Likewise if Russia qualify we wont get Hiddink, unless we wait til July, which the FAI should have done two years ago but they needed the revenue from friendlies.

Coleman, Jewell and O'Leary are available. What should be happening is someone with half a brain at the FAI contacting people like Hiddink, Wenger, Brady etc and seeking their advice on who is available (possibly someone under the radar, not a big name but a hungry, intelligent manager).

benekakker is with poland for another 2 years...why would he touch this mess..very depressing lads...joke..us irish fans are being ****ed on by the fai

Out of contract soon and not getting a new one. Irish conectons. Knows the players. Has played at the top level and has done well as a manager.

**drinkfeckarse** · 18/10/2007, 7:38 AM

Don't rate him personally but he couldn't get us any lower.

**R�iteoir** · 18/10/2007, 7:41 AM

Bruce is the English equivalent of Gareth Farrelly - a spoofer.

I doubt he'd want to leave his nice cushy well paid job in the Premiership to work for a gimp like Delaney

**mackannovic** · 18/10/2007, 8:52 AM

Steve Bruce should be approached
....with caution.

**razorb** · 18/10/2007, 9:16 AM

Bring Jack Back!
I think the best person available is an Aldridge and O'Leary partnership. Both have good experience of English football and would be familiar with the setup of the FAI.
Steve McLaren will be available soon too!

**paul_oshea** · 18/10/2007, 9:56 AM

May is suggest.......Leo Beenhakker

do you honestly think Delaney and co have heard of him? Seriously, i think NGs point is very good, sound out loads ofpeople, find out from respected individuals such as brady etc.

I think aldridge would be a great motivator, as cup runs show, international football is similar to this. I dont think he would have the tactical eptitude though, and he has been out now for a good while.

**citizenerased** · 18/10/2007, 9:59 AM

no more rinky dink coaches, we need a european coach with proven tactical and organisation skills, the cypriot coach anyway(have no idea how to spell his name) well organised, play good football with a definitive gamplan...

**gspain** · 18/10/2007, 10:00 AM

We need amanger who knows at least the basics. The EL maangers were laughing at the setup in San Marino.

Bruce could be an option. Paul Jewell is another to look at. We're not going to get somebody in a job. better to go for somebody who has been successful but just stayed too long and is now looking for work.

I'm not bothered whether they have Irish connections or not however I qwould like somebody who has managed in these islands and has been successful.

Stephen Kenny, Paul Doolin and/or Pat Fenlon to be brought on board to advise the new manager (if appointed).

Personally - I'd like to see an eL Panel of managers tasked with this

In all fairness shut the **** up. Would you let League One managers have input into the England job???

If our aim is to get in an international manager who needs advice from Eircom League flunkies we may give up completely.

One who does menial or trivial work (like managing a team of players far below international standard); a drudge.

Aldridge is the definition of rinky dink

**Ozymandias** · 18/10/2007, 10:52 AM

just on the myth that we are getting managers on the cheap...staunton is on �400K + and Robson �250k a year.....that is not exactly cheap.....hiidink is on less than staunton at russia...build in performance clauses for results and standings and pay 650K a year and you would deffo get someone decent
