The FAI cant throw the manager out because some of the players dont like the way they are playing or because he "shouted" at them FFS.
Or at least not before letting him play a half dozen games with a full panel.

It’s bizarre that raising his voice and shouting could even be vaguely seen as a problem. I said I though he persisted with Duffy and Randolph out of fear of losing the senior players. It seems the dropping of Coleman and cutting adrift of Long might have already upset the apple cart.
The upside might be it gives him carte Blanche to completely overhaul things and just leave out those who don’t have his back. The squad come March might be very telling.
It's a narrative-driven dog-pile. Next will be the Sunday op-eds about "losing the dressing room" and painting Kenny's reign as a sunk cost already. I suspect some "anonymous sources" will start making additional trouble then.
We've seen this all before in plenty of nations and clubs.
I think he may have lost the dressing room. Coleman out, Shane Long strange things happened
Is it in South-Park that they are always Killing Kenny ?
James McClean has come out calling it gutter journalism. He posted an image of an article which said that himself, Robbie Brady, shane duffy and Darren Randolph were uneasy.
The article said there was a big deal made of Seamus Coleman doing a press conference before the first game in September. That an irish player “of that stature” had never been asked to do a press conference knowing they weren’t going to be starting. “The humiliation suffered by Coleman went down like a lead balloon”.
It’s such bull****. He’s the captain. It’s the first game in charge. It makes total sense that he’d do the press conference before the start of the campaign. I genuinely remember Cyrus Christie doing a press conference before a game and not playing at all.
Can’t imagine anyone took issue with it... it’s just an orchestrated campaign by someone to undermine Stephen. After the indo piece, then there was the Belfast telegraph deleted article about Randolph (Belfast telegraph is also owned by the indo). Sick stuff...
Enda Stevens also rallying around Kenny, saying he's disappointed the story got leaked in the first place. That's encouraging to see.
Stevens comments come from this story on the Irish Times: https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soc...14871?mode=amp
But Seamus Coleman is the player everybody is waiting for to speak up
he is the squad skipper
Alan Kell is not the mole, kudos and plaudits to his reputation,
top goalkeeper, should have played more in premier league. Loyal servant
Imagine that ,a manager shouting at his players .....and .....some of the babies cant take it ,so we will inform a journo and show that brute whose boss.
Am I reading too much into things that he didn't say "There was nothing wrong with the video"?
