This contract should have been done months ago. Waiting until Nations League is nonsense. The players all love him and we've turned a corner with him in last year. Also there is no obvious replacement.
Im delighted its finally done and Im excited about the next few years.
Waiting to see how we fair against opposition of a proper standard "is nonsense"...
Look who we beat man seriously.
what part of we aint going to lose this gem to a Premier league team or to another International team do you not get? We have him ..his contract ends in July.. just hold on to our knickers until June and when he does ok. Boom contract.
If we get slaughtered in June.. we might just regret it.
Also the players who love him are also getting picked.. its like that is most teams.
Oh dear God. No wonder you stick to short one sentence posts mostly. Feel free to resume that Diggers.Originally Posted by Diggs246
It looks like now the Nations league games he is going to be in charge against before the contract ran out in the summer is 2 games against Armenia as Ukraine game likely to be postponed. Should we still wait to see how we get on against that standard of opposition ?
Is Scotland postponed? Or was his contract up before the game? I don't know just asking?
Because I think Armenia and Scotland would be good tests
One thing I don't understand is why the FAI don't set the contract to the end of qualifying with an automatic extension if we qualify or reach the play-offs. If we don't impress in the qualifiers, they end up with a lame duck manager when a new manager should be getting his feet under the table or having to make a big payout again.
Not long enough but take the win for now - the boss stays.
Totally agree, bravely outlined. Stop treating Stephen Kenny like the manager we wish he was.
Scotland will likely be playing Ukraine in a rescheduled World Cup playoff and the winner will be playing the playoff final. Who knows how that’ll impact things
Absolute disgraceful decision to give Kenny a new contract. Who's the new coach? With Barry gone that appointment is vital. Why offer a contract when that's not sorted?
Pre Anthony Barry, we were a shambles. If we don't get a good coach we'll go back to that again. How long will we have to keep living the fantasy that Kenny is actually capable of managing at anything close to this level?
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
Bring Ruud Doktor back!!!
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
Unfortunately I think you are right, Kenny will turn us into a laughing stock.
Kenny held a post-press conference tactics discussion yesterday, seems really interesting from the little that's here

The FAI for giving a new contract to an absolute chancer?
I'd still be a soft Kenny Out voter but you've become a one trick pony of some pedigree here.
I was ok with keeping Kenny if it meant Barry was also kept on board. With Barry gone and no replacement, it's crazy to give a new contract to Kenny.
Look, I hope I'm way off but Kenny has shown to me that he doesn't belong close to this level. Without Barry, our rankings were falling off a cliff. It can take years to recover from that.
