    Price is crashing on Betfair , bookies arent taking any more bets on him !!!

    While I would use a handful of salt judging from the betting industry, Venables isn't a big surprise really. He has most of the boxes ticked so if he can show that he wants it he is a contender. Not my first choice thats for sure but would do a reasonable job.
    A man is never really poor,
    if he can still laugh.

    Hard to know what to think of this one. Obviously has vast amounts of experience, at both club and international level but would he take it seriously? seems like a funny question to ask but he seems to be a bit of a joker to me. Maybe stan beside him as an assistant, ready to take the reigns when terry goes? Would be interested to hear peoples thoughts on this one, me at the moment 50-50. Need more time to think it through.
    one shot... Bang Bang!!!

    dont want him near the country never mind managing our national team. absolute joke if this happens. does anyone think he will bring the enthusiasm or passion to the job that is currently required? i doubt it. how many of his recent appointments has he lasted more than a few months in?? he'll come in, milk it money wise for all its worth and then leg it. if its true it will set us back years

    He has drifted out to 1/3, that gives some hope.

    It would break my heart if Terry Venables got the job.

    Any (unlikely) victory Ireland had would be tainted beyond all value, if it were guided by the hands of this crook.

    Not trying to be smart but it looks to me to be a bookies bluff again .. price shortens, people wade in and then price goes out again until another red hot favourite appears. I don't think the headhunting phase has even started yet .. and the FAi did say they would take their time to find the right man. So why the rush to appoint Venables?

    According to RTE News: The betting company saw the steady flow of support for the Englishman in the Cork area, but within an hour the rumour had spread nationwide. Maybe they are trying to launder some of the Northern Bank cash!!!!

    I hope that is the reason and not that he is actually going to get the job!

    This would be an absolute disaster to Irish football. The man is a crook and what sort of passion does he have towards anything Irish. Fcuk off you imbecile.

    Ladbrokes: “It may be a red herring – but weight of money would suggest it’s a done deal.

    “Next manager markets are volatile at the best of times and a few quid can change the betting quite quickly.

    “But we tried to stay on the right side of this one as quickly as possible - and may just have failed.”

    Paddy Power has taken it off line in last 30 minutes or so. Reckon we will know tomorrow if it is a done deal or else Stan will resume as favourite.
