    sorry how does a report on a channell which has been shown to be full of **** during this whole episode have any bearing on where we are as a footballing nation. Billy Davies is going to be interviewed for the job, but does not mean he will get it.

    Talk about an overstatement./

    I love betfair! I had €400 on Billy Davies that I thought was wasted money, I have now laid that off at just under 2/1.

    Hang on, Billy Davies has been out of a job since November, and he gets interviewed in February?! Unbelievable. As if Trapattoni would touch us now, seeing that he has to be compared to Billy Davies of Preston North End fame.

    Plus, didn't Davies rule himself out of the Scottish job because he wanted to bring in his own U-21 and youth set up? So he will now be interviewed by our U-21 manager. Hmmm. What a waste of ****ing time, this is getting more embarassing by the day.

    As we already knew. He applied for the job weeks ago and is getting an interview. He adds to the long list.

    Givens said yesterday they had a few small matters to clear up.

    That didn't sound like a ''we still have to interview Billy Davies'' to me.

    This has gone arseways for the FAI, Trap and Ven should run a mile and we should hold on now till MAy or June and get Steve Coppell imo.
    FFS- the whole thing looks like a complete shambles now.

    I hope Tel thems them to fcuk off now.

    Im still of the opinion that the panel produced Venables, sections of the FAI baulked, and the order went out to find "Plan B", ASAP.

    Its now code red. "anybody but Venables".

    As Trapattoni was never a realistic candidate, any one of the nobodies, has-beens or journeymen who turn up in the interview room in the next 8 days could very realistically end up being our man.

    A farce , from start to finish.
    On the way into the stadium, an elderly San Marino Steward waved us in and said "Tonight, may the best team win"

    And they nearly did.

    ..and in fairness, perspective! Creaming themselves?

    Trap hasn't been interviewed, says he doesnt want the job, Givens says he hasnt contacted him and yet theres 800 posts wondering everything from who's going to be his assistant to what formation he'll play against Georgia.

    Billy Davies gets an interview in Zero Hour when desparation is setting in, and the single thread mentioning it is accused of relying on a "full of sh** source" (the same one that broke the Trap story, incedentally...) , and overstatement.....

    Perspective.. It's the p!ss-up/brewery incompatible FAI we're dealing with here...Anything is possible....

    Seriously, he's managed Preston North End and Derby County. He's never managed in a latter stage of a Cup competition, let alone a European game. The mind boggles. If appointed how will the FAI/Don Givens possibly sell this one?

    The Sky news report said it was his second interview.Also mentioned 'reliable FAI sources'.

    If true, sounds like the three stooges spent three & a half months to finish up with Billy Davies

    If The new manager fails, The FAI & Delaney pass the blame to Givens for not adhering to a correct selection procedure, and expresses their "profound" disappointment, they then call up Terry Venables to take over immediately, money no issue, then gives themselves a pay rise for 'courage under fire'.

    If the new manager suceeeds, The FAI & Delaney congratulate themselves for instigating their 'far sighted' interview process, and go off doing whatever they normally do, except they do it more smugly than usual. Then they give themselves a pay rise for a job well done.

    After removing himself from contention for the Scotland job , he accepted an invitation to an interview in London, with FAI panel.This took place the same day as interview with Sanchez.3 amigos obviously liked what they heard and/or he is the only person( bar Tel) willing to take it:

    just saw this on sky sports news 'breaking news' billy davies to be appointed on wed

    I`d safely say this is pure rubbish and sky have totally misunderstood this to be an interview only (lets hope so)

    Even the notion of sky thinking he`ll get the job is just embarrassing for us, we might as well re-employ stan !

    billy davies indeed
