You obviously come from the same school of thought as John Delaney, which gives your opinion a zero rating in my book.

Well to be fair to jockser I think he was making the point that some people put public speaking as one of the main credentials you need to be a top class manager. There is no doubt that Bobby Robson was fare more comfortable infront of the media than Stan was. But by all accounts from the journalists on the Hub last night, the minute he did one on one interviews Staunton was very talkative and informative. The players certainly responded to him in 2002 as that team was pretty average without keane but Staunton showed leadership skills after the debacle of Saipan. I think that is more important than whether he can crack a few joke or give great press conferences. Brian Kerr gave a great 1st press conference
In Trap we trust
LOL well seeing as this is your "insight" into football i couldnt give a toss to your opinion either ladSome of us think there's more to being a manager than having played a lot of games.

I agree that there is indeed more to a manager than having played a lot of games. However, I do not put his public speaking performance top or any where near top of that list. Did you ever hear Bob Paisley, Kenny Dalglish even Fergie in his early years.
The appointment of Stan clearly had nothing to do with insight into football. You're on the side of John Delaney and therefore against the majority of people on here, "lad"!

Exactly lad! i just couldnt have been bother to try explain that to some people in here though.....they want big performances at press conferences......
If by some miracle, Stan knows something about coaching, he'll need to impart that knowledge onto the players. How do you expect him to do that!
For someone who speaks at a rate of 1 word per minute, he wont get much said during the halftime break.

No but silly remarks on boring conferences are just that....silly
Im not on Delaneys side....i dont think stan is the best choice. I just commented on a few irrelevent comments on how stan will be as manager
The fact you say im against the majority in here is again a bit silly "lad" isnt it.....
LOL thats just and ignoratant statement. You have no idea what Stan knows or doesnt know about coaching..... we will all just have to wait and see wont we. Your comment on him speaking at 1 word per minute is just silly again
What does "ignoratant" mean?LOL thats just and ignoratant statement. You have no idea what Stan knows or doesnt know about coaching..... we will all just have to wait and see wont we. Your comment on him speaking at 1 word per minute is just silly again

Peader, you know well there is a major difference between speaking at a press conference and speaking to your "peers" as our new boss will be doing most of the time. I still do not agree that public speaking and being a top class manager go hand in hand. However, I do agree that the need and ability to communicate is vital, from what I have seen so far I am reasonably confident that he can do it and do it well. Time will tell of course.
Oh God another one who points out typos....mybad!
I suppose you think that's acceptable, jockser Delaney, do you!
It's reasonable to hire a man for the national coaching job, even though no one knows the extent of his coaching knowledge/ability!
He had his chance to alay our fears somewhat, in the press conference yesterday but what do we get?!
Some tripe taken straight out of the George W. Bush book of shíte.

I'll be waiting to see if performances pick up before I make any real judgments, but I thought the press conf was OK. Certainly no further reason for any doubts anyone may have had beforehand. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, not reading the recipe.
i dunno ....ask marco van basten.
Can you not just give it a rest until we see the performances and then make your mind up instead of making judgements from press conferences?
Well said sir! Lets give Staunton and his team a chance!
What could he have said to allay your fears exactly?
The Press Conference was just a PR formality/courtesy. It was no different to any other similar conference I've heard.
"I'm not up to the job. Bobby is going to run the show until a qualified coach can be secured."
Something along those lines might have done the trick.

I don't know about you but I'd be reluctant to eat the first pudding ever made by someone with zero pudding-making experience....
