:D I think Jewell was given the heave hoo by "mutual consent" before he suffered that ignominy but he was well on the way at the time.Quote:

Were you talking to his agent, he has not even been interviewed yet.
No some of the people he has worked with!Quote:

Any chance we can implement a similar policy here?
How can someone provide proof really, I agree it can get annoying but to honest its not really a workable solution
how about that at the very least you provide a link to a newspaper report claiming that Davies (or whoever) will be appointed?Quote:

If its a choice between Davies now or waiting until the end of the season for (ideally) Trapp or someone else who may become available, I choose waiting. Whoever said 'he would still be in a job if he hadn't got them promoted' was spot on - a mediocre manager who belongs in a mediocre division - not international football.
Are you running their website?? :confused: :eek:Quote:

Comprendez?? :confused:
if it is billy davis i will be disgusted , pants manager
I disagree!
Top manager!
Used to working with partial professionals and getting them promoted out of the championship.
Well suited for the ROI :p
Here's what you said about Paul Jewell:

Davies only one one game, didnt survive the season and had them relegated before the season was barely started imo.
And has Jewell fared any better at Derby?Quote:

They might as well interview Roddy Collins if they are going to seriously consider Billy Feckin Davies!:mad:
would you really take the Star as a reliable source?Quote:

He's done an excellent job at most of the clubs he's been with - Derby were pretty much doomed to relegation before the season began. Would any of Mourinho, Cappello, Ferguson have kept them up? I doubt it. If he got the job then he may be unsuited to international management and completely fail but he could also be a resounding success. If he gets the job he'll have my complete support but anyway, I doubt it will be him who gets it.
well I wouldn't exactly call it dating, if you know what I mean ;):D:DQuote:

I dont understand that headline at all there is not quote to suggest it. Bit of a non story really
Who is picking the boss?? The players, or the committee??
Who or what the players want is irrelevant really. We want the best appointment for Irish football, not a quick fix. And if it takes until September, let it be. If they don't like it, tough. Someone else (pref. playing here) will gladly take their place.

Is Billy Davies name been mentioned just more smokescreens been thrown out to fudge the issue? The whole process has been hijacked by some members of the board imo.
I would have thought that a managerial appointment well before September was imperative as we start our qualifying campaign then.
I dont understand the Billy Davies thing at all... No matter how you look at it its wrong. Dunphy would eat him for dinner.. No CV at all in my opinion and I cant see him motivating top players.Quote:

Please differentiate between the two, bearing in mind that Jewell performance in the Premiership with Derby is as bad as Davies' and the latter got the sack for his.Quote:

Davies on the other hand brought a really **** Derby team into the Premiership, when realistically they probably should have been mid table at best.
As I've said here before, I'd be behind a Davies appointment. He got the best out of a bad bunch at Darby, and maybe he could do the same for us.
So if a manager doesn't have a 'CV' then they can't motivate players? When Mourinho, Benitez and Wenger all started out none of them had CVs. None of their players would have heard of them. Mark Hughes may have been a high profile player but he'd never managed a team. Anyway, I would personally say that Billy Daviers does have a CV, and a decent one at that. It could go wrong but I personally think that he would be a better option than Venables, as he has more experience (and success) in the modern game.Quote:
