If Coleman or Lennon are appointed then everyone at the FAI should be sacked.
Lennon would be an appalling decision. If memory serves Coleman also did quite well at Fulham?
I would still go with Hughton/ Carsley or Bruce.
Handy way back in for Ronan Curtis if Coleman got the job.

Coleman had one good season with Fulham when he had Van Der Saar, Saha, Malbranque and Boa Morte in the team. After that - left Real Sociedad (then in the Segunda) after six months following a row with the club president - sacked by Coventry after 18 months - walked out of AEL after six months - did a decent job with Wales (but had a good squad including Gareth Bale in his prime) - sacked by Sunderland after six months - most recently, sacked by a club in China after less than a year. He hasn't had a job for the last 4 1/2 years. His period with Wales was a case of the right place at the right time with the right players (and Ireland still knocked them out of the 2018 WC).
The guy is a poser - and his record of lasting only a few months in most of his jobs should be a massive red flag.
Jeeesus Diggsy, that'a bit like being ok with a non alcoholic beer, a triple whiskey or a bag of yokes when your its your friends round. Pick a direction man, chose a philosophy.
Well I haven't had a yoke in awhile
I just want the bleeding to stop and I would go with Dr Hughton.
You can't spell failure without FAI
Didn’t McGeady or someone else in Sunderland set-up say something similar? I could be wrong

I would guess the only person pushing Chirs Coleman to be Ireland Manager is Chris Colemans agent. There is no chance he's in contention for the gig.
So Ghana just lost to Cape Verde, a nation of just over half a million, while playing pretty direct. Less possession, one shot on target and despite playing direct won fewer corners even. Egypt up next.
Ghana and Cape Verde are almost right beside each other in the world rankings; they've improved in recent years, probably because they've plenty of Portuguese-born players to call on.
It's not a good look for the CV though if he's eyeing up the Ireland job
Egypt needed a 97th-minute penalty to draw with Mozambique, so Ghana will probably have felt the group was opening up.
It's not, is it. No matter what spin anyone puts on his past doings or on what shape Ghana are in.
Good on Pico Lopes though! Who’s the last LOI player to win a game at a major tournament finals?
Pico Lopes, in 2021 AFCON.

And Houghton was attacked by a supporter in the a hotel after the game,not a good day for him…..
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Correct…bonus points for any others
Romuald Boco?Correct…bonus points for any others
Romauld Boco - 2010 AFCON
Another at this seasons AFCON is Charles Ondo, who was on loan at Waterford last season for a spell, with Equatorial Guinea. Kinda half counts since it's technically the 2023 AFCON.
Dante Leverock captained Bermuda at the CONCACAF Gold Cup in 2019 while on the books at Sligo Rovers.
Jeff Clarke had just finished the 1998-99 season with St Pats before winning the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup with Canada. Signed with Longford shortly after the tournament. A spell in America between Pats and Longford, so half counts.
Pascal Millien played 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup while at Sligo Rovers.
Avery John played the 2002 CONCACAF Gold Cup while at Bohs.
That's about all the procrastinating I can do from work for now.

Andre Burley was another one - played some games on loan at Waterford and played for St. Kitts and Nevis in the 2023 Gold Cup who are coached by Austin Huggins who is ex-Bohs.
