Come on now, lets not take the mick out of the size of the Man Yoo players during the eighties, it was their lifestyle!!

Is he partial to the odd drink?
Listening to the radio "interview" I thought he sounded like a punch drunk ex-boxer. I don't know why but I felt embarrassed for the man.
He�s probably looking for reasons then to drink himself to death with applying for our job.

Prince was big in the 80's. Why is he not being considered, and Alf Ramsey has a great record at international level.

**NeilMcD** · 04/12/2007, 10:49 PM

Prince was fantastic a few months ago in London too and he played 21 nights in a month. Maye he is the man.

Surprised Kendall is only 61 actually (3 years younger than Terry Venables) - didn't realise he was at his managerial peak when he was in his 30s, early 40s.

The way he announced his candidacy should tell the FAI and the other dozen or so Venables supporters in the country something.

If Terry Venables can manage Ireland so can I!

Howard Wilkinson
George Graham
Kenny Dalglish
Graham Taylor
David Pleat
Bobby Gould
Big Ron, of course
Dave Bassett
Billy Bonds
Mike Walker
Lennie Lawrence
Keith Burkinshaw
Tommy Docherty

All have to fancy their chances now.

Ron Saunders anyone?

no , next question.

**elroy** · 05/12/2007, 8:35 AM

He was absolutely appalling on newstalk last night, clueless about the team, the players. Surely if you're putting your name forward for a job have a decent bit of research done first.

**geysir** · 05/12/2007, 10:38 AM

He sounded clueless full stop.
You wouldn't be too fussy if a top coach is interviewed, talked sense but could only name one player.

Howard Kendall was a great manager in the 1980s at Everton, but that was the pinnacle of his career (PS - he was the last English manager to win a European trophy !!)

Past it now, sadly.

Why don't they cut out all the shanannigans and just give the job to Liam Brady

because he's working in an admin job at arsenal, barely a step up from a conelayer at walsall

don't think it's an administration position, isn't he involved with player development?

**Schlooooomp** · 05/12/2007, 2:39 PM

Only difference between Kendall and venables, is that venables has managed to maintain an unsuccessful presence in the game while Kendall has maintained no presence at all. To me it just shows how ludicrous considering venables is.

Thanks for showing an interest Howard, don't call us, we'll call you!

I have stated this on the Brady thread previously but if Brady was serious about managing the Irish senior team then why not get a senior job at club level a couple of years ago, or maybe even go for a job managing an African or Asian country.
