    not all of us share them Des..

    Yeah but most of us do. THB I don't how anyone could think that they weren't a shambles. Staunton was sacked 3 months ago and they haven't even thought about who they're going to approach. England had a new manager within a few weeks.

    To be fair the FAI didn't have Capello throwing himself at them.

    Yeah, some of us have blinkers on when it comes to the FAI.

    They are a shambolic shambles in everything they do. Everything. Every hour of every day of every week.
    Yet you still think they shouldn't go with the fans choice for this manager? :) I'd much rather go with someone the fans want (we're not stupid) over Venables or Stan.

    They mentioned flanzer, because he started the thread. I assume.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias

    Deschamps is a good move imo. Better than Venables one would think.

    Lads, get in line for autographs. You must pay me to have a photo with you. €5 per photo. Max 2 photos as I haven't got much time. My PaddyPower shares went through the roof, cashed them in and I'm heading for Mexico! :D

    In all seriousness, Newstalk have yet to contact me. I'm hoping I haven't created a monster, Deschamps takes the job and we're all happy

    Whore! (thats at least 2 mentions in the national media for boards.ie today!)

    Mike.

    Did they mention Flanzer is due to be estebancambiaso's bitch if this all goes tits up lol

    I just heard on the radio that THE reason Deschamp's odds have plummeted is because some crazyass dude put €6K on him to be the manager this lunchtime. Frankly though I dont know any bookies who would take such a bet, I tried to put €20 on Roy Hodgson a few weeks before Xmas at 25/1 and the max bet with Mr.Power was €15 ! LOB.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    Lol..Flanzer you better be on your toes. Il hunt ya down.

    If he is made manager, then me and you can head over to Dublin Airport for a meet and greet. Drinks on me.

    Ye, but if you want to wager a larger sum they can ring up HQ to get it approved.

    Houghton speaks(just seen this now its been around for ages). What a muppet. This numpty responsible for selecting the next manager.

    We need to be realistic? Eh is beating Cyprus, Slovakia and Wales home and away being unrealistic?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,726 ✭✭✭kaisersose77


    the thought of having a continental manager was fun while he lasted

    any excitement in ireland playing in the qualifiers will be gone when Venables gets the job next monday :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,372 ✭✭✭✭Mr Alan


    will you give the FAI credit if they appoint Deschamps Des? Seriously


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    I would love it if Deschamps got the job but I can't se this happening. Seems too good to be true.

    Will probably be Venables or McCarthy. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    If this was a year later, and Drogheda did well in Champions League and at home, Doolin would be a prime candidate in my opinion. He should be our next manager. He needs to be involved with the next Irish set-up.

    I hope Dolan goes about getting his badges, I really like him. He was right what he said if you manage in Ireland, you are considered a joke, which is wrong.

    Doolin-2006 and 2007 Setanta cup.

    2007 Eircom League title

    FAI Cup 2005.

    Very good record. I think managers would get more credibility if an All-Ireland league was formed, with 20 teams(or 18) in the league.

    lolwtf?

    correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't Didier leave Juve because the place was a shambles? why would he want to walk straight into another shambolic setup so?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    He yearns for adventure? Hopefully he buys a house over my side of the city(Its Bono country), we could form a close bond.

    :confused:

    I'd rather not see Doolin get the job because I really don't rate him that highly. He was given bucketloads of money to assemble that Drogheda squad and still managed to get them playing dour football.

    I admit I am not that familar with Eircom League, I go to a few games a season and watch Fat ass(TV3 guy) with Osama(?, the Paths guy) and that Mulligan guy on Mondays. Hopefully RTE will have better coverage and at a better time. 7.30 please on a Monday, seriously who cares about a God damn Hippo.
