I have a feeling that Martin O'Neill will be/has been approached. He's not in a position to commit to a premiership team due to personal circumstances but this role might interest him. If he doesn't go for it Kerr should probably get another contract. The players must shoulder a lot of the blame, but as Ali G once said "you can't polish a turd"
how is it inevitable ?
Bobby Robson has hedged his bets...
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/st...345993&cc=5739
Sir Bobby Robson appears to have ruled himself out of becoming the next manager of the Republic of Ireland as speculation continues to mount over the future of current boss Brian Kerr.
The Irish failed to qualify for next summer's World cup finals in Germany and Robson is being tipped as a possible successor if Kerr is axed this week.
But speaking on BBC Radio Five Live's Sportsweek programme, the former England manager said: 'I have no reaction to the stories. It is pure speculation. As far as I am concerned the FAI have a very good manager in Brian Kerr at the moment and I wish him well.'
However, former Leeds legend Johnny Giles, the first man to be appointed player manager of Ireland in 1976, believes Kerr's contract will not be renewed.
'In the end we finished in fourth position,' said Giles. 'We didn't beat any of the top teams in the group and drew against Switzerland and Israel twice, you don't qualify from your group unless you make a break somewhere along the way. We didn't do that.
'We finished the tournament badly. We played badly against Cyprus and I thought very poorly against Switzerland.
'If and when the job becomes available they will have at least 200 applicants so they have got to sort something from that.
'A few months ago Brian Kerr's people approached the FAI for an extension to his contract but the FAI made it clear they wouldn't speak about it until after the World Cup campaign which didn't look good from Brian's point of view and we didn't qualify. So it hasn't made the conditions any better for him. The general consensus is they will not renew Brian Kerr's contract.'
How old would he be by the time of our next match ?? 78 ?
Daglish might be an interesting choice. It all seems like a Hobson's choice to me after O'Neill.
There is no such thing as a miracle cure, a free lunch or a humble opinion.
Reports in some of the tabloids here claim that Fergie has been approached by the F.A.I. to take on the managers job with Roy Keane as his assistant. It actually quotes Denis Irwin saying "he has it from very reliable sources".
What do you think IF it was right? Think I like the sounds of it myself....
sounds like TABLOID LIES once again
I take everything in the tabloids with a pinch of salt but on this occasion they have quoted Denis Irwin which is unusual. Nothing back home about it I take it?
Its definitely not tabloid lies. Delaney wants Fergie. He has no chance of getting him though.
He may well have been approached but he doesnt have the job. The FAI wouldny be able to pay his wages and why bow out of club football ?
And who is that I wonder ? Roy Keane"My very reliable sources say there has been contact between the FAI and my old boss," Irwin told the Daily Star
I'd find it hard to support Ireland is that whiskey nosed aggressor was at the helm. We need a professional coach, not an ageing bully.
Have Boot Disk, will travel
What!! Ferguson would be a great appointment. He's a great manager.
He was a successful manager, with huge financial backing, in a poor league. We're seeing now, when the chips are down, that he's an average manager.

I think thats unfair everything goes in cycles - the balance of power in England went (roughly speaking) => Liverpool - Manchester United - Arsenal - and now Chelsea. These teams singularly defined and marked their era. Football being football Liverpool managed to win the CL outside their 'era' of domestic dominance as such but roughly speaking Uniteds time is gone - hastened by the off pitch re structuring. The tide is with chelsea now and theres realistically damn all Fergie can do about it.
What are you on about?
He didn't have that much money at Aberdeen yet he broke the old firm dominance which no one has done since. He also won a European trophy with them.
His most successful team was built around players brought through the youth system he started. He had the balls to replace older established players with these young players.
The money that he spent on players over the last while was actually generated during his time as manager.
Anyway, money isn't a guarantee of success just ask Kevin Keegan, Gerard Houllier, Claudio Ranieri etc.
If anything Chelsea is a fluke. If Abramovich hadn't turned up it would still be United and Arsenal vying for the Premiership.
how a team or club comes to dominate the resources and therefore the league is irrelevant - the sheer scale of Abramovich's wealth makes comparisons with the previously dominant clubs a bit of a joke - but cast your mind back a few years and Manchester United were breaking the than transfer records to land the defining players of their generation eg Keane - they had no single abromovich figure to lambast but they still ****ed off all the other clubs because of their resources and profits
I see no difference between them and Chelsea - only the scale has changed - but money always goes that way...
