I deleted the above message because I don;t want to get anyone in trouble, let's just say Superhoops don't be so naive.

Jack Charlton 500/1

Martin O'Neill or Roy Keane for me but I am not holding my breath

Out of that list a lot of those 'candidates' are unrealistic and unachievable. Gerard Houllier would be by far and away my first choice. Houllier would actually be quite a coup, doubt he'd take the job though.

Didier Deschamps is also a very good coach. Paul Jewell wouldn't be bad but he wouldn't go for international at this stage of his career. It's a pity Steve Coppell isn't available. Terry Venables would have to be looked at, has all the credentials. I hate O'Leary's attitude. He'd be 100 times better and more astute than Staunton but he's just smarmy, couldn't see myself taking to him. The rest on the list are all s**t or ridiculous.

We need a decent coach who knows his tactics and how to organise a team and win games. Especially away from home. This is why I'd choose Houllier hands down. But any coach with those credentials will at the very least have us competing at the top of the group again...

Stan will be gone for financial reasons. The FAI need to sell 10000 10 year tickets to finance Lansdown road, with the numbers not turning up last night after paying at least €50 and others walking out before the end, this is not going to happen.
Delaney was on the pitch last night at the end of the game and there was no support for Stan after the game. Todays interview was used to distance himself from the appointment. So the game will be up after the Wales game.

Just on the news that Delaney has had his contract extended until 2012, that will stop any cu.

Off Topic but it's interesting to note that Stephen Kenny was 80/1 to get the Ireland job 2 years ago and he's 25/1 now.

**sonofstan** · 18/10/2007, 11:59 PM

So you reckon he'll be 6/1 after Venables goes?

**Noelys Guitar** · 19/10/2007, 12:28 AM

Steve Copell has publicly expressed an interest in managing an international team. Can't see him getting the England job if McClown gets the boot. So he would be my first choice to be approached.

**dodgycanadian** · 19/10/2007, 1:10 AM

who are you all kidding, why would coppell, houllier, or deschamps want to manage ireland... its a deathtrap

**Colbert Report** · 19/10/2007, 1:28 AM

John Sheridan will be the next Ireland manager.

Isn't he managing Oldham? Do we really want a League 1 manager (even one who took his team to the playoffs last year)? Don't get me wrong, he'd be better than Stan, but I think we can do better. I love McAteer, but his experience is about the same as Stans was (player-coach...I can't remember who mentioned McAteer). Even Mark Kinsella would be better as he has some knowledge working in Charlton's backroom.

Tickets that will work out at �200 per game

No chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**antrimgreen** · 19/10/2007, 7:35 AM

At this point, i don't really care to much about the next manager just that the current manager gets booted out da fcuk. When i seen this thread my heart started beating like a dog with 2 dciks, but soon after entering the thread i felt like a dog that just had his balls cut off!!

**paul_oshea** · 19/10/2007, 8:52 AM

I'm in charge of construction work and paperclips (unless we win in which case it was all me)

Cavan_Fan QUALITY

thats exactly what i read as well from the interview, plus that big dopey head on him like he got caught in the sun and is trying to look away. He is such a little weasel on a one man crusade to right his fathers stupid doings. Stupidness clearly runs in teh family. What i didnt like was giles making out he was a great man, for the "average" fan they will take that as gold.

**co. down green** · 19/10/2007, 9:23 AM

Three people made the appointment," said Delaney. "It was a sub-committee of the FAI of three people who made the appointment of the management team. "It's unfortunate that I've been personally linked to the appointment when there was a sub-committee of three which was ratified by the board of the FAI, which is a committee of 10."

"As the association's top official, Delaney led a three-man sub-committee charged with finding a successor to Brian Kerr whose reign ended two years ago tomorrow. FAI president David Blood and the association's honorary secretary Michael Cody were the other two officials involved"

Delaney is a snake alright, how can he distance himself ?
