He was shown up last night tactically by the Sevilla management.

    Don't scoff! I heard that John Delaney told all prospective managers that John O'Shea had to play every game no matter what. Hence, we got Stan.

    Just thought I'd resurrect this post because he may be out of a job soon as I predicted before he was even appointed. The same press that was calling for his appointment, will hound him out.

    Strange world.

    If I had to play John O'Shea every game I'd stick him in on the wing out of harm's way

    So he's sacked with the following statement:

    "I would like to thank Steve for the work he has done since taking on the position last summer. His commitment to the job could not be questioned and I wish him the best for the future.

    "The recruitment process for the new coach begins now and we will do everything to get the right man for the job."


    Sound familiar except the absence of "mutual consent"?

    Now the tabloids will pick Martin O'Neill and then crucify him when that doesn't work out as well. Remember you read it here first!

    Martin O'Neill ruled himself out of that gig. What amazes me is that nobody has seriously considered him for our job. After all he's the best qualified Irishman for the gig.

    He said he wasn't interested before Stan got the job and I can't blame him, he's too good to manage either Irish team

    I see some English papers are suggesting Shearer!! What managerial experience has he got? Another Stan?

    If his punditry is anything to go by, then he will be - half time VS Croatia: "they, just, em, um, need to get in amongst them".
    All goals, yellow and red cards tweeted in real time on mastodon, BlueSky and facebook
