" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
can we get a poll going? I don't seem to be able to set one up. I'd be very surprised if the two bookies favourites even feature in the top 5. It has to be realistic i.e. no Mourinho within the choices, but I think it would be an interesting exercise.

Rehhagel is also a deft and ruthless club politician. He is notorious for restructuring clubs so that he wields absolute power, making friends with powerful people and using them to eliminate the opposition. He prefers the system of a benign dictatorship. His way of handling a club - in a competent and innovative, but also highly patronizing and condescending way - has been immortalized as ottocracy, a pun on his name and also a mix of the words democracy and autocracy.
He should get on with Delaney.

I think if we presented it as the challenge it is. A half decent squad of players, with some young lads coming through, a public prepared to love football and a different test in a part of Europe he hasn't managed in before -he could be tempted.
I would say he is a realistic candidate, I'm not guaranteeing he'd take it if asked, but I'd say there's more chance of him than Louis van Gaal.
Not that I dispute the truthiness (see Stephen Colbert) of this particular piece of information. However, as we know from the comments added to John Delaney and Steve Staunton's wikipedia entries after particularly disastrous results, it is not necessarily the most reliable source of information. Possibly added by a disgruntled fan/chairman/opponent/wife/etc.

Don't think that Atkinson is realistic, I'd imagine that the FAI might think that he has too much baggage with him.
I did meet himself and Andy Gray in Yokohama at the world cup, sound guys, directed us to where there was free beer been given away. Got absolutely soused on free Japanese beer. Ah, the good old days.
