Not that this is anyway related to the delay in "recommending" a manager, but "sources" close to the accounts Dept in the FAI have revealed that the three wise men, Twodonray, have claimed 20,000 Euro each to date from the FAI for their endeavours. Let us all salute their historic sacrifice.
Trap isn't writing off the job anyway.
“Agents have been talking to agents but as yet no-one has contacted me directly to see if I am interested. Nothing is concrete at the moment, we shall have to see what happens.”
Encouraging.

Hopefully we haven't lost him to West Ham. That would be another disaster.
All will be revealed Sunday I suppose.

Looks like Faubert is the only person talking about it. I honestly had not heard that.

Faubert isn't supposed to be too happy at West Ham, especially with the training, - http://www.football365.com/story/0,1...116323,00.html - maybe he's trying to influence the appointment?

Can anyone summarise the RTE panel's view on the Gio & Liamo dream team?
I watched it last night while drunk but they were positive about it. Saying that Trappatoni has the CV and they compared it to Venables and that brought about a good bit of laughter. Bill then asked the point, what about the fact that he is overly negative and Giles produced a cracker Well if he is negative I hate to see what he would have won if he was positive and then said if you wanna win a league you have to win matches and if you want to win matches you have to score goals, so this idea that he is overly defensive is rubbish.
Giles also did not buy into the Keegan idea that you score 3 we score 4. Giles pointed out that first thing you do is get your defence right and dont give away cheap goals and he feels that Trappatoni would do that for us. They also said that Brady would be a great appointment. Thats about as much as I remember as it was about half one at night when I watched it.

Hopefully he'll see out his contract there (their league finishes at the end of April) and will be in place in time for the Serbia game.
Together with all our hearts.

First heard of this West Ham link a few weeks ago when searching for trapatoni stories in google news.

Its hard to know what to make of it reallyFormer Italian manager Giovanni Trapattoni is being linked with West Ham United's vacant Director of Football post.
The club are set to announce the new man imminently, and now the 68-year-old former Milan and Juve manager's name has been thrown into the hat.
Trapattoni has a long and illustrious career behind him and is currently in charge of Austrian outfit FC Salzburg, where he has spent the last two years.
Hammers chairman Björgólfur Guðmundsson is knwn to be a keen admirer of the Italian, who has won numerous titles as a coach since taking his first managerial role with AC Milan in 1974.
Rumours that Trapattoni is set to replace Alan Curbishley as West Ham United's manager are thought to be wide of the mark.
The Italian legend is the latest in a string of names to be linked to the new post. Previous names rumoured to be in contention for the job include Franco Baldini (now part of new England manager Fabio Capello's backroom staff) and PSV's technical director Stan Valckx.
2 reporters from the Star flew over to Salzburg. All they got for their troubles was a picture with Trap. No quotes at all. They just talked about how fit Trap was and how the players seemed to love his training.
John Johnson age 90 has just retired as one of the Trainers for the New York Giants.
He still looks to have another year or two left in him.
Wish they'd leave him the fook alone, given how ****ed off he was about the leak last week. Gob****es writing for a sorry excuse of a paper, they probably want Hell Tell in!
Philip Quinn was crying yesterday in the Mail, for Venables.
Swiss or Austrian, big deal!! The point is that he is managing a team in a second rate league and if he is Mr Wonderful, wtf is he doing there? Except perhaps that he's got one foot in the grave for **** sake.
We saw what happened with Bobby R. Give me a younger, hungry manager any day, and I don't mean Stan.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
