    According to French TV station Canal+, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson had mentioned the Houllier link to the French Football Federation.
    I didn't know Ferguson read the papers. And why does he care about the Irish team?

    laying the favourite for the new ireland manager on betfair is a great way to make money.
    aldridge and burley were trading at very low prices the last time IIRC.

    Noely should not disclose how much he has punted for fear of getting pestered with begging letters in his inbox.
    15 euros geysir and have already bricked up the letterbox.

    It is common enough in National appointments to have the candidate selected, the contract signed but won´t take up the position until 4 months time.

    Did Souness not claim on sky sports last night that he had an interview with regards the Ireland job?
    He said some factors were not to his liking.

    He used to deny stuff all the time when he was at Liverpool and the following week the exact opposite would happen, so I wouldn't take much notice of that. He's the outstanding candidate among a crowd of mediocrity so I'd be happy enough with him. At least with Houllier the likes of Robbie Keane wouldn't be guaranteed to start every game following s**te performance after s**te performance. I'd expect him to whip us into shape pretty quickly.

    Souness No, Aldridge No, O'Leary No No No

    Tets posted that Houllier was asked if he was approached by the FAI, he said no.
    That means no in the same way Martin O'Neill was not approached.

    Spoke with my colleague last night who had originally told me that Houllier had got it. Houllier is gone. there seems to be a bit of confusion in the board of management in so far as they are getting tit-bits here and tit-bits there but nothing tangible. This is two days old news though I'm afraid. And not really news at that.
    Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!

    Is Houllier definitely out?

    If he's out, at the very least he should be approached to consult.

    but the south koreans reckon he's going to manage them depending on if the money is right

    i still think he'd be an awful ireland manager

    I see Houllier is in Dundalk this week. That'll turn him off managing Ireland.
