Because they’re professional athletes with a modicum of pride?

He didn’t say they were shit, just inferior to the Dutch. Seemed a reasonable and accurate assessment.

Incorrect. His exact words were

“Every single one of the Irish players are inferior to their Dutch counterpart. They are all as shit as Denis Irwin”.

@Julio_Geordio

He’d be a fool to leave the man is on half a million quid. He is never getting near a salary like that again.

The man has a few big islands and landscaping to pay for. He won’t be leaving that job of his own accord.

Demonstrated a deep understanding of the game
A media performer
Loved by the OTB / Second Captain types

Richie Sadlier your time is now

Would lee carsley be obtainable or is his stock beyond our reach? Just seen your post Sid.

@Cheasty

Lee Carsley
Plus points: Has status as a solid servant of the Ireland team as a player. Probably has a calm authority, that’s the way he always came across. Has a good record with England underage.

Negative points: An unknown quantity as a senior manager.

[Cheasty]

He’s definitely obtainable. Coaches want to test themselves at senior level. Carsley won’t be given the England senior job because he’s too low profile. He’s gone as far as he can with England underage teams. He’s played for Ireland and Ireland have a decent group of young players who have the potential to improve. It’s a senior international job. Some championship clubs might come looking for him but his level of suitors would be your Stokes, Birminghams or Huddersfields. Ireland can compete with that level in terms of attractiveness.

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

Luc Holtz would surely be within our budget.

Sarina Weigmann would be a great choice for all those who love the progressive football we have heard so much about over the last three and a half years

[ciarancareyshurlingarmy]

Vera is the answer.
But would the fai do another U-turn?

“he feels he was born in Ireland”

he feels?

My heart is in Ireland, my lungs are out in Spain
My kidneys are somewhere nearer Sydney.

[StoneCold]

Could Bielsa be tempted? Hector Cuper? Jorge Sampaoli? I think we need a mad South American type to stir us into action

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

Kieran Cunningham

[EstebanSexface]

Bielsa is managing Uruguay

[myboyblue]

@EstebanSexface

Bielsa is managing Uruguay

He’s retired Suarez and Cavani as well by the looks of it. He’s a great sort.

[EstebanSexface]

Surely it’s always been robbies dream to manage his country, what’s he at these days?

[farmerinthecity]
