MON could be gone as early as todayOriginally Posted by centre mid
Am I right in saying this all stems from one report in the Telegraph?
no, not really
The more dramatic reports where it appears he'll be sacked seem to be sourcing The Telegraph - RTÉ, the42.ie, The Examiner, Irish Times.
The Indo (Dan McDonnell) are only quoting MON saying that they'll meet for talks, as is standard practice after every match.
Edit - actually The Indo have a more recent report sourcing The Telegraph too so yeah, it seems to be mainly (if not exclusively) from there.

My memory of it was that he wasn't Stoke's first choice.
Phew. McCarthy must be a very short price. There are few options. Kenny would be great as far as I'm concerned.
Troussier surely.
had to be done. the euros were great so fair play to MON for that, but the time for change had come.
He wasn't, it was Gary Rowett iirc. But you said he applied for jobs, my memory of that is that Stoke approached him but he wasn't happy with the offer? What other jobs did he apply for?
Well that was quick, in the end. Right choice. So, who gets to be the kingmaker? And who are the likely candidates? Mick McCarthy? Brian McDermott? One or more of Carsley, Reid, Cunningham, Duff, Keane on the staff? Or some washed-up hack on the prowl for a last decent gig? Let the speculation begin!
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

Paul Jewell.
Sky Sports will be showing clips of Harry Redknapp leaning out the window of the chopper collecting him from the jungle.
Are you John Giles in disguise ?
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Well, applied is too strong a word. That would look bad as well when you already have a job that you might want to keep.
Let's say he put the feelers out.
The players will have known that and won't have been too impressed.
Didn't think the FAI could afford to sack them? Hopefully "mutual consent" means no pay off?!
If attendances keep dropping, say by 15k per game, that's the guts of €500,000 in lost revenues four or five times a year. That has a knock-on effect on (re)negotiating sponsorships.
Of course, the cynic in me says JD only acted because the papers were beginning to include him in their 'change is needed' narrative.

I would imagine it's not the full wage but a compromised package. Also, the successor, whoever it is, won't break the bank in salary if they're trying to balance the book. McCarthy and Kenny would surely be relatively cheap.
And they lost money in the Wales and NI games due to low attendances. I'm sure the attendances would have been pretty terrible for the remaining games of the 18/19 season. I'm sure they'll be selling packages for the remaining games and they will sell quite well.
Agreed. Someone has ran the numbers and it wasn't pretty. There's probably an equation on the gate receipt and sponsorship differential and the salary of a new appointment being balanced against the MON wages for the next two years which arrives at a package which still leaves the overall net expenditure at less than the 4m mooted.
