Experience not vital for national job � Delaney

That is the worst ever comments you could possibly hear from the main man of Irish Football. He should sacked for saying that

Something tells me that the FAI want to spend as little money on a new manager, so they save some for themselves.

Aside from all the obvious jokes i think this will be continue as classic FAI-esque quote whenever anything goes wrong...

But a sharp knife loosly sheathed is essential.

Off topic but Rooney brought my nephew and his friend into the dressing room after the Romania match where they got to chat with all the players from Roy Keane to Nicky Colgan. I can just imagine Delaney do such a thing.

God I hate that man.

Hmm I didnt think you thought that way EB Where you not around for the time of the Red Card Protest?

The defence coaches lack of experience at Walsal hasn't held them back...

So if experience doesn't count, how do you select your manager, by having friends who can hook you up with Bobby Robson as your "mentor"???

EXPERIENCE NOT VITAL FOR ENGLAND BOSS - SHEARER
Alan Shearer does not think the next England manager needs to have much
experience.
The Football Association are seeking a successor to Sven-Goran Eriksson after
it was announced the Swede will leave the post after the World Cup.
And former England captain Shearer, who claims it would be ``a bit premature''
for him to be linked with the job, points to Holland's Marco van Basten and
Germany's Jurgen Klinsmann as examples of leading players who have recently been
appointed national coaches.
The Newcastle striker, who would prefer to see an Englishman take over from
Eriksson, told BBC Sport online: ``Marco van Basten and Jurgen Klinsmann did not
have any experience before taking charge of Holland and Germany.
``They are both doing reasonably well so I don't know how important that
is.''
Shearer added: ``People will say he should be English but we want success.
Ideally it would be with an Englishman, though.
``The job is about getting results.''
Shearer does not think the prospect of Eriksson leaving will affect England's
chances of winning the World Cup in Germany this summer.
``It did not affect us when Terry Venables announced he was standing down as
England boss ahead of Euro 96,'' said the 34-year-old, who was surprised by
Monday's announcement that Eriksson was to leave.
``Nobody really expected it to be honest but I am not surprised by the
outcome.
``And no-one knows yet whether it is the right or wrong decision - only time
will tell.
``Fingers crossed, if England go on and win the World Cup then it will be
right. If we don't, then people will say it was wrong - we have to wait and
see.''
