Very funnyNo doubt thats why the FAI kept moving the meeting, Staunton couldn't get to the right hotel.
This is not the best signature in the world, this is just a tribute
Yes. Haven't you been paying attention?
Check out a definition of "manage".
Russell Crowe wouldn't .... "Right, now where is that pu$$y cancer...Hey Cancer! Ye Te$ticle!"
I agree though there's no blaming him, which is a pity because I think Bobby could have done a decent job and had a lot to offer....
Possibly not if you were already a multi millionaire in your own right.
But given that fact that every CEO who's been ousted over the last 10 years has recieved a substansial pay off teh FAI are in no position to bitch over this. He should have been on a rolling 2 year deal, no way would he have turned that down at the off. Blame the goons who sanctioned his 4 years.
You seem confused by the distinction between 'manage' and 'successfully manage'.
Listen, parting by "mutual consent" is what happens in life when someone gets their contract paid off. See Sammy Lee (first reference I found in the 1.2 million references on Google to "by mutual consent")

I can guarantee you that Stan doesn't think he did a bad job. It's human nature to blame others and to demand what's entitled to you by the law. Hence good luck to him and to his negotiators who got a 4 year deal in the first place. That was the madness which I said right at the beginning.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Yeah, Staunton may have done a poor job but he was in no way in breach of his contract as he was guaranteed a 4 year deal regardless of results so Staunton is fully entitled to his pay off and would be a fool to let the FAI off the hook
Not particularly, some of the posters on this website both baffle and disgust me at the best of times, I still think anyone who says they wouldn't have taken the job and taken the pay they were due is a liar. Oh and I'd call you a lying scumbag is a direct quote from the Simpsons that I've always liked. So there's that history lesson
I'm not saying that you both baffle and disgust me NeilMcD either, although I'm not saying you don't either
It would have been cheaper for the FAI to hire a hitman to take Staunton out (and not for dinner).
No I'm not confused at all - definition of management below:
Management comprises directing and controlling a group of one or more people or entities for the purpose of coordinating and harmonizing that group towards accomplishing a goal. Management often encompasses the deployment and manipulation of human resources, financial resources, technological resources, and natural resources. Management can also refer to the person or people who perform the act(s) of management.
Absolutely disgusted that a man who was time and time again guaranteed 4 years in the job and was sacked, fair enough for doing a very bad job, but nonetheless guaranteed that 4 years could want a pay off.
Shame on you Stan
FFS he's every bit entitled to his compensation!
Thursdays are Oriel
102 caps - legend
exactly. if you or I signed a four year contract (as opposed to some sort of rolling one), we'd fully expect to be paid. I mean, if we bought a car and didn't examine it to make sure it had a big enough boot for our golf clubs, we would have fuke all grounds for later saying "oh it's ****, it doesn't suit my needs" and refusing to pay the second half of our HP payments. Entirely the fai's fault for the four year contract, and Staunton has every right to ask for his money. It's not his fault the FAI are absolute fools. If they don't want his management services, tough sheet, they signed a contract for them.Absolutely disgusted that a man who was time and time again guaranteed 4 years in the job and was sacked, fair enough for doing a very bad job, but nonetheless guaranteed that 4 years could want a pay off.

Which bit did Staunton not do?
The FAI shouldn't be allowed to offer anything other than a 2 year contract to anyone. More incompetence from a group of people more interested in lining their own pockets and who really haven't got an idea about football. Brendan O'Byrne was axed before he revealed all their dealings I mean ho is Louis Kilcoyne part of the circus. Tragic
With a squad made up of players like Green, McShocking and Kilbad we are going places. Down the gutter.........
Here's a quote of mine from another thread.
A lot of posters here have said that if they were offered the Irish job, of course they'd take it.
Well, I wouldn't. The reason I wouldn't is because I know that I don't know enough about management to be a good manager, and the national place is not the place to start learning. If and when the results took a turn for the worse, it would be my fault as much as anybody else, because I took the job knowing this would happen, due to my lack of ability.
Part of the success of being a manager is picking the correct backroom team. If you can't get your backroom technical staff right and that's a handful of people, you'll never get the right combination out on to the park. Kevin McDonald clearly didn't command the respect of the players either. Or else he would have been able to get them to defend properly in an Irish shirt. Some of the goals conceded in this qualification have been farcical.
In World War 1, had John O'Shea been around and as inept as a soldier, as he is on the field, he would have been executed for treason
He might have been executed for other reasons too allegedly. But luckily times have moved. on.
In Trap we trust
Yes, that's how it works in football. The flip side of the coin is that if Real Madrid had come knocking with a €10M contract, Staunton couldn't just hand in his notice.You're right Paul.....doesn't make sense in any other profession....except in Football, where failure is rewarded ( with the paying off of a contract in full ).......pure NONSENSE....but eh....that's football!!
You can't spell failure without FAI
You lying scumbag!!!!!
