    After Euro 2008, which Greece look like they will qualify for, I would say he has achieved everything he can there. Especially given that he was the first foreign 'Greek of the Year' in 2004. So our chances of luring him to our sticken footballing nation would be much improved.

    He also has experience of club management, in Germany mostly, yet could provide a useful outside perspective.

    I don't expect him to get the job, still, he's my choice nevertheless.

    Would you expect him to walk out on Greece before or after they defend their European championship title for us who haven't come within an asses roar of qualifying for same?

    I can't provide you with concrete proof after a quick search, but Football Manager 2008 says he can (for what its worth) and I'm sure he got interviewed at Euro 2004 on the beeb.

    I'll have a look around.

    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.

    In any case I cant see how he will leave Greece after qualifying for the Euros again. I'm sure he would want another crack at qualifying for the WC with them.

    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.

    Why thank you. Its a pity The Green Hornet does not like the skills of Andy Reid rather than young Shane Long.

    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.

    Ah man, if Peter Reid's name is mentioned two more times he might just appear from the ether and become our manager. Begone Reid.

    As laughable as Reid its nothing to the hiliarity that would ensue if John Aldridge got the job.
