In Trap we trust

Does anyone find it to be quite funny that the current world champions rated this man so highly a few years ago that they gave him the top job for two campaigns....yet some of the Irish fans dont think he's good enough for us.

Yarp. It's kinda bonkers that people are picking holes in a prospective manager that is far beyond what we could have realistically expected at the start of this process. Perhaps we deserve Venables after all.Originally Posted by Ireland4ever

Going to West Ham?

Julien Faubert's translator seems to think so...
Are we to take from this that Trapattoni really does want out of Austria (a story which the Heddled and the Indo have both recounted in passing over the last couple of days)? Or is it merely an empty rumour constructed upon the fevered rumour-mongering going on here? Thoughts?

Hammers ready to open Trap door
2008-02-06 14:45:05
West Ham winger Julien Faubert claims Giovanni Trapattoni has emerged as a possible candidate to fill the club's director of football vacancy.
The French winger put the Italian coach's name firmly in the frame after being questioned on a French radio programme.
Trapattoni has also been linked with the Republic of Ireland vacancy, with Billy Davies and Terry Venables also thought to be in the running.
Trapattoni, who is 68, is currently the coach at Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg, but for a man who has been coaching teams since 1974, he may well jump at the chance to act as a director of football.
Faubert revealed a French-speaking Italian West Ham employee, who helps the midfielder with translation, told the £6million summer signing that the 68-year-old's arrival is a possibility.
Faubert said: "Trapattoni would be a huge boost for our tactics because we have gaps in that area of the game, on the defending and position aspects."
Hammers manager Alan Curbishley may not be too pleased to hear that last remark, but the possibility of bringing someone with Trapattoni's experience to the club, is not one to dismiss lightly.
The Italian is Italy's most successful club coach ever, having won seven league titles with Juventus and Internazionale, though his last Scudetto was in 1989. He was the Juventus coach in 1985 when they beat Liverpool to win the European Cup in the Heysel Stadium and in 1997 he became the first Italian coach to win a league title abroad with Bayern Munich.
In fact 'Il Trap' is one of only two managers to win the domestic league in four different countries after also guiding Benfica and Red Bull to their respective titles. However his spell in charge of the Italian national team was a disappointing one. The Azzurri bowed out of the 2002 World Cup with an extra-time defeat to South Korea in the last 16 and they failed to advance beyond the group stage at Euro 2004.
The only other man that has been linked with the job has been Dutch coach Stan Valckx, who is currently the director of football at PSV Eindhoven.
You cant blame him. A man of his stature shouldnt have to fight off a bloody challenge from El tel for a job with us
if the fai had any sense they shold have offered Trapattoni the job before christmas
Isn't he under contract to some non-entity of a Swiss club and perhaps they weren't aware of his interest before Christmas?
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
We all said, dont rush get the right man, now we're whingeing because they havent done it yet. The easy answer would have been to get Venables but they have shown they want to get the best possible. Whoever they pick will come in with a far better record than any previous Irish manager so that is something.
Eh its actually Austrian, take out a map of your Europe for **** sake, its Salzburg and they are the Austrian Champions.

I think many people on this board (and elsewhere) mistakenly believe that OUR interest in him is equally balanced by HIS interest in us. (or,even , that they know he is aware of where Ireland is)
Im not convinced, and I personally think he has as much chance of being the Slovenian entry in this years Eurovision as he has of being our next manager.
On the way into the stadium, an elderly San Marino Steward waved us in and said "Tonight, may the best team win"
And they nearly did.
Well said Neil .. and they nearly qualified for the Champions League this season .. but for a late Shaktar goal.
Agree with BV above. THink theres no chance of getting Trappetoni. Venebles is interested alright because nobody else would give him a job and apparently he wants to add another storey onto some gaff he has in the bahamas.
