Good point. I doubt the FAI would consider such a candidate sufficiently "world-class" though...

see this is the point i was making when i started this thread, i don't think we have much choice but to stick with stan. The alternatives are not looking good.
The only even vaguely logical choice i can see is O' leary, but even thats a step in the wrong direction. Alas, as much as i'd like to be optimistic about the situation, methinks things are only going to get worse before they get better.
illiteracy and alphabet soup hmm?
You wonder to yourself how we ended up with stan? And then you come on here and see people touting unemployable ex charlton era players as the next manager.
I love the reference to a lawrie sanchez type figure. what we actual need is lawrie sanchez. his contract expires at the end of the 2008 campaign, and i doubt the ifa are paying him much. although there are contact talks planned next month. Its a no brainer really.
Other candidates - O'leary should be interviewed as champions league semi finals have to count for something.
And lastly i raise the possibility of Steve Bruce - has all the irish links, decent enough manager and has had recent problems with his chairman selling players from under his nose.
Big sam allardyce would never take the wage cut, but he's never gonna get that england job or a top premiership one because of his style of play.
That old non story.
Aldo never asked for the Bohs job.
In the following months, Bohemians president Felim O’Reilly received a couple of phone calls from a man with a Scouse accent and calling himself John Aldridge, who expressed an interest in the job. A couple of trips were made to the airport, but Aldridge never did show up.

Whats the rush, we have no competative fixtures until September. Just cos Stan gets the boot doen't neccessarily mean we have to appoint someone straight away.
A good manager will get the boot from somewhere by July at the latest. Let them come to us
That's a good one!

Well, they might not exactly be knocking our door down, but there is no one out there right now
with Colemans sacking from Fulham today, id take him in a heart beat. Young, ambitious and kept a small london team in the Premiership. I think he should feel hard done by for being sacked and could excel in international management.
off topic but sacking Coleman is a shocking bad act

Don't count you're chickens...
To be honest I don't rate him at all.
Not sure this thread is remotely relevant because (a) Stan isn't going to be sacked on the basis that Ireland have won the last few games and (b) because of the ridiculously long contract he has been given, the FAI can't afford to sack him.
Even if the current campaign ends in a whimper, Stan will probably be there for the next unless the final results are really diabolical in which case the FAI might be forced to act with just 2 years of his contract to pay off (which they still would be hard pressed to afford).
DOn't like Chris Coleman: he's from the blame the ref school of management like Neil Warnock. Things aren't going that well for Martin O'Neill at Villa so he might be available at the end of our campaign if it terminates disasterously.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
John Sheridan or Jim Gannon are the men to watch. Looking for potential in young (preferrably Irish) managers is the way to go because more established managers in the higher tiers of English football wouldn't even wipe their arse with the application form for the Irish job.
chris coleman...thought he was a good manager, has a fearless approach, never gives the big teams too much repect. He also plays decent football.
I suspect he might go to Wales when Toshack gets the chop.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Stevie MClaren looks like he'll be becoming available.
I'm also a fan of Chris Coleman he brought more passion to the job than all the prem managers combined.
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
Last night on Newstalk the presenter and Giles were saying that one of the reasons they liked Coleman was that he was not like Warnock and that he did not blame the refs and he took defeats on the chin.
In Trap we trust
Coleman's always moaning and blaming refs!
in fairness to Coleman, hes had no money, had to sell his best players and still plays well, i cannot believe the fulham fans were calling for his head, they will regret that, when Laurie (ONE TRICK PONY) Sanchez starts playing 10 men behind the ball...and they get relegated next season...If Sanchez is still manager by xmas ill be shocked
