Ajax, who else ?
Is he lying on his CV like we all do ?
The agent is doing his homework, looks like he has been checking out the level of the Venables discontent factor on here because that is not so evident in the newspapers.
Ah he is referring to the two CWC's he won with Anderlecht.
Bit cheeky that, sure doesnt everyone have one of those.
No, a 5 time European cup winnerQuote:

I see his agent has dropped the reference of when I played against Ireland
to when I played against Liam Brady.
He didn´t play against Ireland AFAIK.
deffo would like haan..shake up the team abit..
The Haan applies for Ireland job is the most read story (Irish politics, World news, Sport) on the online Irish Times site.
Did anyone email his agent? His address is on the web.Quote:
