If he quits, he gets nothing. He'll only get a pay off if the FAI sack him before his contract ends.

Were you sitting beside me at that match I remember a bit of a grumpy git giving out about Charlton after only one game. Its onl now that I am older why somebody woudl be so bitter from the start of a managers reign.
Although if Venables does get it I will try to look at the good side of it.
Leo Beenhaker is getting 250,000 euros year to manage Poland and according to Januarys World Soccer magazine Croatia are paying Slavin Bilic 47,000 pounds a year. Rumour has it we could be paying a manager up to a million euros a year. Surely it would not take much persuading to get guys like this to manage us.
Great, so the person who 9 of 10 supporters if the poll is anything to go by dont want anywhere near the job is now dictating the terms.
The FAI should grow some balls and tell him to go **** himself.
I am now inclined to wait till after the Euro's and see who fancies a challenge/E1 million for 5-6 games a year.
A ouja board and Brian Clough anyone ?
Soccer Writers Awards, eh? Sounds to me like maybe some people had a bit too much of the complimentary wine - I mean isn't it a somewhat odd environment for this "news" to break? At least that's what I'm telling myself.
I cannot say I'm surprised. Disappointed if true, I think our 3 amigos lacked imagination and just went through the usual 'has been' list and crossed them out one by one until El Tel was last man standing.
If he is offered a contract then nothing over a 2 and a half years.
I dont see it cut and dried yet.
I hope the selection panel have a plan B.
Rednapp a sure thing at 1/10 to take the Newcastle job didnŽt agree terms.
We need straws.
geysir, usually soccerc has sources before he posts anything and generally they are true. IF that is the case then he shouldbe told go and sh1te. taking the Irish for eejits, unfortunately those in charge are....
If venables is getting it, then what money have they wasted in the "process" when everyones original prediction was that venables would get it, what was the point of the "process" other than to waste money. I am so frustrated. handing out 440 euro for my tickets for 2 games every few months is seriouslly begining to **** me off when I think of who gets the money. its seriouslly frustrating and upsetting. For a start venables is past it and no where near worth 1 million euro, but go on take us Irish for a ride once more.
Who can forget the memorable Hacketts story :)
RTE radio 1 sport this afternoon had announced that they were going to have a chat with 2 who were at the soccer awards. OŽDonaghoe and some scribe about the FAI panel recommendation leak.
I have to go out can anybody listen out for it, has to happen before the close of the sporting day on RTE radio.
The Journo was Paul Lennon from the Irish Mirror. He said that Venables was interviewed just before Christmas and interviewed very well. Knew all the details of the Irish players and mentioned some players he intended to "recruit". One or two more candidates (I got the impression usual suspects)are still to be interviewed next week and then that is it. According to Lennon The likelyhood is that Venables is will be appointed at the FAI meeting of Jan 22.
O'Donaghue went off on a tangent about Houllier saying what a good candidate he would be. Both O'D and Lennon agreed that the FAI are still interested in Houllier but he has shown no interest in going through the interview process to date and is instead seeking to get back into the Premiership. Lennon finished by saying there is still the possibility of a candidate coming out of nowhere but he must be willing to go through the interview process. Nobody is going to be offered the job without being interviewed by the 3 lads. My own take on this is Venables has the job unless the likes of O'Leary or Daglish are willing to go through the 3-man process and even then Venables is probably still favourite.
I suggest you go back and read it again! :D
Where do you think I got the story?
I too was at the awards along with my six guests and strangely, everyone was being told different versions of dfferent rumours so at the end of the night you could have written a new fai rytale.
