    MON's final game in charge was against Denmark. It was like night vs day. Our conclusion was to sack MON, spend 48 hours thinking about his replacement and in the end hire the poor man's MON.

    It's like some kind of tragic comedy.
    Says it all for me. Hire a man and ask him to transform the whole system for a third of what we pay our manager. I'm sure the FAI would have got Kenny for 400k. Kenny is capable of doing a job with the home based youngsters and possibly yielding much better domestic players in ten years time. But hey who cares about the future when you've got all the money in the world

    Need to think about it. It gives Kenny the experience at international level people were saying he was lacking for the senior job. On the other hand, what happens if Mick does an amazing job?

    Yeah, I agree. Kenny can learn a lot from a two-year involvement with the national team. Obvious issue is what happens if someone who got Dunfermline relegated turns out not to be up to the Ireland role in two years' time.

    Slightly surprised Mick is ok with the deal, but if he can do half as good a rebuilding job as last time, it'll be a good appointment.

    Though there is a slight feeling of the FAI playing to the populist gallery in it all.

    Then he’ll have paved the way well for Kenny.

    I agree. I just wonder have the FAI thought about it at all or just acted blindly?

    Though let's not forget the fact that they were probably considering options a while ago.

    Overall, I do think it's a good option though

    Was about to say the same thing. Really happy with this.

    From Mick's perspective, he's 61 in 2020 and he's earned 2.4m in the previous 2 years. Would he even want to continue? I'm sure that was discussed.

    I’m really happy with this even if it shores up JD’s position.

    A guy comparing Kenny to Michael O’Neill on Twitter made me think: ONeill did/does a super job but he had a nightmare first year. We can’t afford that.

    The U21s being managed properly for once is going to be crucial. We know the 19s are a good bunch. The continuity will be great.

    I wonder what Dokter’s position is if Kenny also has oversight from 15s up. I think he’s primarily a planner / structure designer rather than a coach / coach motivator so I expect he stays. I’d say he deserves too, to be fair.

    And Dundalk will be weaker

    Closer to three years, he didn't get his second win until 31 months into the job. Lost to Luxembourg, and Azerbaijan in that time.

    That's all very blue sky. He's more likely to be offered the under 21 job and be told prove himself at that level before he gets any shout at the senior role.
    Proud of myself here in light of the RTE article.

    Apparently McCarthy had no idea about Kenny taking over after 2 years and wants the clause removed.

    Classic FAI, don't you go changing Delaney, you crazy beautiful idiot.

    If McCarthy know nothing about Kenny taking over in 2020 - I'm thinking that part of the story is nonsense and Kenny is just getting the U21 job and overseeing the youth teams.

    Mick wants another 2.4mill over 2 years. Just give him 2 years & see how he does.

    The FAI (Delaney) truly are a joke. They’ve got McCarthy to sign up for a secondment!!! But didn’t tell him. Classic.
