My thoughts exactly. Nicky Shorey likes him so he must be good. Good God.

I concur...

Stephen Hunt plays with Nicky Shorey who was picked by Steve McLaren who works with Terry Venables - the headhunting is complete! It's a foolproof system.

I'd still like to get Stephen Ireland's opinion though, if he doesn't approve of the new manager he may never play for us again.

hunt should really insert an extra helping of chicken casserole into that pie-hole of his because he's coming out with some real sh!te of late, what with the media getting the fans to get stan the sack and now this. lordy.

Coppell? FFS, are we sure he could pick a team without "having a few guinesses"

Exactly what we need, a cheque-book manager in charge of a team he cant buy for.

Look at the alternatives and it becomes clear why he got so many votes. Wasn't Coppell manager of the season last year btw? He never splashes out large amounts on players either so dunno where that remark came from.

Let's pick Liam Brady instead and really ****** our team up.

I agree with this part. I couldn't believe he made this comment when asked about signing doyle and long. Yet he's incredibly fond of the Irish some on here would have you know.

murphio's always posting up articles from the Mirror the day before it's published so I assume he works for them.

He's now saying Jewell will be interviewed tomorrow... I guess it'll be in one of tomorrows papers anyway.

**geysir** · 14/11/2007, 9:28 PM

Good spot there Eirebhoy
Paddy Power market is down.
Houllier, not a bad choice. I guess he had some contact with Brian Kerr about it.
I see the edit to Murphios post is that there is a Paul Jewell interview also.

He says his source for the info is the same one that gave him Stan.

Does Noely have the bottle to handle the tension or will he crack?

**eirebhoy** · 14/11/2007, 9:38 PM

Ladbrokes have taken the market down too. Yeah I'm nearly certain he works for the Mirror:

"The Wigan chairman was prepared to pay the former manager Paul Jewell �50,000 a week, plus a substantial bonus for keeping the struggling club in the Premier League."

Do the sums folks ... if he's turning down that sort of money to take the Irish job, I would be pleasantly surprised.

Me too but I feel he originally stepped down from Wigan due to the constant pressure and stress of the job. International management (and particularly managing the Ireland team) would be far less stressful and time consuming.

Just take Stan for example. He lasted nearly two years in the job. He wouldn't have lasted a month in a Premiership job with similar results to the ones he got for Ireland.

I've said that a couple of times. No manager I can think of has quit a top flight English job to manage any country but England.

Not sure Coppell would be class by the way.

**Newryrep** · 15/11/2007, 10:41 AM

Went with Roy Hodgson as the best realistic man for the job

**Thomo** · 15/11/2007, 2:58 PM

given the options mark lawrenson is CLEARLY the obvious choice

*sorry i must have been smoking the crack that everyone else is if anyone is suggesting, paul jewell, steve coppell et al. We need a world class manager, but we won't get one. we're probably going to get an ex prem manager who will be as mediocre as the last, unless the fai pay the position what its worth for the weght of expectation, then we'll be having this very same discussion in 4 years. unless we see some changes in the fai way of doing things, its only going to get worse. i fear we are doomed to mediocrity despite having a good young squad.

**carloz** · 15/11/2007, 6:52 PM

There are rimblings on another Football Forum that Jewell is to be announced as new manager tommorrow. Suppoesly Jonny Giles touched on it on Newstalk.

**geysir** · 15/11/2007, 6:57 PM

John Giles is SOURCE.
What did he say or not say.

**geysir** · 15/11/2007, 7:08 PM

Ok, I heard the news where they quoted Giles
which sorta went like this
I said that I would help the FAI in any way I can,
I can�t comment on that particular item (Jewell)
but I will talk to you in an extended program tomorrow
