If Stan walks he doesn't get the rest of his contract as a pay off. If he's sacked he's entitled to a payout of around 1,000,000 Euro. What would you do in those circumstances?
You're wasting your breath. They've already said that they'd thumb their noses up at 800K and do the "honourable" thing. Easy to say in print of course but there is no way most sensible people would do such a thing when they face another 30 years without a job!! Lots of moral high horses around
On a totally different issue, what was the Cypriot sent off for in the last minute? Was at the game but didn't see the incident and haven't seen any replay on tv.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

He is a multi millionasire and has significant property interests. He did very nicely out of football and invested wisely.
He must have known from very early on he was not up to the job particularly after the shambles in Nicosia.
He could have negotiated a payoff then. If you hang on and force the issue then you can hardly moan about the media and fans etc.
He could have negotiated a payoff a year ago, taken a decent figure and left with dignity.
Now he won't be remembered as the player who played 102 times for his country and went to 3 world cups. He'll be the incompetent clueless muppet who remained in charge of our national team too long and made it a laughing stock.
It may be at a different level but in a previous company a former colleague who had been made redundant twice before got himself a new job in the early stages of things going pear shaped. He said you earn every penny of your redundancy money. I was never made redundant but given what subsequently transpired would tend to agree.
gspain , i heard that he was financially in a bit of a pickle before the fai hired him. if i was him i would wait until i was sacked as well. it is a serious amount of cash to be walking away from regardless of whether he is a millionaire or not.
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.
Its probably why the FAI hired him.
Stan:Hey John, you dont have any good jobs coming up in the FAI. I will do anything really put out a few cones etc.
John D: Ahh Stan, we do indeed have a job for you. How about managing the Senior Team
Stan: Does that mean I am the gaffer. Jesus I am bamboozled John.
John D: Good word Stan,good word.
In Trap we trust
I've read somewhere (I must have bought 5 or 6 papers for the plane home in the hope that an official source had confirmed Stan was on his way!!) that it was for spitting at Kilbane. I suppose if we'd won 3 or 4 nil it would have got more column inches.You're wasting your breath. They've already said that they'd thumb their noses up at 800K and do the "honourable" thing.

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
I was at the game too but actually saw the incident. The scumbag spat at Kilbane and Kevin was fit to burst him - don't know how he refrained from clocking him one!You're wasting your breath.

...you do like using that 'high horse' analogy OwlsFan

I do. It amuses me that some people here would claim that if they weren't doing a good job for Ireland, they'd resign with no prospect of future work of any sort rather than get a hand out of €800k - all for the good of the country. The trouble is that (a) people seldom think they're doing a bad job and believe everyone else is at fault and (b) no matter how much money you have, 800k is not to be sneezed at especially if you've no prospect of employment for the next 30 years, not even putting the cones out at Walsall.
The madness was giving him a 4 year contract and he's entitled, just as anyone else is, to be paid if the other party severs the contract.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Problem is that, unlike the rest of us, he doesn't need to work for the next 30 years. Makes a big dent in your argument.
Also, he could work if he wanted to.
Like I give a f.
He promised us a Ferrari, and delivered a Lada.
He made £1 million recently just be refinancing some property deals. I wouldn't mind being in a pickle like that. Word has it a "friend" was in the same property deal although he probably said "et tu brutus" to him on Thursday.
How do you know all this?
It's the rumor going around, I've heard it as well but I have no idea if it's true.
A rumour with a bit of embellishment presented as fact, standards please ladies.
Yup, I heard it from a taxi driver though, which probably guarantees it's not true...
