    what about...

    Bora Milutinovic?

    Has worked with many nations and has a good track record. I think he's currently the Jamaican team coach but he would be a good one to get.

    as i said on another thread,im gonna email him today and ask him to apply for the job.hes good at telling people what they did wrong but why doesnt he then go show us all how to do it right?????

    He's a critic. That's his job for god's sake. Under your standard, noone is entitled to voice an opinion on Stan unless they are willing to put themselves forward for the job. Frankly, thats a load of boll*x, complete craptalk.

    Besides, the opinion he voiced regarding Staunton is completely accurate, and one which is wholly representative of most Irish fans. Stan was put in a job he wasn't even close to being qualified for, and is clearly not able for.

    He's earned well over €500,000 in the period he has been in charge. That is not value for money! A complete waste!

    If anything, our performances and results have regressed under Stan, eventhough the strength and quality of the squad has improved.

    We'd all love a world class manager, but given the financial and footballing constraints we face, we are very unlikely to get that. In reality, a proven, middle-tier Premiership manager like Paul Jewell or Steve Coppell is the very best we could expect (and would represent a collosal step up from Stan). Even a good championship manager like Pardew, Dowie or Newell would represent a step up. Thus, Dunphy is not pathetic in putting Jewell's name forward, it's the reality we face!! What do you expect? Jose Mourinho to walk out on Chelsea for the FAI??

    In my opinion, we have a squad that was definitely capable of finishing second in our group (thus qualifying for Euro 2008), and which will be even stronger once the Qualifiers for World Cup 2010 come around. Dunphy's core point was that we have to give this squad the best possible chance to reach the World Cup finals. To do that, we have to have the best available manager to lead our team. Simply put, Staunton isnt that man.

    The first suggestion was a joke, just in case it wasn't obvious.

    Keep an eye on Henk ten Cate. His contract at Ajax is untill the end of the season and rumour is he wants to go when it finishes. Or he could be pushed soon enough because the Ajax board are stupid. Top manager.

    I have to agree with Dunphy. Jewell is the right man for the job. He did a terrific job with wigan, and even better with Bradford. A former Wednesday manager did a good job for us in the past as well!!

    I think Bruce Arena would do better than staunton. (Former USA coach) - at least he plays to his players strengths - and leaves them in their natural position. Jewell would be ideal though.

    Also if he did really well we could name Lansdowne Roaf after him

    Aldo and Jewell as joint managers? Would you trust 2 scousers?!

    I've always liked George Burley. He did a decent job at both Ipswich and Hearts and I think he'd have a good understanding of Irish players.

    Do not even mention Don Givens you'll only be giving the FAI ideas. He is a useless manager with a useless record.
    LESS OF THE BULL NOW!

    I would be happy with Burley or Jewell. Either would have got us through to 2008.

    Just to throw another name into the hat...

    Dick Advocaat's move to manage Australia apparently is not a done deal. He is not keen on being based Down Under and his Russian club are putting up a bit of a fight to keep him.

    Surely he would be great for the job. Dunno if the $$$ would be right or if the ole ole heads could handle a former Rangers manager at the helm...

    We have a poor manager Bellavistaman, that's the difference. p*** poor tacticly, p*** poor public relations, confusing squad selections and amateur excuses after poor results.

    The best one ever was saying San Marino would cause teams problems and how they were no longer whipping boys after we scored a last minute winner. He must've thought we'd all miracously forgot that Germany went into double figures against them a few weeks earlier.

    I could reel off at least a dozen of his decisions in squad selections that have left me scratching my head.

    This is all idle speculation as it seems the FAI and Stan are not going to part company anytime soon which is sad because it will inevitably lead to one of our greatest ever servants (Stan) getting a load of abuse from the fans at the next set of games.

    That said my choice would most definetly be Paul Jewell.He is a man who has proven on a number of occassions that he can work with limited resources.Also he would not break the budget constraints I am sure the FAI are working under.He is also a manager who is quite comfortable with the media and would be quite a likeable character.

    However I think the most important aspect of this is that I think he would take the job.His reasons for resigning from Wigan last season was that he had enough of the day to day pressures of being a Premiership manager so the less stressful world of international management would suit him perfectly.He is being held to his contract by Wigan currently so he would not be able to sign without some form of compensation but this may only apply to club management and not the international scene.Some investigation would be needed.

    Again there is no point in even discussing this as those who make the decisions (ie John Delaney) have decided to sit on their hands a little bit longer.

    Some one needs to sit on his head never mind him sitting on his hands. If the FAI were a proper company/business then the MD would be sacked for failure to hit targets and expectations. Stan must have some dirt on him up his sleeve.
