Unsubstantiated reports on Newstalk this morning that El Tel has been offered the job and has gone on holiday to think about it.
I've been battered into submission. I don't care anymore.
At least this time Tel is taking his holidays before starting a new job.
I agree. I've accepted our fate. It could have been Stapleton if things carried on any further.Quote:

Provided he has got the job - which is far from confirmed, I suppose its time to put our grave reservations aside, wish him to very best and support him.
I can see it now:Quote:

Yeah I'd echo these sentiments....ever since Hodgson took over at fulham I've gone past caring about who takes over cause it'll just be the usual has-been or never was :mad:
whats the chances of Brady being drafted in to assist Venebles and possibly take over the u21s? would be some kind of silver lining...
i expect Newcastle will beat us to Houllier while those three useless codgers are still putting their list of candidates together.Quote:

never said i've gone past caring about the Irish team (which would never happen) but I can honestly say that the Brazil/Serbia matches will be my last on the block-booking...i'm done with lining the pockets of these chancers.Quote:

To save us from Venables, the last chance for us would be if Noely was to put his curse on him and place a saver bet on Venables at 3/1.
Denied by Gilesy who seems to think that he's in the loop (of course he may not be). Still some people due to be interviewed according to him but the cynics would say that Del Boy was offered the job before anyone was interviewed.Quote:

If I hear "unrealistic expectations" once more I'll scream!
Is it unrealistic to expect to be competitive against Cyprus and ***ing San Marino and to be composed enough to see out winning positions in places like Slovakia and Wales when we have a team full of Premiership players? Is it unrealistic to expect a team to consist of your best players?
Houllier now gone in to 6-1 on paddy power, same mate i was telling you about earlier told me over the weekend that his aunt who owns a pub in dublin was chattin a guy who works in admin in the FAI told her that he was nailed on for the job
i **** you not
Hmm, hearsay and conjecture, those are kinds of evidence (tm and (c) Lionel Hutz)Quote:

Another o.g. for Delaney - everyone feared it was a done deal for Venables and the "selection process" was just an excuse for the three boys to go on a month-long all expenses paid jolly.
Actually, whoever leaked the story may well have done more harm than good to Venables' chances - the only way Delaney and the 3 Wise Men can have any credibility now is if anyone but El Tel gets the job.
With a whopping 90% disapproval rating they could make themselves very popular by appointing just about anybody else.

Houliier is still 16/1 with PP but he is being offered at 6/1 on Betfair
I might as well get the ball rolling here. He will be out of a job in a couple of days?
Big Sam for the irish job?
Didnt he do well for Limerick ;)

do ya think its about time to lock all the other manager threads now and just keep all discussion to this one. that way one can avoid the mindless speculation. serious request.
My two cents for what its worth I would happily have Brady as manager. He seems to know his stuff. since his time in management he has spent his time (imo eventho I dont "support" them) at one of the best run clubs in the world. There are no certainties with any of the candidates but at least I would feel more comfortable supporting a liam brady Ireland over a terry venables or a glen hoddle ireland....
hes actually 6/1 now if you care to check again with PPQuote:

It's different with PP own site.
Giles in at 10/1. Has to be one of the most absurd odds ever offered.

Out of those 6 who can do a job for us? A very bad bunch I grant you but these are the dregs we are left with and unless an outsider flukes it (Sanchez) then one of these men must get it. If I had to put them in order of preference it would look something like this:
Houllier
El Tel
Brady
O'Leary
Kenny
Hoddle.
Did Kenny not just take the Derry job.
I don't think that 'Kenny' was ever considered for the job!

well it says a lot when successful irish managers like Kenny or Richardson are considered behind the likes of Hoddle and Brady.
According to various reports O'Leary, Dalglish and Venables have not been interviewed (almost certainly because they refuse to go through the 3 migo's process). So why continue with the migo's charade?
these guys refuse to be interviewed!! haha no wonder these guys havent worked in a while.Quote:

Does beg the question who they HAVE interviewed considering that we know
a ) there were '14' interviews
b ) the "usual suspects" we note - Venables et al - have not been contacted.
I never saw it that there would be interviews with everybody who was interested in front of the panel of 3 firing questions at them
I would have thought that it's a one to one chat and maybe the whole panel meet with the top 2 or 3 candidates.
Houghton stated that the only people who have applied are the "usual suspects" The Kendall's, Billy Davies etc, etc. The types Grimsby would turn down.Quote:

it makes sense
some priick in the fai has to organise the details of the meetings. he recognises the names brady/giles and hoddle as the most prominant because he knows nothing about football. and we're left with "hoddle is sure favourite like boy"
No. It means the candidates that have applied are so bad Hoddle comes out looking like Shankly.Quote:
