Does he speak good english ?
Does he have international experience ?
Does he have Sky and not just the God channel
Will he be respected ?
Can he be at every game checking out potential players ?
Is he a disciplinarian ?
Is he any good with the media
Will he f**k off as soon as a better job comes along
Can we sing any songs with his name in them ?
would he take the job ?
What about his assistants - the son and the holy ghost ?do we know anything about them

Give him an interview at least

Aka, "dont let me show any sign of weakness or empathy to that cnut, I still remember what he did to me in saipan"

When he says stuff like that I just lose more respect for him. Still bitter and twisted.

Mourinho voted the fans choice on Newstalk's Off The Ball.

Juande Ramos is free. Let's get him in!

Not just fanatical delusional as well.

I think most people suggesting him are pretty much aware that he'd be unlikely to say yes. I'd have no problem with the FAI asking him though. :P

Souness & Venables want Ireland job

Souness for Ireland?

and?

I agree with kingdom hoop that we need some aul' lad with lots of international experience. Who's that fella that took about 4 teams to the world cup finals (though not necessarily in the one tournament), he's yugoslavian or croatian or F.Y.R. or something. His name ends in vik or vuk or something. One stipulation though, lets have a thorough medical on him first.

His is currently manager of Jamacia.

**Paddy Garcia** · 29/10/2007, 7:33 PM

This thing reminds me of the Marx Brothers.

I really don't want as a manager anyone who would have us!

Was reading the Cyprus match programme last night and this guy seems to be the real deal.

Before leading Cyrus to their best ever qualification campaign, in which they took 4 points (should have been 6) off Ireland, 3 off Wales and a point off Germany (at a time when Germany were playing for three points), he took Panathinaikos to the quarter finals of the Champions League in 2002, where they were narrowly beaten by Barcelona.

Looking at Wikipedia he seems to have had a few other clubs too (don't know how he did with these).

Next Ireland Manager? Is he worth a look?

**citizenerased** · 30/10/2007, 11:08 AM

there are worse candidates for the job

**OwlsFan** · 30/10/2007, 1:15 PM

There's only one Angelos Anastasiadis, one Angelos Anastasiadis, there's only one Angelos Anastasiadis ......

Love to see Laughing Bill getting his teeth around that name if he got the gig.

Do we need a separate thread for every potential candidate when there is a "next Irish manager thread"

?

**citizenerased** · 30/10/2007, 1:28 PM

yeah, why not

**Wolfie** · 30/10/2007, 1:47 PM

Given the breakdown of those who have reportedly shown an early expression of interest in the job, (granted it is early days) - would most of them, if not all of them, have expressed an interest regardless of whether a supposedly more lucrative salary were on offer?
