I agree totally .. didn't want him when his name was thrown around post Mc Carthy. Just examples of the same old names that keep appearing e.g Wim Jansen

Stan is on the second rung in terms of managerial candidates. I'd put him similar to McCarthy,Kerr, Aldridge,Robson,Mclaren,Toshack,O'Leary.....Hodgso n.....!
There is absolutely NO POINT in even suggesting anyone from the same level if Stan goes....

It has to be a manager from the top rung or it will not work. Its a no-brainer. The media and so called fans will mutilate anyone who is not top-brass... Maybe Souness...?

You're completely taking the mick aren't you? Stan is on the lowest possible 'rung' of managerial candidates. A blind dog with rabies would have more vision and better communication skills than stan

I wouldlike a blind dog with rabies as our next manager but it wont be able to turn up for home games as there is a ban on animals with rabies entering Ireland.

YOu have to be having a laugh. You really must be. How could Staunton be on the same Rung as Toshack. He is not even on the same ladder. Please tell me you are joking.

So in that case, the only viable candidates are ex players, has-been ex-English club managers, a mercenary type (e.g. the world class manager Trinidad manager .. Troussier .. Osim, Baric, Hodgson etc) or some young manager getting his first job a la Stan.

I remember an Irish side appointing a has been Ex-England club manager. Lawrie Sanchez was his name. If Fulham give him the boot we could do worse
