Roy Hodgson would be class, any other name has been underwhelming, I mean Paul Jewell? What other international team would consider him?
Anyway, fook off Staunton you greedy, incomptent, pig headed, disgrace. Him and Bobby should give back every penny they took from Irish football. The pressure must also be kept up on Delaney.
Hodgson? Seriously? The guy is either a con artist or the most tactically inept manager ever.

Fair enough, I expected a cockroach like Devlin to survive this, but wtf is Bobby Robson still being paid €250,000 a year for?! For someone to take €500,000 to do nothing but a very occasional interview is terrible.
His various health problems were the perfect excuse for him to step down quietly and retain some dignity, rather than helping to prop up Staunton/Delaney in a situation he clearly was not interested in and new nothing about, but was willing to back the FAI and Stan as they were signing his cheques. The man spoke utter rubbish anytime he was thrown to the press by the FAI, and if you're lamenting the loss of "Damien Dunne" from injury but praising "the lad from Liverpool" you clearly aren't taking your job very seriously, or in a position where you can take it seriously.
As for Hodgson, lots of international experience (currently has Finland in a great position to qualify), a relative outsider who has no previous dealings with the players, press or FAI, wouldn't cost the earth and can speak English. I don't know anything about him being a con artist but if so he'd fit right in at the FAI. I'd take a chance on him over Steve Coppell or Ian Dowie any day.
He's had various health problems tbf, but if anything that should have made it easier to quietly get him to step down and bugger off. </BLOCKQUOTE>

That scares me tbh </BLOCKQUOTE>
It is amazing really. Are they really that bad that they need to appoint someone to appoint somoone?

Wonder when he'd come crawling out of his hole again - then again when his dopey mate Stan with the crap accent is involved he has to go and stick his oar in - been too long since I saw you round here fella - hows about you just disappear again like a good boy...
Those are also my views btw - just cba trying to rehash them at that time of night
THE POST ABOVE IS NOT FROM FOOT.IE - IT IS ALL AN ORIGINAL WORK
Honest effort from Stan, guy just wasn't up to it from the start. Muller's outburst over the top as ever. Little more than a hollow victory with the real villain still clinging on to his job though, have to say i'm dreading the next appointment.
Staunton really should of had the sence to turn down the job when offered to him, he had no previous experience, but then again you look at mark hughes who done a pretty decent job of managing wales without any experience, but then again he learned from the likes of ferguson etc.
the fai shouldnt have given him such a long contract, these days, if you dont qualify for a tournament, your more or less gonna get the boot, so why give him a contract beyond the euro's?
and now no doubt they try give staunton a half assed financial package rather then paying him his full contract, i wouldnt blame him if he demanded to be payed out in full, perhaps it'll learn then fai a valuable lesson, and sack that idiot delaney as he hasnt a clue, he should be made scapegoat for this debacle.

Just broken on RTE News by Tony O'Donoghue at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Santry. I am glad he got a massive pay off (reports of €1 Million). They were stupid enough to give him the job for as long as they did.
Anyway - without Delaney gone, it means nothing. Stan was a symptom of the problem, not the root cause.
have you actually got opinions of your own without copying and pasting other foot.ie members views word for word? </BLOCKQUOTE>
Haha just saw that. </BLOCKQUOTE>
/o\ Wouldn't have noticed had you not have mentioned it, but ffs. </BLOCKQUOTE>
Unless someone can show me the actual post that WCR is supposed to have plagarised, what the hell are f**kwits on about? </BLOCKQUOTE>
