"jocular men with the stammering unction of a Fianna Fáil TD" is definitely my favourite turn of phrase this week.
Funny article.
Anthony Hudson LMFAO ?
The article is great, but there's a serious point to it as well. Which is that "Mark with a C" Canham is now a joke figure who has lost all credibility and nothing he ever says within Irish football will be taken seriously again. He'll have to go once all this is finally concluded, if not before.
How good an appointment would we need for all to be forgiven and trust to be restored? Are we talking Carsley, Barry or are we talking Klopp?Quote:

My source: (Translated from Mandarin):
"A few weeks ago, the FAI were having a tickle session to relive tension, and a few glasses of brandy afterwards. They slowly came to a conclusion...why hire a human manager at all? Ireland will change the game with an AI manager, able to compute every possibility in a manner of milliseconds. It can communicate with the players, foresee strategy based on a combination of the great managers in history, predict injuries, and order lunch....
...It is a flawless idea. Post game pressers of the reporters scuffling with what is essentially a computer program will be must watch TV the world over, and oh, it can never ask for a raise, requires no health benefits and will never leave for a better job. Now, the one big issue, which could cause mass panic is (redacted)"
I am actually excited about this. I think it's a great idea.
The site can get legal grief if people post that. A quick google should sort you out.Quote:

no longer any kind of deadline set - 'hopefully' by september. JOSH likely to continue as interim coach, but not yet confirmed.
Willing to go 8 months without a manager and just send that manager into the NL with no preparationQuote:

At this point they might aswell just give the job to John and accept they made a balls of the whole process. At least with John there's a chance we go into the NL with some preparation with him having 4 friendlies to prepare the side, we arent going to get a good option at this point. Just go with John, get rid of Canham and hopefully if we find ourselves in this position again we dont make the same mistakes.
I can't believe he went public with that statement/interview/whatever it was without even having O'Shea confirmed for June. No reference to his blatant lie about contractual obligations last month, nothing but fluff. Absolutely nothing. He has to go surely?!
Wait, what?!Quote:

If we assume the dogs in the street knew Kenny was gone before his contract ended, then we'll be a year without a manager.
No prep for a tough Nations League group - surely relegation favourites?
How long will the CEO search take?! (On second thoughts, based on recent years maybe we should experiment with not having one...)
Friendly room / environment.Quote:

He needs to face the pack of journalistic wolves he's made clowns of for half a year who couldn't find the new guy to tell us about because there wasn't one. Despite him saying there was and even giving an announcement window. I guess that won't be happening either.
Well scripted it was.Quote:

On top of that, there was suspicion from the outside (fans) that we were desperate and a shambles - and prospective managers may have had the same and probably had it confirmed during their engagements (probably Carsley...). He has now basically admitted all of this.
So, he has to go. He can't possibly survive this.
Absolutely think it will be O'Shea. They are hoping he gets a good result in June to justify it, the one he couldn't get in the last window.
Shocking situation altogether. An absolutely fundamental failure at the top level of the FAI.
Bring back Vera. She can go down in history I assume as the first to qualify for both WCs.
Afraid John Herdman has her beat there!
does anyone want to read posts 7 and 16 on this thread? it's all going to plan...
Will be interesting to see if we get any reports in the coming days regarding how that "interview" was received at board level. There must be at least some board members who would want Canham to be stood down from further involvement in the managerial search process at this point.
I mean I'm not even joking at this point, literally give John O'Shea the job. Canham and the rest of the cronies behind this hiring process have made an absolute mockery of the job and any manager worth his salt will see that and wont touch it with a barge pole, I mean going potentially 8+ months without a manager is gone beyond a joke at this point.
The only thing they can do now to attempt to restore any credibility in the role is give it to John O'Shea as he seems popular with the players, been involved in the set up before and with two friendlies in the summer will have 4 games under his belt as the manager. Considering how much of a mess the FAI have made of the process he's probably the best option as any other option that comes in will have no time with the players or in the set up.

By September we will be so glad to get a manager in place they will give it to Duffer or Bradser.
Roddy for Ireland manager you heard it here first..............even interim manager would be great craic
The ONLY positive out of all this is that they haven't (yet) reverted to just giving it to O'Shea. We saw enough in the two games to know that he's nowhere near up to the level we require.
I know people are fed up with this process and the FAI have communicated horribly with the public by setting a deadline they couldn't meet BUT a lot of new managers will become available in the next 3 months between the end of club seasons and the euros so now would be the worst possible time to give up and settle for JOS.
Probably not because then they'd have to try find a new manager themselves or outsource that job to someone else. Then they'll get stick if they don't deliver. I'd say there's a few people though rubbing their hands in glee after today hoping Canham follows Hill out the door.Quote:

I certainly didn’t mean to include that the FAI would be shown up to be a complete mess while they’re at it. For goodness sake, any professional organization with a semi-decent recruitment process does a better job at head hunting than these imbeciles. The job challenge and package ain’t the most attractive but it’s also not the worst. They’ve actually succeeded through all this in making it less attractive now. Absolute joke shop.Quote:

Nobody's better than Kenny.
:rolleyes:
Rumours flying around now that Eamonn Dunphy hasn't been this ashamed to be Irish since we drew with Egypt.
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
:confused2::nails::angry3:
:mad2::curse::cry:
:excruciating::hopelessness::dejection:
Does Canham survive this & do any of you think he may in fact be the reason we don't have a manager ?
Even if he does weather this does he have any credibility capital left to go about implementing his plan for the future of Irish football document, which was literred with the buzz word corporate phraseology he's now being rightly crucified for as a total bluffing fraud ?
Sometimes, Football just needs a Football Man.
