Lads, can someone please post up a link to footage of the Delaney interview on RTÉ tonight? I can't find anything on the RTÉ website.
I deleted the above message because I don;t want to get anyone in trouble, let's just say Superhoops don't be so naive.

Out of that list a lot of those 'candidates' are unrealistic and unachievable. Gerard Houllier would be by far and away my first choice. Houllier would actually be quite a coup, doubt he'd take the job though.
Didier Deschamps is also a very good coach. Paul Jewell wouldn't be bad but he wouldn't go for international at this stage of his career. It's a pity Steve Coppell isn't available. Terry Venables would have to be looked at, has all the credentials. I hate O'Leary's attitude. He'd be 100 times better and more astute than Staunton but he's just smarmy, couldn't see myself taking to him. The rest on the list are all s**t or ridiculous.
We need a decent coach who knows his tactics and how to organise a team and win games. Especially away from home. This is why I'd choose Houllier hands down. But any coach with those credentials will at the very least have us competing at the top of the group again...
Stan will be gone for financial reasons. The FAI need to sell 10000 10 year tickets to finance Lansdown road, with the numbers not turning up last night after paying at least €50 and others walking out before the end, this is not going to happen.
Delaney was on the pitch last night at the end of the game and there was no support for Stan after the game. Todays interview was used to distance himself from the appointment. So the game will be up after the Wales game.
Just on the news that Delaney has had his contract extended until 2012, that will stop any cu.
Off Topic but it's interesting to note that Stephen Kenny was 80/1 to get the Ireland job 2 years ago and he's 25/1 now.
So you reckon he'll be 6/1 after Venables goes?
Steve Copell has publicly expressed an interest in managing an international team. Can't see him getting the England job if McClown gets the boot. So he would be my first choice to be approached.
who are you all kidding, why would coppell, houllier, or deschamps want to manage ireland... its a deathtrap
John Sheridan will be the next Ireland manager.
Isn't he managing Oldham? Do we really want a League 1 manager (even one who took his team to the playoffs last year)? Don't get me wrong, he'd be better than Stan, but I think we can do better. I love McAteer, but his experience is about the same as Stans was (player-coach...I can't remember who mentioned McAteer). Even Mark Kinsella would be better as he has some knowledge working in Charlton's backroom.
At this point, i don't really care to much about the next manager just that the current manager gets booted out da fcuk. When i seen this thread my heart started beating like a dog with 2 dciks, but soon after entering the thread i felt like a dog that just had his balls cut off!!
Cavan_Fan QUALITY :D :DQuote:
I'm in charge of construction work and paperclips (unless we win in which case it was all me)
thats exactly what i read as well from the interview, plus that big dopey head on him like he got caught in the sun and is trying to look away. He is such a little weasel on a one man crusade to right his fathers stupid doings. Stupidness clearly runs in teh family. What i didnt like was giles making out he was a great man, for the "average" fan they will take that as gold.
Three people made the appointment," said Delaney. "It was a sub-committee of the FAI of three people who made the appointment of the management team. "It's unfortunate that I've been personally linked to the appointment when there was a sub-committee of three which was ratified by the board of the FAI, which is a committee of 10."
"As the association's top official, Delaney led a three-man sub-committee charged with finding a successor to Brian Kerr whose reign ended two years ago tomorrow. FAI president David Blood and the association's honorary secretary Michael Cody were the other two officials involved"
Delaney is a snake alright, how can he distance himself ?

I think people still fall for the "Walsall coach" myth.
He was paid as a "coach" to disguise player costs as far as I know. I don't think he was even coach at Walsall in any capacity.
Open to correction...
Get a guy who knows international football. An experienced coach who knows the international football game. Its a different skill to taking Wigan or Reading and doing well by wealing and dealing and working with your players week in week out.
My thoughts exactly when I saw that. Cowardly and there cannot possibly be any chance of Stan keeping his job after a comment like that.
You don't get to positions like Delaneys though without being a snake at times. Did we honestly think that he'd hold his hands up and walk? He'll be much tougher to remove.
yeah but the problem is if (BIG IF!) we get rid of him who'll replace him? It'll more than likely be another one of the backstabbers that take the helm and it'll be the same ould sh!te again...
Whatever happened to the genesis report? IMHO the FAI needs a major overhaul, get fresh blood in with new ideas for both domestic and international football in this country and actually put to good use the crazy money that is being stumped up by the fans....
This, of course, will not happen.....
delaney threw him to the wolves yesterday...trying despeately to save his granite arse
Kinsella does seem to be doing a good job there, but he shouldn't be our next manager...though definitely a prospect in a few years

Delaney reminds me of Puncius Pilot (sic). Not my problem the board of management have to make up their minds on what to do with Stan.
As regards a new manager, what about Martin Jol and Chris Haughton, who will soon be looking for work. Robbie might score a few goals.
Cant see us attracting a top European coach so I think I would go for Dave O'Leary. I know he wasted a lot of money, but he did manage to get Leeds to the semi-final of the Champions league and finish consistently high in their respective league.
In reality, you cant look further than O' Leary. He is very familiar with the irish international scene and he has plenty of experience in club management at the highest level with Leeds. People will bandy about other names but I cant see anyone else getting near the position.
Why not Roy Hodgson
Why the **** can't we look further than David O'Leary?!
This must be the same attitude the FAI have - 'Ah, sure there's no point approaching him, he'd never take the job'...'ye, you're right lets go for someone who will definitely take it because he won't be working anywhere else anytime soon'
ALLELUIA!!
He has to be asked. It's a no brainer.

hmmm, i knew you had a funny sense of being, its even more apparent now.
In a job at present, who's to say he'll want to leave? Dislikes the english media and our media has practically dragged itself down to their level over the last few years. Sending people dressed as muppets out to training gsessions ffs, who actually finds sh1t like that amusing??
Who's to say he wouldn't leave? You don't know if you don't ask.
His contract with Finland is for the Euro2008 campaign. They still have a chance of qualifying - but no matter what, his contract will have to be re negotiated sometime between Nov 17th and June 2008.
If we approach him at the end of Euro qualifying I would be amazed if he didn't show an interest...he knows his stuff and the chance of getting us to a World Cup finals and then managing on that stage again is a huge incentive and easily over rides any waryness of how the media operates.
Can't argue with that but a lot of people seem to assume that if we just ask we'll get, I've seen a lot of names touted on here that wouldn't contemplate leaving their present jobs to manage us.
I think Hodgson would be a solid appointment btw, just think he might prefer to stay with Finland if he's being sucessful there.
