    I gravely doubt there's a worse one out there in international football anyway. I suspect you'd have to drop well outside the FIFA top 100 to find another country that would consider him for the job.

    There are a couple of characters that I wouldn't want as Irish manager rather than Stan.
    I'd definately be gutted if he was replaced with David O'Leary in the morning.
    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

    How can you say that Risteard!? As much as I think O'Leary has his faults I'd take him in a second over Stan who looks so far out of his depth he can't be saved.

    i know they missed out on WC94 but can't think of any other major tournaments they missed out on.

    sven was an unmitigated dissaster as their manager. think on an investment / return basis. he was one of the top paid managers in world football, the highest paid national team boss, and he never even got to a semi-final. he was supposed to be the tactical genius who brought england onto the next level. he failed miserably and became a caricature of a benny hill randy andy mr. burns style person, with the personality of a bowl of soup and the tactical nous of a lumberjack.

    although england's main fault and our major strength for the last 20 years or so was our ability to play better as a team than our individual strenghts, in recent times, unfortunately, our over paid nancy boys who parade as a national team have nestled into the underperforming levels of our supposid illustrious neighbours

    Neither know how to manage.
    He'd be as bad as Staunton but the fact that he'd be new would mean the pain would last longer as we would have a 'new era'

    I can already hear O'Leary spelling out that we're building for the future and that the team are "only babies".

    That nipper Carsely has loads of potential for the future.

    I'd say Collymore might do a better job but i'll give you Gazza alright..

    ... so we've established the only person worse that Stan to manage Ireland would be Gazza. At least they have the same verbal abilities.

    I'd still prefer Gazza because he'd be a lot more entertaining.

    You reckon they're going to go down with a seven point start on Charlton with eight games to go?

    Also, why is their worst Premiership position of any importance? That's just an arbitrary time which in this case is 15 years. Really bugs me that all stats now start from 1992...

    We had a manager at our club last year. Under 10s. Shocking he was. Stood on the sideline and did nothing. Hadnt got a scooby. The parents wanted the Chairman sacked. So the Chairman sacked the manager. Kids are doing great this season.

    So I'd say he was worse than Stan the Bamboozler.

    I didn't move it but I think the way thread went it's better suited to world football. It's basically a thread on bad managers, not really anything to do with the Irish national team.
