at least we wont read any more stories about keano on the lash in lillys or wherever!! Plus he will have them wholly concentrated on one thing!I'm not making any point here other than pointing it out but I see today that Philippe Troussier has converted to Islam and now goes by the name Omar!

you cant buy players for Ireland so............
He'd be rightly fooked so, only went up last year due to a £6m stg cash injection, big spend for the championship.....
and took them from last to first. still some achievment. didnt he offload nearly as many players as he brought in anyway?
"Mr Trousers" has now thrown his hat in the ring. Best realistic candidate so far I'd say!
In Trap we trust
Robbie Keane anyone??I wonder who Sadlier spoke to!! Harte by any chance?! Did anyone read that article in the Sunday Indo? Some journo said that one of the Ireland squad "with experience outside the Premiership" thought Staunton was the worst manager he had ever played for. I bet Harte is delighted he spoke to that muppet.
I think Troussier would have been a good choice before our "golden era"... when we were a team of complete underdogs that had no real expectations (like Japan, South Africa). We now have real expectations (whether justified or not) so I reckon we need a different type of manager.
Also, could the renowned diplomats and intellectuals like Robbie Keane that play for Ireland handle having a Muslim coach without causing the dressingroom to lose respect for the manager (again)...?
For me the man has to be Gerard Houllier, his CV speaks for itself

he has managed internationlly and has done an unreal job in cup competitions which is what international football really is. Hes free at the moment and i honestly believe he wouldnt mind the task of taking over the Rep of Ireland. What do you guys think.
He would be my choice too. But isnt is now the Technical Director for FFF?

"Jacques Santini...will be greeted in every dugout of the country by "one-nil, one-nil" - Clive Tyldsley, 89th minute of France-England June 13, 2004.
"Ooooohhhh Nooooooo" Bobby Robson 91st minute.
I wouldn't be using his internatonal record with France to put forward an argument for him!
Also I don't think club cup competitions are anything like international football.......
Yes - Humpnries got that wrong. Otto has already qualified Greece after beating Turkey away in the last round of qualifiers.
Finland still have a chance. If the unthinkable happens and they beat Portugal in Lisbon on the final day they should qualify. Worse place finish will be 4th in their 8 team group because they are 5 points clear of 5th place Belgium and have Azerbaijan at home in next game. I peronally think they will finish 3rd behind Poland / Portugal and ahead of Serbia.
I voted Hodgson and I've touted him on here already. I wanted him before we got Staunton and what he's done with Finland only strengthens my resolve.
Voted for Coppell, solid personality and gets players to work to their full potential.
Hopefully would not be afraid to drop players if required
it's a good thing that i read this twice. the first time i read it i thought it read 'i throw my trousers in the ring' and i was like hang on there a minute, before realising that could be fun!!
"....until Ray Houghton got the ball and stuck it in the net!!"
I put in for Souness as I think he's temprament and spirit are well suited to international football, especially to a country who's players have no heart for the fight
i agree it would be fun and i think it should be the start of a new tradition whereby all managers interested in the Irish job throw their trousers into some sort of ceremonial ring on the 6-1 news.
Just a thought.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
