Roddy Collins, it just has to be.
I think the IFA should offer it to Stephen Kenny, although I'm pretty sure he wouldn't take it.
please
please
please
take steve staunton
i'm not even sure he'd realise what country he's in, sure the jersey is green
Roddy eh NO.
Big Stan a definite NO.
Was thinking that.Quote:

BBC are mentioning Hartlepool boss Danny Wilson....lets hope as Wilson says, it is merely "speculation".
so what about Nigel Worthington? what would the feelings be toward a punt on him, by the Northern lads on here?
you could never question Nigel commitment to NI as a player but I remember him being a bit of an a..hole when it came to releasing his NI players from Norwich and they seemed to pull out of alot of squads. This is hardly the work of someone who cares for their country.
Not sure about him as an international manager, honestly don't think it will be him. Jim Mgilton said he would ove the job but only if he was offered it as a part-time job as he wants to remain at Ipswich, but I doubt whether the IFA will go for that. Also, Sammy McIlroy says he would love to do the job again, I for one hope not.Quote:

If the IFA had the money, would you take Martin O'Neill as manager? As for Lawrie Sanchez leaving, I thought he was daft to make that move. He was on a good thing with NI and to jack it in for a high risk job at Fulham may be costly to him later.
The IFA want a full-time manager. And so do most of the clubs who have potential candidates. They want '' their '' manager full-time too.
Sanchez would have stayed on as a part-timer if Fulham would have allowed him to do so.
I think we should get magilton in for rest of campaign with big Gerry or Brian hamilton in to help him. If it works it works if it doesnt no-one really expects us to qualify anyway.
I really fear the IFA will go down the road it did a few years ago when mcmenamy took over, in trying to go for a biggish name.
Roy Hodgon being a rumour at the minute.lets hope it stays a rumour.
The IFA will go with who ever is cheapest. That's what they did with Sanchez, he was the cheaper option. Thankfully it worked out well.
I think its very important for NI to maintain continuity and momentum , obviously Lawrie instilled great belief and spirit in the team and its up to the new manager to maintain it.
In the Guardian today it says Colin ****3r will be the new North manager aka Neil Warnock.
I can't see Warnock being the Northern Ireland manager, although he would be a good appointment.Quote:

Magilton has ruled himself out. He just spoke to Sky Sports News saying he rules himself out but would be interested to take the job on in the future.
Billy Fenlon :D
Nigel Worthington should be the last person that N I go for,as one poster already stated the way his players used to pull out of Internationals was a disgrace,besides that what has he ever achieved as a manager?Northern ireland need to take their time and ensure they get the right man for the job so that we never go back to the disastrous days of Mcilroy and McMenemy.

Has to be Dowie, though Neil Warnock may be suited to us.
Think Martin O'Neill will eventually end up managing the Republic.
I doubt it, I'd say he's aiming a little higher than the Rep.Quote:

Coleman was at the Setanta Cup Final where he pointed out that 1. he was at the previous years Setanta Cup Final and nothing was made of it and 2. He's no interest in managing any international team but Wales.
In that respect he is of course entitled to be "old fashioned" as he put it -but I think that's crazy talk. Managers are essentially an extension of technical staff. You don't check the team doctors passport.
It is crazy talk. Afterall where would the Republic of Ireland be without Charlton. Just because you have no ties with a particular country, doesn't mean you can't do a job.Quote:

Worthington set to be unveiled
Wouldn't be my choice personally. He hasn't done much as a manager. Promoted a team then relegated them, then got sacked and hasn't held down a job since. Hardly awe inspiring.
Just like Sanchez' record then !Quote:

Can we be lucky again? I don't think so.
Am as gutted now as I was when Sanchez got the job. Hope i'm wrong about Worthington too

No one can be as bad as Sammy Mac
In Nigels defence, or even just playing Advocat Diabolus, while his apparent reluctance to release Mulryne and McVeigh will not have endeared him to NI supporters -his duty was to do what he felt was in Norwich Citys best interests.
Sack him, he's only in the job 2 minutes and we are 3rd :D
