Stan was a great player but he lost some of my respect when he took a job he clearly wasn't in the least bit qualified to do.
He lost a bit more with his stubborn refusal to admit that he was out of his depth no matter how bad the results got and no matter how far he dragged the team into the mud.
He lost the last bit when he rolled a sick and innocent Bobby Robson out to face the media and an enraged public after the San Marino debacle late in his reign.
Yeah, that was a low and I remember thinking, you f*cking coward sending someone else to to that and remembering his - I'm the gaffer I'm the boss- speech in that context. Whatever he did as a player, sending Robson out that day tarnished Stauntons legacy. That day particularly and five goals v Cyprus helped balls it up too obviously.
The only good thing to come from Stan in the Ireland job was I had a fiver on him at 50/1 to get the job!
Hey, whats going on with this chap Lewis O'Brien? He looks like a little James McClean,..... what about his papers?
You can't spell failure without FAI
Guys only university people in Argentina, (not rich upper class people cattle owners etc), since our universities are 70% of all of them for free, will actually know O'Brien as the guy from 1984 of the book of Orwell about a totalitarian state-
government.
This O'Brien young fellow is going to Burnley and it is Paddy Stewart's Huddersfield Town, player of the season, last season
Talking about eligible potentially interested players I think this is the time for Kenny to make a phone call to Redmond's irish mother
If Redmond is a good son, and I think he is, just play for your mother's side family
Seems to have had little interest in meeting Mick during his tenure, doubt he wants to declare

the guy became a bench warmer, he kept Soton up, football is ruthless, if there is a final approach is now, the guy has a direct link, irish mother, hope she didnt become a tory
I can assure the 3 lions wont call up Nathan never again , his train is gone. Will he get in the irish train with his mother? Thats the issue
