His argument had way too many flaws. Again John Giles and Liam Brady were spot on but Giles suffers from not doing his research on enough managers. His Theory is right but he does not know enough names of top coaches around Europe.
What did Giles and Brady say NeilMcd?Quote:

Brady said he would be ruled out of teh job as he does not have enough top level experience. But if they found that they could not get a top level coach he would be intersted in the job.
They all understood Dunphys fear that the FAI will get a selection committee of fools but Dunphys logic did not stand up as he said he did not trust the FAI to pick the right men to pick the manager so therefore they should pick the manager themselves. No logic in that at all.
The make up artists were working overtime on them tonight. Bill looked like a raspberry with icing on top

Speaking of "pundits", what has happened to Jim Beglin these days? You couldn't switch on a game without him co-commentating a few years back.
Spot on. And he keeps coming out with them. Remember, after Brian Kerrs first game in charge it was Dunphy who described him as not only the best Irish coach in twenty years, but the first Proper coach in that time. Now he wants the FAI to break the bank and get the very best that's out there. And what is his idea of the very best ? Lippi, Capello, Hiddink ? No, Paul Jewell or George Graham. Ha ha, and again, ha.Quote:

He won only 2 of his last 13 games in charge and he struggled with big-earning players not producing on the pitch with one international (Wim Jonk) guaranteed £5,000 per match whether he played or not and another (Gilles De Bilde) refusing to go out on loan because he would have no-one to look after his dogs. Jewell should have seen the writing on the wall when goalkeeper Kevin Pressman was sent off after 13 seconds of his first match in charge at Wolverhampton Wanderers. His undoubted highlight was the 2-1 League Cup victory over local rivals Sheffield United and victory over Premier League West Ham United.
Sorry but have you not watched any other football other than Wednesday. Surely you can base your opinion on more than just his record at Wednesday. I dont think he is perfect for the job either but surely his record at Wigan and Bradford should come into it more.
if unsworth hadnt scored that penalty on the last game of the season and didnt keep wigan up would people have the same opinions of jewell...
I was concerned with the comments at the end
I hope I am quoting right
'select a panel and the cirus starts all over again'
One thing which worried me with the whole stan thing was the vicious assault the media made on Stan. I appreciate that the severity of the situation and the quality of the performance, but it has me extremely worried. The comments seem to me (and please correct me if I'm wrong) no matter what manager is selected, the process will be critised and the new manager from the word 'go' is undermined.
Sometimes in small doses a hard word in the press is a good thing but constant barrage will only result in one thing - bad performances and bad results.
People have to appreciate that the crowd listen to the media, the players listen the media and the manager listen to the media.
If the media are constantly critical of the team will just end up like England - desperate under achievers.
Who ever takes over - dunphy RELAX, constructive critism is welcome but use of the words 'joke' 'circus' 'clown', 'pharse' are not welcome, saying someone played out of position is ok but leave it at that.
Saying they are professionals and can take it is rubbish, the fans will interpret this as the player is not giving it 100% and will get on his back instead of supporting him
I couldnt give a rats ass about the FAI administration and concils, I hope I never hear an Irish team boo'ed on their turf again, absolute low point in Irish soccer.
Support the TEAM, support the MANAGER and support your COUNTRY
All that shows Sheff Wed more in a poor light than Paul Jewel.Quote:

Armando, I take your point but he was unable to deal with these issues.
According to Dunphy tonight Ireland are a better team then Inter Milan.
how did he compare this?! he doesnt like liverpool...
