Heard Dunphy on the radio this morning and he mentioned that he' like Paul Jewell as next manager.
Not a bad choice. He's out of work at the moment and has done good jobs at both Wigan and Bradford.
He also mentioned Leo Beenhaker and Stephen Kenny.
I think Steve Coppell would be a good appointment as well
Good old Eamonn and then he'd be slagging him off after a few games and this is the muppet who was calling for a top class experienced manager last nightIs this the same Paul Jewell sacked by Wednesday as he lead them towards relegation.
Je' despair.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Paddy Power have David O'Leary as favourite according to Newstalk
The same Stephen Kenny who's struggling to get a Dunfermline side up the Scottish first division table with a squad some SPL teams would love to have??
Numpty should really call it a day.

We havent a hope of getting someone like Coppell. No one is going to give up premiership wages and weekly football for international football and a much lower salary.
And so he should be.
I'd rather keep Stan than O'Leary.

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
What about George Graham, John Gregory or Kenny Dalglish who was mentioned previously as being interested if memory serves?
Give it to Aldo..at least he's got some sort of track record in 1 off cup type games..hes good with the media..is passionate about Ireland..and knows how to get a team motivated. I'd have him in with Jewell.
MOT
agree with the sentiments...FAI won't appoint him
Bring back the plank
Vicente Del Bosgue? (Ex-Madrid) Want to be a good package though.
Ruud Gullit?
Jack Charlton? ( Just one campaign, cmon!)
A track record from some 10 years ago!!! This was the same Aldo who was on Sky Sports who said a draw against Slovakia was a good result and a draw against the Czechs would be a good result. I think Jewell is a very good shout. Got the most out of a limited bunch. Also for the last game of last season they were away to Sheffield united and had to win to stay up. Against all odds they did and any manager that can do this obviously has some qualities
Alright then,clone Ferguson.
Aldridge wouldn't be the worst choice. Jewell is interesting, not one I'd considered before but done well enough in the past.

Why in Gods name should Aldridge be considered. He had a couple of half decent cup runs with Tranmere some 8 years ago. Did nothing in the league, has not even been linked with a job sice which says it all. It will be the same story all over again if he gets the job. I can see the FAI sacking Staunton and hiring someone like McAteer. Wouldnt put it past Delaney
Good old Eamonn and then he'd be slagging him off after a few games and this is the muppet who was calling for a top class experienced manager last night
Je' despair.
Also the same Paul Jewell that worked miracles getting a shiite Bradford team into the Premiership then kept them there, then repeated this with a very ordinary Wigan side twice, reaching a League Cup final along the way...
Coppell would be perfect. I reckon he's on less than £1 million per annum and could be afforded. Whether he'd go for it though....doubtful
It's as important to know who you don't want for the job also.
Aldo is a likeable bloke but wouldn't being a hell of a lot more to the party that Stan does. Judging from previous interviews - Aldo isn't as sussed tactically / managerially as some make out. Are we really satisfied with a half decent tenure at Tranmere as sufficient?
We really need to get away from the "recent ex player" crop of potential managers - including O'Leary. They're too familiar with previous set ups and try to replicate flawed approaches.
If we're really serious about making a fundamental change, the FAI will have to create a short list that doesn't include: O'Leary, Whelan, Stapleton, Aldridge, Moran etc etc. Its the lazy option.
I think Jewell is a decent shout given how de-valued the Irish managers job has become. Various high profile names walked away from it in 1996 - never mind who'd be interested in 2007.
Quoting years at random since 1975
Yeah agreed, too many links to the old school. They'd be just FAI lapdogs.
Gotta be a European with his own way of doing things. And we have to be prepared to pay the spondulocks.
Vicente Del Bosque?
