If reports are true then it pretty much has to be Hughton then, unless Barry is a serious contender. Though I will allow myself a laugh at Jurgen Klopp trying to get a gegenpress going out of some of our players.
If Carsley has indeed turned it down we're in a complete mess.

Bookies have Carsley out to 4/1 and Lennon into 11/4. Suspect they have little clue either but will represent where the money is going.
Sickening if this is true. There's no other candidate that I'd even be reasonably ok with at this point. Hughton, Lennon or Roy will make me vomit
Its really not that complicated!!!
So Dan McD is saying there are concerns about his appetite for the gig. Miguel Delaney stated something similar but he had been saying that Carsley was warming to the idea.
Quite simply, he's either happy where he is or wouldn't want the Ireland gig anyway.
So, the FA are telling him he's in the running or their preferred candidate to replace Southgate? Or he's waiting for that to be communicated?
Or, would he not want the gig anyway for Ireland? Is he concerned about the package, working for the FAI or the prospects of success with the players at his disposal?
Or a bit of both - would prefer an outside shot at the England gig to getting the Ireland gig at all.....
Like most things it possibly comes down to money. If Carsley is looking to me made an offer that he can't refuse then it's unlikely that the FAI would have the funds to do that. If it's down to 100k either way or something and both sides are leaking stories as a negotiation tactic then it might still get done. For me it's not that Carsley is some must have managerial genius or anything like that, it's that I'd want to get him in because the alternatives being suggested are absolutely terrifying.
Just give it to Hughton he has the best CV anyway. I don't know why Ireland fans always want the left field choice. Carsley has been a caretaker Manager 4 times and managed some under age teams it is hardly a clear marker for success. Would agree that Lennon and Keane are not fit for the job.
Barry, Eustace, Hughton. The only other alternatives that we should be entertaining.
F*ck Neil Lennon. And if Carsley wants to stay on because of an outside shot at managing England or something commercially motivated, then he can f off too.
And while I am ranting, how the f*ck does an idiot like Packie Bonner find himself in a spot where he has so much influence on the direction of the MNT?
If he bails out I'd only be interested in Hughton or Poyet of the candidates mentioned.
Just give it to Damian Duff or Seamus Coleman after that. Better someone untested as someone we know isn't up to the job.

how is hughton still being mentioned by people? he was chased out of ghana, hes finished.
I suppose the FAI can't afford Mark Robins? A good Championship manager for a Championship standard team.
I think it'll be Lennon now. Decent enough choice.
Won't Lennon's " personal history " just blow up in the media if he gets the job ~ Why would the FAI do this to itself ?
