Getting close now
irish examiner -breaking news - fai board approve package
The Republic of Ireland's new management team of Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane is expected to be confirmed tomorrow.
Reports this morning say that the FAI board approved the package to bring the duo on board at an informal meeting after the FAI Cup Final yesterday.
The deal should officially be announced tomorrow, with a press conference due later this week.
It is believed O'Neill will also bring in a new backroom team to the set-up.
He will claim a salary of around €1.2m, with an €800,000 bonus should Ireland qualify for Euro 2016 in France.
The salary offered to MON is at the top end, the assistant's salary is rumoured to somewhere between a (drunken sailor) generous 500k -700k. The bonus for qual for euro 2016 is way over the top.
It would be harder not to qualify, if we are to believe 10% of the magic that will be brought to our set up.
Are we not assume that we are going to qualify with these two on board? are the FAI preparing for failure with a bonus for actually doing the job as expected?
Yeah, he needs to get back in the sadlier.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Meanwhile, a Special Agent continue their good works...

No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
Well maybe don't look at it in bonus terms, see it as an €800,000 deduction should he not meet the target set out.
I find the 'easy qualification' talk for Euro 2016 a bit unnerving to be honest. Our goal has generally been to finish second and make a playoff. We have quite regularly fallen outside of that and even managed to fall outside the top 3 twice in recent times.
"Back in Dublin Ed O'Loughlin said it will at least galvanise supporters after the failure to qualify for the World Cup in Brazil. "They say O'Neill can deliver a bollocking with the best of them. Imagine having him giving out to you at half time and you look past his shoulder and there's Roy Keane too, staring wordlessly back at you. It'd be like Goldfinger and Oddjob. There'd be no problems with players not tracking back."
I find that very funny.
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
If Keane can kiss and make up with Quinn, McCarthy, Delaney, etc I think these relative minor scrapes will be thrust into the non-issue category quite easily.
To be on a bonus of 800k to qualify for a tournament that it would be harder not to qualify for, is way OTT. Doesn't matter what comes in from UEFA for qualifying. The basic 1.2m, is a perfectly decent salary for a manager like O'Neill, in fact it's more than decent. And there's a fat fee for the assistant manager.
It's also irrelevant imo if 50% of the salary is sponsored, the 1.2m is perfectly adequate for a top manager for the Irish team to get qualified out of the group without throwing on a bonus on top for a basic performance figure being reached.
The salary more realistically is 2m for MON and 1.2m if he fails miserably to hit the barn door from 10 paces.
Slight over-reaction but the bar is now set for Ireland managers unfortunately.
Its way too high alright, for a part time job. However it's not a normal part-time job in that full jobs come up at lower pay but probably more appealing.

It's only a part-time job is the holder makes it that way. I don't think Brian Kerr could be accused of treating it as a part time job, for example.
The money being paid is being focused on a little too much today in my opinion. Does it really matter? Its not much different that the previous management team and its not coming out of tax payers pockets so I dont see the big deal. If they are successful and get the nation behind them again then that is priceless
Its really not that complicated!!!
But is the market for well paid jobs truly open? Oh, that's another debate. One I'd be happy to have elsewhere if anyone's interested!
Except in the context of what these two are doing, none of us would come close.
Real brass neck on Damien Delaney trying to blame Roy for his speeding. He was late for work; it's his responsibility to be there on time. Perhaps ensuring he was in a position to leave for work a bit earlier would have been the more appropriate option.
I think Daryl Murphy's offering is worth highlighting:
"Playing under Roy Keane is easy," said the Ipswich and former Ireland striker Daryl Murphy. "If you work hard, he praises you. If you don't, you get criticised. He's a fairer man than people give him credit for."
Cough, Denis O Brien is so kind to us
Roy Keane doesn't suffer fools. That's a good quote from Murphy, put the effort in & the players have nothing to worry about.
The FAI on the other hand....it'll be top hotels, 1st class travel, expensive training camp locations & Michelin chefs from now on.
Just need to find the players now!!
