Don't kid yourself. His company are used by the FAI quite a lot and he'd definitely know way before us. The Venables thing seems another opne of these money following money type bets...

Is it a done deal or a rumour gone mad ????????????

I think you've been reading too many Evening Heralds with a stupid thread title like that

I'd be a bit worried that he's just taking the job to top up his pension. Seems to me he's never been a serious manager in about 10 years just a couple of bit part roles here and there.

Back up on line with PP:
TV: evens
Stan: 2/1
Gus Hiddink: 33/1

Looking more like Stan???

Well he (Verry Terribles!) has said on Sky Sports News this morning that he hasn't been approached by the FAI or hasn't applied either.....phew!

**Hither green** · 09/11/2005, 10:07 AM

BBC reckon "However, the BBC understands that the FAI has made contact with the former England coach" and his agent Leon Angel (what a fantastic name) has apparently declined to comment.

They also quote the FAI as saying "The process is ongoing". It'll be ongoing forever when you haven't a f***ing clue what you're doing.

Terry Venables

Poor choice if true, Jesus Stephen Kenny or Rico could do a better job than him

**NeilMcD** · 09/11/2005, 10:27 AM

Lads all the bookmakers do is make money out of betting. They do not offer views on who they think will get the job or not. If lots of people put money on Venables then they respond to the market simple as that. These next manager things are a joke. I would say it will be after Christmas before we get a manager in place. I reckon a January appointment in time for the draw for Euro 2008

As a Leeds fan I thought I'd seen the back of Verry Terribles,once in a lifetime is enough I can assure you,anyway if true expect to see players playing out of position,and a lovely christmas tree formation,he might even drive Duffer to Italy as he once said about Dacourt and he might even try and get Paul Okon and Irish passport

I am crying here at work.

This has to be a sick joke.I d rather have Mick the pirck back than that english mercenary,the mans as bent as a nine euro note.Lets not forget his attitude that the mighty england should beat `lesser footballing nations`such as Ireland as a matter of course.Even the bunch of dodgy aul fellas runnin the FAI would be no match for the english wide boy.

**shakermaker1982** · 09/11/2005, 12:38 PM

why is stan getting such a strong backing? What experience has he got as a manager? TBH I'd rather have El Tel than O'Leary but that isn't saying much. I've seen Megson getting a mention but why not Warnock? Not my cup of tea

**dandewolf** · 09/11/2005, 12:48 PM

I've heard it's a 31 month deal to take him past the Euros worth 5 million euros!!!
I don't like the bloke but I've just emptied my Betfair account on him so I win either way!

and mr one poster can you tell us your source?

**drinkfeckarse** · 09/11/2005, 12:54 PM

If it was/is Venables that gets it then you can be sure he'll be on huge money. He has a high opinion of himself and doesn't come cheap. He walked away from Spurs and Leeds with massive pay-offs.

The above figure is something I'd believe that he'd look for but surely the F.A.I. couldn't aford that???
