Kinda agree, he might have a legal right to the payoff but that is not necessarily a moral right. He has made a handsome amount from his two years in charge, it's not like he sacrificed managing Real Madrid to take the Irish job.Originally Posted by Tuff Paddy

Thank the lord our god above and so begins the healing...
What did Brady say about the job this evening. Did he express an interest.
In Trap we trust
TuffPaddy should be renamed RoboTuffPaddy for his relentless pursuit of "poor auld Stan"

The morons are the ones who gave him the guaranteed deal that requires such a payout. They need to go next...
Yes, according to this article, he is interested in the job:

Jesus Paddy, he coudl not have done more to keep Jol in a job, not defending his Ireland form but his Spurs form has been top class. Not his fault they cannot defend.
In Trap we trust
Bless the Good Froday Agreement where our Belfast brethren decide our future, have we rejoined?

"It's time for the FAI to grow up." John O'Donoghue, Minister for Sport, RTE , Sunday 7 Nov 2004
A mate said that he didn't rule himself out when O'Herlihy pressed him on the issue. He was supportive of the FAI for the way they handled the press conference, doesn't want to make enemies at this stage I guess.

speak for yourself as how he will be remembered
This is not the FAI's money. It is the fans money.
No wait!!! TOD is back!!!!
tell that to the Delany
Which hotel is he actually in and I will!
The connection on RTE live on the net has failed.
I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.
In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.
It may be the fans money, but the FAI are the ones who determine how it is spent and their decisions have required this payout to move on.
It's a rare individual that would not take the payment Stan is taking. There are those posting on this board who may be some of those rare people. However, I think it is important to recognize that the vast majority of people would take the payout. If you accept that premise, then blame must be focused on the FAI for not setting up conditions in which such a payout would be unnecessary by doing their contract appropriately up front. It's not like Stan had a lot of leverage after all ... what was he doing, coaching in League One? You could have written almost anything into that contract and the dude would have signed it to be manager of Ireland.
I'll be wishing Staunton many days of happiness with his new found wealth every time I think of the €70 spent on each game in Croke Park especially the Cyprus game.
