He's favourite as you know so what is the consensus here?
Absolutely NO.
He was made look good at Leeds for a short while primarily because of home grown talent like Kewell, Harte, Woodgate and £120m compliments of the incompetent Ridsdale. Spending £8m on Seth fcuckin Johnson! Robbie Keane £11m only to leave hinm on the bench. How Robbie would look forward to working with O'Dreary again!
A self serving blame merchant who has not the sligtest ability to bond with players. He will turn on the players or the board or the fans to suit his needs, and when it all goes belly-up, write a book about it, the FAI would love that!
Would like to see a poll on each favourite as the decision approaches.

NO I'd rather have Billy Bingham !

Big no. I don't believe he is favourite with the fans either. Bookies making up the odds. Serial whinger and not what we need after STan.

A resounding NO THANK YOU!
....He is not a good motivater, always has excuses when things go wrong,and talks absolute b****ks for hours on end when asked a question..............so to recap.....NO NO NO NO!!!
Tact is for people who are not witty enough to be sarcastic -
O'Leary is known for publicly blaming players for bad results which means he has very little respect from players who use to play for him,so I dont think he would be a good choice to manage Ireland.

Coppell for Ireland -
While I think there are better candidates than O'Leary, I feel he could certainly do a job. Anybody who can bring a team to the last four of the champions league and finish in the top four in the premiership has something to offer. Don't believe all the tripe the red-tops spew about O'Leary.
Always look on the bright side of life -
Absolutely NO WAY.
How come no English club is even considering him now? He has been found out. Just look at his villa record and the improvement when they got a proper manager.
As was said at Leeds he'd know the chairman's wife's name but not the captain of the youth team's name.
We need a manager who has been successful and preferably one with International experience. It doesn't have to be an Irishman. -
Agree with Drummerboy - clearly O'Leary could do a decent job. There are basically 4 aspects to a gig like this - coaching, man management, media / PR and logistics.
Logistics are primarily somebody else's gig (a la Saipan) but demanding the best is key.
The first 2 are the most important and clearly he has top class experience in this - he shares the blame for the Leeds thing but we all make mistakes - he can coach, he could probably manage men, would be OK at media.
It is a complete lottery - once you reach a certain experience and credibility threshhold.DB Cooper is alive ! -

What if he started all that "My babies "drivil again!!
Im feeling sick"You'll not see nothing like the Shelbourne team" -
I idolised Brady, O'Leary and Stapleton when they were at Highbury.
But each of them in his turn have been absolutely brutal managers, so I wouldn't let them near any team I wanted to do well
Blame Bertie Mee or Terry Neill maybe?

I thought he was ok at both Leeds and Villa until he was given money to spend. It was a young Leeds team he took to the CL semi-final, not many - if any - of his own signings in it. His transfer record is brutal, but at international level that's obviously not an issue; he has done ok when he was given a group of players to work with. Agree with the stuff about knowing the Chairman's wife though.

As I say, this had been covered ad nauseum on the New Irish Manager thread and as I say, no!
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters. -
This thread is worth it, if the Star run a piece saying Irish fans reject O Leary.
In Trap we trust -
I'd rather have Delaney as manager than O'Leary.
