Most of the players were happy with Staunton and seemingly wanted him kept in the job so I wouldn't pay a great deal of attention to their views on possible incumbent managers.

Except for Steven Ireland of course :D Actually maybe he'll give an honest opinionQuote:

no my point is ireland reportedly doesnt want to play for ireland so wouldnt mind if he was dropped by badmouthing the potential manager.Quote:

Has he? I thought Keane was gone from Leeds before Venables took over? Morrison would probably have more experience playing under Venables than any Irish player.Quote:

So Robbie did play under Venables for 3 games in August 2002 - http://www.soccerbase.com/players_de...7&seasonid=132 - and scored against Man City in the opening game of the season. I did think he had played more games under VenablesQuote:
Tottenham 31-08-2002 £ 7000000
Clinton played under Venables in the 1998/1999 season - http://www.soccerbase.com/players_de...6&seasonid=128 - 22 games, 4 goals and 2 yellow cards under Venables
A guy i live with works for Paddy Power and he got a call from a london branch that Ray Houghton's brother put money on Terry Vegetables to be next manager. Sounds like a dodgey rumour but its what im told.
To quote Paul Hyland in today's herald.....
'A round of appluase for Terry Venables who's keep a dignified silence'!
and .....'The FAI have done what no one thoughht they could do and found a credible candidate who isn't Terry Venables'.....!!!
Truly bizarre, when was Venables ever credible in anyone's mind bar him and Fanning?
bar his and fannings....
ya its just arrogance and he doesn't want to appear like he has given in and they have done what he wanted. what a flute, is that paul hyland the cross-eyed, googlyeyed fella?!
I wouldn't call this (from 2 days ago!!) - http://www.independent.ie/sport/othe...b-1286433.html - a dignified silenceQuote:

yeah was just gonna mention that. seems like a last gasp plea from a desperate man. I think he know at this stage that if the FAI don't give him a job who will?Quote:
