It is my understanding that Venables' stock has fallen in the past 24 hours thanks to Bobby Robson and Don Howe.
Apparently they were less than enthusiastic in nominating him as a candidate.

I told you I rated Howe :)
it seems venables has been confirmed as the next england manager anyway :)

Quote:
He (Venables) is managing a team of England legends against a Rest of the World side coached by Sven-Goran Eriksson.
"Alan Shearer is going to be the captain for the England XI alongside myself as coach," he said of the charity match.
"Gianfranco Zola will lead the Rest of the World with Sven, and they reckon they are going to win, but we will just have to see about that on the night."
Interesting considering Howe was one of the england coaches at Euro'96Quote:

Do you think the Arsenal connection between Howe and Brady and O'leary will bias the decision?
Is O'Leary still the frontrunner?Quote:

The strange thing is they are not necessarily mutually exclusive though the former, who have been in the shadows for too long may be working to a different agenda.
So it is O'Leary. Joking. I genuinely believe that Delaeny is trying to get the best man.Quote:

“It’s total rubbish,” said one reporter who knows Houllier well.
“Having recently been appointed National Technical Director for a second time, he announced his programme of action only last week.
“He has no intention of abandoning his new role inside a month of taking it up,” the source added.
simple criteria for choosing a new manager
a. does his current employer wish to retain his services
b. are there similar organisations who would wish to employ him should he become available
If the answer to both those questions is Yes especially item b then he is our man - Hodgson is head and shoulders the best available candidate (sorry i dont have any money on him)
No to has beens
No to never were's
No to inexperience but have a feeling it might work out, worth a punt
If Hodgson cant get them playing as a unit or greater than the sum of their parts then i would question the players attitude
I actually don't think we need a really top notch manager to make a meaningful improvement given how poor the last management was.
That said, those candidates under consideration should be assessed really carefully, not just on a whim. Half the time I think the FAI like Venables so they can go back to some rural outpost and say "I met Terry Venables last night" and think they're the dog's ****** as a result. Hodgson or others don't have the same kudos.
Delaney was just on talking after the draw and said there is "certainly more interest in the job this time" when asked about El Tel. I can't really see it to be honest, unless he's talking about Liam Brady and Jason Mcateer:eek:
What was Delaney saying by that quote? That there are other candidates than Venables, or that Venables would be a candidate whereas last time only Stan was an option?
Ya I would interptret it as that.Quote:

According to this BBC report
We've spoken to about 25 people over the last couple of weeks in terms of the type of manager we should have," added the FAI chief executive.
"A number of people have contacted us saying they would like to have the job. There is certainly a greater level of interest this time than last. We've got a better squad now than 18 months ago, a better playing pool.

p.s. Another great pic of Delaney in the report :D:eek::D
Having seen the chancing schleeveen spout his guff on 6-1 news, I reccomend that interested parties ask any body language expert what Delaney was doing when he made those remarks, and they'll give you at least 5 reasons how they know he was telling more of his filthy corporate lies.Quote:

Just Delaney and David Blood.Quote:

what about billy davies? looks like hes gonna get the boot at Derby, did a great job with them the last few seasons. Think he'd lay the law a lot better than stan
i'd rather Klaus Toppmöller - currently managing Georgia believe it or not. his career seems to have gone downhill in a dave o'leary way.Quote:

I dont rate Lippi he signed robbie keane :)Quote:

Yeah thats a bizarre one alright. I was in the Flowing Tide before the Germany match watching Georgia v Scotland supping a pint of plain, then the picture of Toppmóller came up and wham, half a pint of plain over two English accented gents in surprise.Quote:

Ye know, thats exactly how I reckon it is too, there are so many country bumpkins who are plucked out of some junior club and thrown into that board ( well almost ) and they would love nothing better than to go "back and tell the lads" "guess who i was chatting to last night".....Quote:

I know he didnt do well when managing the dutch but they're a notoriously hard team to manage, with their in fighting and such?
In other news i'n warming to this Lippi and Chippy partnership
Van Gaal has said he fancies the England job, and it was offered to him before. Don't think he'd be interested in the Ireland job. Still, no reason why he can't be approached
Venables with Andy Townsend as assistant according to Lawrenson.
..with Gabi Yorath holding the magic sponge .. the new Mick byrne.Quote:
