    Whoever we get I don't want nobs like Steve Bruce or Alex McLeish, we need a guy who will see the job through and not jump ship as soon as he makes an improvement or some other job comes along.

    Wanderly Luxemburgo....speaks English. He learnt it because he was preparing himself for his dream job at Man Utd - that's true btw

    Was going to be the next big thing until he failed at Madrid.

    He is corrupt as hell though...Harry Redknapp isn't a patch on this guy!

    With Don Howe and Givens expect to see Brady and O'Leary come right back into the picture. Givens will keep his job if either of these are appointed. And Howe used to coach both O'Leary and Brady. It is Bizarre to have a guy who is manager of the u21's selecting who his immediate boss will be. Many of the European managers will want to bring in their own people and that would include the u21 post. Can't see Givens going for that.

    The new manager wont be Givens's boss. His job is not dependent on whoever is the new manager. The u21 post is not included in the new man's brief.

    Nor was it when Charlton took over. But a strong character who wants to do things his way will bring his own people in. And Charlton indirectly forced Touhy out by coming into the dressing room while Touhy was manager of the then u21's and giving the team talk. Touhy knew he had to go to preserve his own diginity. Givens would be fully aware of that.

    I see your point. Our Don Givano will certainly have his antennas tuned in.
    All the new prospective manager has to do in the interview is mention discipline about 20 times, moan incessantly about the evils of mobile phones and be evangelical about the value of street leagues.

    Then Charlton wasn't fit to p'iss in Liam's pot.
    An act of ignorance rather than a serious attempt to impose his football -ahem- culture on our innocent youth.

    Charlton knew exactly what he was doing.

    Was never a huge fan of the kind of football Charlton played.....Although I find it bizarre the way some people readily dismiss a man with over 600 leagues appearances for Leeds, a world cup winners medal and who qualifed us for 3 main tournsments is laughable.

    Charlton

    I think its quite hilarious how people knock the Charlton era!!! He brought us into the quarter final in the world cup to be beaten by one goal that no-one that was around will ever forget!!!! Thats up to 8th place in the world rankings. Were these lads that slate these glorious Ireland days not down in the pub enjoying the terrific atmosphere that it created and the sheer buzz around Ireland back in 90'. How easily we forget. I do agree that Charltons methods of the long ball up to the front big man would not be suited to modern day football but proof is in the results back in the day that it did. Ireland has never seen such great success since Italia 90 and this is pushing 18yrs on now and still on a slide down the rankings, currently 32nd and slipping fast!

    As far as the new manager goes, no-one thats appointed will suit everyone but what we need is the lads to do the business on the pitch instead of blaming the manager non stop. Its so much easier to sack a manager instead of getting rid of our players that are over-rated and act like they are gods gift with an ego to match the size of their over inflated wages.

    Seeing as Vegetables is being considered, how about someone like Eddie May? Or Roddy Collins?

    was in china the time he was their manager, and he made a complete pigs ar se of that job, China had a decent team bit couldnt even get to the last group stage............the chinese gave him the job cause he was dutch and a football legend..........and boy did they come to regret that decision

    Hodgson would me my choice at the moment

    I was looking at the candidates in the betting list for the Scottish job, the top 20 listed are all Scots.
    We have about 3 Irish in for our job.

    While an Irishman at the helm would be welcome, and something to be proud of, I personally wouldn't care if there were 20 Martians on the shortlist as long as the most qualified men with the best credentials were on it too.
    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.

    Kinnear and Daglish are 2 of the candidates to be interviewed this week according to Five live. I had a feeling Daglish might come into the reckoning but surely Kinnear's days are over.
