You're in for a hilarious ride if it is true. Imagine, weekly press conferences from Stan

"How many games have you seen at the World Cup, Stephen?"
"Enough"

"What'll the line up be for tomorrow's game?"
"Shay Given and ten outfield players"

"The side you've picked, will it line up as 4-4-2 or 4-5-1?"
"You tell me"

God that man is a pr.i.ck

Thankfully there is no chance of Ron Atkinson going near the job, the FAI will have to go for a safe, non-controversial option to make sure Delaney keeps his job. There's no way the committee for appointing the manager will put forward Atkinson.

don't forget the old standard

"I'm the gaffer - the buck stops with me"

(Best to also hire a pensioner to act as "consultant" - just pick some random gent from the local Royal British Legion Club)

He won the league twice with Halmstads BK and won two titles with Malmö FF. He did although win the Swedish Cup twice with Malmö FF. So his achievements in Sweden were greatly exaggerated in your post.

retired_olechka

he did win 2 leagues with Halmstads, that was a typo.

I said he won 5 titles in a row with Malmo, and that is a fact. 5 Allsvenskan leagues championships.

But Venables has been crap since Euro '96, and wasn't even great then

Would rather Souness, who also said 'Me wants job'.

retired_jean2

in NOTW i thought i read that Jol with Hughton along side him was their number 1 choice and that venables was only throwing his name into the mix along with souness?

How about you stop reading those newspapers?

retired_jean2

how about you gtf?

just interested that snipersdream didn't say anything about Jol.
