here his record spot the league of ireland club he managed!!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Trapattoni

Already the Ireland manager I see

"Trapattoni who is the new Republic of Ireland manager was born in Cusano Milanino, in the province of Milan"

[eirebhoy]

ssn are clueless!

That's the sky sports website. SSN is a TV channel which would be about on par with the BBC website in terms of accuracy. ie. very accurate.

"Sky Sports News sources understand Giovanni Trapattoni is in talks with the Republic of Ireland over becoming their new coach"

That's about all from the above article that can be associated with Sky Sports News.

looks like we are replacing Bobby and Stan with Giovanni and Liam.

well you dont expect me to tape ssn, throw it up to youtube, and link it?

SSN read out unsubstaniated rumours, with no grain of truth or respectablity to them, on air as news. FACT

How do you know they're "unsubstantiated rumours with no grain of truth or respectability"? When SSN say that Trapattoni is having talks about the Ireland job then you can be sure he is having talks about the Ireland job.

[Billy Lord]

Who's the next tip for the Ireland job - Helenio Herrera? Vittorio Pozzo?

Just their past recording for making things up and saying them on air. for constantly being the only source for stories.
I mean on friday they said on air that Carlos Puyol, the captain of Barcalona and one club man, was in talks to join Tottenham
The difference is of course sometimes you can spot the fabricated bull**** and sometimes, like with trapattoni, its sounds semi realistic.

I just can't agree with that. It's on in my house regularly in the mornings and early afternoons so I've seen more than enough of it.

According to the link you posted.

"Sky Sports News understands that Tottenham want to sign Barcelona defender Carlos Puyol."

One man team my arse btw. He'd probably be gone from Barca if it wouldn't get Rijkaard the sack. I don't understand the reputation the channel has. I've never known it to get anything wrong that they claim as fact. The Houllier thing last week being the closest but they obviously got that from the FFF.

Maybe you're right and they're not as reliable as before though. I'm just overly biased towards the channel because of the reputation it has for being linked with the website and the rumour mill.

Thanks to Trapattoni, my huge green on the betfair market has now gotten bigger I think the FAI should string this process out for at least another year, I'll be a millionaire

Thank you betfair mugs

[eekers]

Thank you betfair mugs

are you ssn's source ?

[Bonovox]

Trapattoni now 4/1 and Venables back in to 6/4. This is all a scam and a fortune could be made on Venables each time he drifts like he did 2 hours ago. He will be announced this week. Trapattoni my ar$e!

[mypost]

Won nothing with five outta ten of the clubs he managed.

And what did Paul Jewell ever win??

[Paddy Garcia]

As the days go by Terry looks a better & better appointment.

[tetsujin1979]

As the days go by Terry looks a better & better appointment.

Only because anyone we would have considered better is now employed elsewhere
At best, he's gone from "not a chance" to "better than what's left"

[geysir]

The job has bi-passed Venables.

Totally bizzare betting on Trap on Betfair, a frenzied leap up to £155k in a couple of hours this afternoon then a deafening silence after 6pm.

[eekers]

And what did Paul Jewell ever win??

promotion to the premier league twice. why?

[eirebhoy]

Trapattoni's teams:

--------------Buffon--------------------
Panucci---Nesta---Cannavaro---Zambrotta
--------Perrotta-----Zanetti-------------
--Camoranesi--Totti----Del Piero--------
---------------Vieri--------------------


----------------Quim-------------------
Miguel-----Luisão----R.Rocha---D.Santos
-----------Petit------Almeida-----------
--J.Pereira-----Geovanni-------Simão---
-------------Nuno Gomes---------------


One thing going for him is that formation. Keane would be the lone striker. Hunt the Camoranesi/Pereira. 2 or Duff/McGeady/Ireland would fill the other attacking spots. Carsley and Steven Reid in central midfield. Hunt would be required to get back when possession is lost but the other 3 attackers would usually stay up and wait for the break.

It wouldn't be the most beautiful football and would probably spend most matches sitting back for large portions but I'd say he'd give us as good a chance as anyone of getting to the world cup.

[rovers77]

The job has bi-passed Venables.

Maybe he'll get the assistant manager job.

[deecay]

Taken from wikipedia at 11.34pm tonight on Trappatoni

"He is one of the 18,000 or so former footballers widely tipped to be the next Republic of Ireland manager. Primarily by bored message board posters and bookmakers anxious for a new name to generate further mug punters beating a path to their door."

I love it

[Bondvillain]

I blush.
