would agree that paul jewell would be a great choice , i really rate him as a manager.
Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.
I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty;
I woke, and found that life was Duty.
ah come off it, he was way out of his depth, even weh he was manager of Germany they couldnt wait to get rid of him
I would love to get Leo beenhakker (or however you spell his name)......doing wonders with Poland, and was excellent tactically with T and T in the last world cup................surely we can nick him off Poland after the euros
who we really need is Paul Daniels.....
Did he not win the European Championship with Germany in their old enemy's back yard beating them in the semis's. German managers are expected to win European Championships/World Cups - i would imagine there is more pressure of expectation. Scotland didnt work out for varoius reasons
Certainly wouldnt be adverse to a respected foreign manager/coach ,if available and willing
yeah he did, despite himself
upto that point every German manager had won at least one trophy, so he was under intense pressure, but having Sammer, mattheus, and a solid german team in a poor tournament it wasnt the hardest trophy to win, and the Czechs were unlucky not to win it themselves
Paul Jeweel would probably take the bolton job since i reckon it will be up for grabs soon enough
I would rather leave Stan in charge!! O'Leary proved his uselessness with 100 million plus, what wil he do with a squad he can't spend money to add to, a waster full of excuses and a manipulator. Please no.
If you want a manager with passion no nonsense and a great motivator that dont give you loads of bull! then you wouldnt go far wrong with NEIL WARNOCK!! i recon he could get the best out of the players and tell them straight if they played s*"t! and wouldnt be affraid to drop the stars if they werent doing it for us!
anyone with me on this then???
I can't stand the man but he would be an improvement on Stan and he has the appropriate experience of getting some success on a low budget. I don't agree with the "don't give you loads of bull" statement though, he has come out with his fair share of bull over the years
My choice would be Mike Newell. I'd also take McCarthy back in a shot now that the whole Saipan thing has settled down. However, there would probably still be sections of the media that would slate him if he got a bad result and there would be a compensation issue too. Wolves wouldn't let him go so easily. Maybe get rid of Stan now and take Mick on for the last 3 games of the campaign and see how the media, players and fans warm to him. If it's successful offer him a contract for the WC qualifiers.
I think we should seek a Bora Milutinovic/Phillipe Troussier/Guus Hiddink type World Cup specialist, someone who has gotten the job done on several occasions and has the knack of the international game.
Why the f**k would McCarthy give up his job at Wolves on the chance that he may be offered a new contract by the FAI if he was successful in three games and if the media and the fans warmed to him.I can't stand the man but he would be an improvement on Stan and he has the appropriate experience of getting some success on a low budget.

The most ridiculous suggestion I have ever come accross.
Honest! I am not a secret Tim nor a closet Sham - I really am a Seagull.
Didnt Jewell quit Wigan because of health and family reasons. I think the strain of Premiership management was really getting to him and he didnt look a well man at the end of last season. I think he would jump at the chance of managing us and i think it would be excellent for all concerned
Although good managers are hard to come by i think it would be a mistake to appoint an unproven manager at international level.Getting the best out of ordinary players at Leicester and Celtic hardly Qualifies martin to lead Ireland to the world cup finals.It can't be a coincidence that none of the top teams have ever approached him.
Sorry I didnt make my point 100% clear. I didnt mean for him to give up his job at Wolves but to just come in as cover for our last 3 games, when we look for a long term replacement but with an open mind on offering him the job if it works out well. It's not going to happen but he did say he would like to manage Ireland again after a few years in the English league.Why the f**k would McCarthy give up his job at Wolves on the chance that he may be offered a new contract by the FAI if he was successful in three games and if the media and the fans warmed to him.

Anyway I would prefer someone like Newell and wouldn't be opposed to Paul Jewell either and that would be more likely because they are both free agents.
Surely getting the best out of ordianry players is exactly what's required?
MON is tied up at Villa now. He's got backing and he's building a team of young British players (in the main) and is being allowed time for his ideas to take shape. No chnace he'd even consider it.
Jewell is credible and I think the point about stress above means that maybe he'd consider it. Plenty of upside - if he's a proven success the England job could be his. I don't know that much about him. He seems to have done well with limited resources but at same time his "successes" have really been all about avoiding relegation, no? OK, Carling Cup final, one good league campaign too I suppose.
Warnock, please God no. Absolutely reprehensible character.
Martin Jol may be out of work soon. We'd have Chris Hughton back as no. 2. To this day I think he has been very lucky to escape the flak that Kerr took.
The package shouldn't be a deal breaker. Offer a big cash bonus upon qualification. That's how it works in industry. Salary plus bonus if targets are met.
Newell would be too much of a maverick for the FAI I reckon.
So who, realistically, are you suggesting?
Honest! I am not a secret Tim nor a closet Sham - I really am a Seagull.
Works for me, his p45 is imminent, but I'm sure he would laugh at the salary.Good point in todays paper,ie Stan is on 500,000 a year, but if he walked or was pushed would even an EL club consider employing him? eh NO CHANCE!
Warnock??? Please God no. Same goes for O'Leary. I'd rather keep Stan. I'd love us to go down the Jewell/Jol route but I imagine they'd probably rather be tortured than try and pull rabbits out of hats with our squad of players. John Aldridge would be crazy enough to take it on but is he good enough? Decent stint at Tranmere for a while but top class international football shows no mercy - just ask Stan!!!!

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
John Aldridge wouldn't be the worst choice in the world but I'd much prefer Jewell or even giving McCarthy a 2nd shot, really hoping it isn't someone like Warnock ,Don Givens or O'Leary, unfortunately O'Leary is the fav at 2-1
can anybody remember all the applicants for the job last time round? Did Bryan Robson get an interview?
