We could always hire a Venables lookalike to throw some buns at the FAI Delegates on their way in to vote...

I know people in Kerry are rumoured to be slow but this is taking the biscuit.

This is from RTE not me. I'm not 100% convinced this is a done deal yet. If it is Venables then so be it. Not the worst coach around by any means. I still believe we missed a chance to get someone like Beenhakker or Bilic. Not someone who was going to have us playing Brazilian football but who fully understands how we play and how the opposition plays.

I'm convinced John Delaney was going to go European (mainland) after Staunton. He then spoke to a players grouping after the Wales game in Cardiff and spoke to Giles and then everything changed. Suddenly Venables came into the picture. JD should have trusted his own judgement. I am not a Venables hater and hope he might get us over the line for the next WC finals. But we never tried to get the best managers (for us)out there. Not Houllier who I believe is a bluffer. But Beenhakker, Bilic and others. Managers on a low income but proven international ability. Instead we ended up with Hoddle, Brady/Giles and now Venners. All OK people but not what we need. But I support the new Ireland manager.

In fairness it was on the late TV3 news as well. " TV3 news understands the 3 man committee will recommend Venebles"

TERRY VENABLES last night moved a step closer to becoming Steve Staunton's successor after Bulgaria named their manager.

The former England boss looks a short-priced favourite to manage Ireland after Plamen Markov was re-appointed Bulgaria coach with a two-year contract.

Nothing confirmed yet.

More leaks and rumours but it's looking more like El Tel by the minute.

This was posted 2 months ago but it's pretty well done.

I wonder when will the FAI listen to the people who pay their wages. It is clear on this board which is made up of Irish football fans that Terry Venables is not the man we want, the poll demonstrates as much. So I suppose we simply accept another manager who lacks the credentials that we crave? Maybe they realise we are just a spineless bunch and as soon as he is appointed we will come out with all the usual "o well never mind, lets get behind him". Its a f*cking farce that we are going to be faced once again, with a man in charge that we don't want.

You dont seriously think that either of these would leave their respective teams to join a shambles like ours ?Personally if that piano player and jellied eel eating C..t gets the job i am going to find it hard to go to a game again ,for the love of jasus please do not appoint Venables.

**paul_oshea** · 12/01/2008, 10:48 AM

terrible news if true. really ****ed off, it just goes to show really how much they considered it if venables is the best that we can get. im so ****ed off now.

**rambler14** · 12/01/2008, 11:21 AM

If he becomes manager then thats it..............i'm out

**Noelys Guitar** · 12/01/2008, 11:27 AM

The FAI have yet to deny the RTE story. Yet you can still get 5/6 on Venables.

I tought the exact same think when Jack got the job, and was disgusted with his first game v Wales at the RDS, the rest's history, (never stopped supporting the team) however i'm not expecting history to repeat itself.

If TV gets the job, id put money on him quiting within a month of the 2nd Italian qualifier, with a nice multi million pay off off our euros.
