would be an awful appointment in my opinion. I don't think the guy even speaks English. Would look ridiculous .. the English appoint an Italian and we ape them again.
followers of Bayern Munich remember his attempts at German .. just google "Ich habe fertig"
Trapattoni along with Brady may not be too bad. But it kind of reminds me of Vogts and Scotland
Trapattoni is also under contract. Another good day for the bookies.
Thanks to Trapattoni, my huge green on the betfair market has now gotten bigger :) I think the FAI should string this process out for at least another year, I'll be a millionaire :D
Think he deserves his own thread by now.
Sky sources say he's "deep in talks with the FAI" just announced there on SSN.
Seems as if this could be the man
I don't know about this guy, had a poor enough record in the championships with Italy, and known for being over-defensive. His time with Stuttgart as well was fairly poor. His recent record has not been great, and considering he is now working in Austria.....
Well better than El Tel anyway:D
His press conferences would be more entertaining than Stan's, that's for sure ;)

just in from football and not only has my Brazil tickets arrived but Sky sports had this as breaking news and it looks possible. I'm excited at the news - at least the panel are thinking outside the box. At 68 though is he too old?
here his record spot the league of ireland club he managed!!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Trapattoni
just read his profile, won a trophy with every team he managed:ball:
Well he certainly has more experience than stan. Tell ye lads, after reading up on him i would be happy with him and Liam Brady. I was saying id like Brady if he had experience anyway
Gone 4/7 on paddypower.com
Was 13/8 about half hour ago
He hasn't won anything with the only international team he managed.Quote:

This looks good. Great managerial record. I'd be very happy if this comes off.
You should read again then!Quote:

Thats five outta ten of the clubs he managed. But dont let that get in the way of a bit of hyperbole.
Not sure why everyone is convinced this will be a great appointment.
I just don't see our players adapting to an ultra-defensive mindset.

thats actually would be comical:Quote:
