He also wanted Brian Robson ahead of Kerr so I'd sincerely hope he's either learned something about football or at least learned to listen to those who know the football side of the game better then he does.Quote:

what about billy davies? looks like hes gonna get the boot at Derby, did a great job with them the last few seasons. Think he'd lay the law a lot better than stan
i'd rather Klaus Toppmöller - currently managing Georgia believe it or not. his career seems to have gone downhill in a dave o'leary way.Quote:

I dont rate Lippi he signed robbie keane :)Quote:

Yeah thats a bizarre one alright. I was in the Flowing Tide before the Germany match watching Georgia v Scotland supping a pint of plain, then the picture of Toppmóller came up and wham, half a pint of plain over two English accented gents in surprise.Quote:

Ye know, thats exactly how I reckon it is too, there are so many country bumpkins who are plucked out of some junior club and thrown into that board ( well almost ) and they would love nothing better than to go "back and tell the lads" "guess who i was chatting to last night".....Quote:
That said, those candidates under consideration should be assessed really carefully, not just on a whim. Half the time I think the FAI like Venables so they can go back to some rural outpost and say "I met Terry Venables last night" and think they're the dog's ****** as a result. Hodgson or others don't have the same kudos.
I heard that delaney made a million before he was 30 is that true?
knowing him its probably a lie...Quote:

Anyone think he'll be a good option.
I know he didnt do well when managing the dutch but they're a notoriously hard team to manage, with their in fighting and such?
In other news i'n warming to this Lippi and Chippy partnership
Van Gaal has said he fancies the England job, and it was offered to him before. Don't think he'd be interested in the Ireland job. Still, no reason why he can't be approached
Venables with Andy Townsend as assistant according to Lawrenson.
..with Gabi Yorath holding the magic sponge .. the new Mick byrne.Quote:
