Ahhh to be fair he has been off fighting cancer, not great work I think he would rather be workign to be fair. If I was off fighting cancer I would still get paid as would many people who post on this.

Just watched Tony OD on the RTE news at 1 and he said that the meeting is due to start at 6.30 but that this afternoon they have been working on some way that Staunton could still be involved in Irish football someway. Not sure what exactly he meant by this but I wonder would they give him the U21 job.

, apart from that, Stan should be no-where near the international teams!

Trappattoni+Tardelli+Brady=Holy Trinity of Irish Football
Thats where the guy should have bloody well started, the under 21s. From that we could have seen if he was suitable as an international manager. I have said it before so many times on this forum but we have to start using our under 21s as a stepping stone. Having the unsackable Don Givens continously in that position is stupid beyond comprehension
Or else we could just try and get the best manager for the job and not be messing with the u-21s as well as the senior team?!

Who siaid anything about messing with the under 21s. i said give the job to a person that people could possibly see one day managing the full team. I fail to see the benefit of having Don Givens there
Is Delaney trying to force Stan onto the new manager as assistant "gaffer"?
I would say there are some interesting negotiations going on.
Delaney will be trying to buy his silence. The rest of the board will be looking for as cheap a pay off as possible.
If he is smart he will play them against each other, but then if he was smart he would probably not have given Jonathan Douglas all those games
well any self respecting individual who has aspirations of becoming the Irish boss would tell Delaney to **** off during the interview if he tried to force Stan onto him as one of his 'coaches'. Christ even letting him hand out the bibs could go wrong!!!

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
A very relevant point - we can all say that Stan should do the decent thing and resign without compensation but how many FAI officials have been paid off over the years despite having made a complete mess of their jobs.
Sean Connolly, Bernard O'Byrne, Fran Rooney and others were all paid to go away and stay quiet. Why should Stan take a moral stand when his employers have displayed no such standards over the years?

John Delaney said hed back Staunton no matter what happened in the Euros. Now Delaney is distancing himself from the whole affair. The FAI were stupid beyond belief giving him a four year deal but if you were Staunton would you walk away from the €900,000 that you are entitled to?
Staunton is the biggest gob****e of a manager I have ever seen.
If he had an ounce of decency he would walk without a penny.
Anyone who thinks of him as that is an idiot in my book. On the pitch he served Ireland well, and if you any of you can honestly put you hand up and say that you wouldn't have taken the Irish job for 400k a year I'll still go ahead and call you a lying scumbag. As for Staunton's pay-off, well thats Delaney's mistake, not Stan's, if someone had agreed to pay you another 800k over the next two years you'd hang about til you got the money too
lying scumbag, now there is a strong term to call a fellow poster.

He has been paid, but failed to deliver his contractual obligation - spectacularly so.
How does this theft from the Irish game, match against his shallow words of passion when he was appointed.
If he'd broken any contractual obligation, he would have been fired by now.
He was contractually obliged to manage the Irish team !!! Did he do that ?
Remember to the WC qualification for 2002? McCarthy's contract expired with the last qualification game, the FAI didn't eevn have the firesight to include the play-off games and McCarthy then had them over a barrel.
With Stan being a rookie they should have offered a modest base salary and a big bonus for qualification, bonus for play-off spot etc. Maybe smaller bonues for key result.
