    Well it looks like McCarthy may be on his way out... whether Keane goes back or not, and whether Mick saves his reputation or not, I doubt he's got a hell of a long time left...

    Who would you like to see replacing him?

    Joe Kinnear should have got it the last time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,985 ✭✭✭✭zAbbo


    I`d go for Dave O Leary, very impressed with what he`s done with leeds and seems to have good personal/media/player skills that Mick McCarthy doesn`t have.

    If Dave O Leary was the boss i doubt we`d be in the situation we`re in at the mo.

    Just to recap
    sitution: captain sent home from World Cup :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,458 ✭✭✭✭gandalf


    Well I'm not voting in this one.

    Talk about premature the bloody Irish team haven't even kicked a ball in anger and cr@p like this is a appearing. Lets get the WC over with and then see how the dust settles.

    What happens if they win it........(I know it would take a miracle)

    FAI Muppet "ahh Mick thanks for winning us the WC now fuk off !!!"

    Joe K should have gotten it last time, and hope he should get it now..

    Lest it not be forgotten, that Mick got us to the World Cup. Out of a group that no one (me included) give us a hope in hell. That should not be forgotten. But its on small things like this that careers turn...

    Lee Carsley :D

    Seriously though - Martin O' Neill.

    Could ask David O Leary or Martin O Neill to do the job, part time if they werent going to leave their respective clubs (Which is highly unlikely at this stage). A lot of Irish players play in the premiership anyway so O Leary for example would be keeping an eye on them anyway. Would require top class support, but perhaps people like Kinnear , whose heart might prevent him from taking on the frontline job but a less exsposed stressful role might be right up his street. Meanwhile McCarthy can return to the mediocre 1st division management hes best suited for. His 3-5-2 formations, playing Roy in central defence, and his wonderful subistute stroke in Macedonia are just some examples of his quality.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,818 ✭✭✭Bateman


    Em, can someone answer two questions re: O Leary.

    How much has he spent in the past few years?
    Hint: more than Chelsea, for a start.

    What has David O Leary won as a manager?
    Hint: Fùck all.


    I have to laugh at the candidates. Jack Charlton is retired from the job. Joe Kinnear would have us playing long ball football. We are not Brazil, but we are better than that. McCarthy has not turned us into the most skillful players in the world, but at least the game we play under McCarthy isn't the Charltonesque long ball. John Giles will never take another job in Irish football again after his last one. Anyone who knows anything about Shamrock Rovers will know how disillusioned with the FAI John Giles is.
    Martin O Neill will not leave Celtic for this job, I would be pretty sure of that. He is quite young, and knows they would offer it to him at some stage in the future if he turned it down now. Although he would be the first person I would go for.
    Failing O Neill, there is only on candidate. Brian Kerr.
    I don't know why Alex Ferguson is mentioned, funny.

    ,
    I agree
    Martin O Neill will not leave Celtic for this job

    Why not some of these guys?

    Winfried Schäfer
    Sven-G Eriksson
    Phil Troussier
    Camacho José Antonio
    Miracle man Milutinovic
    Trapattoni Giovanni

    England finally woke up and realised that England premiership coaches were useless for the England team. They decided to get better coaches from abroad.

    Ireland of course will do nothing of the sort. If you want good coaches go to Spain.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,818 ✭✭✭Bateman


    In fairness England have had some excellent coaches over the years, like Hoddle, Venables, and Bobby Robson, the press just drove them out.
    But generally, I'd agree, England finally realised the time had come to look abroad, and, well, lets not judge now, but Eriksson is doing alright.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,693 ✭✭✭tHE vAGGABOND


    Yea, **** that - Joe K playing football thats proven to work year in and year out..

    that would be awful..

    Plus Inteternational maangement is hardly stressful, 6 games a year :)

    If Mick goes the post will be a bit piosoned anyway, t'will be a bit hard to get people to take it.

    Don't go counting those chickens just yet.

    They won't get past the group stage, S-G will head back to Italy soon after. back to square 1

    I agree Joe Kinnear would have been my choice last time. I think it's rather ignorant to suggest he would have the team playing long ball anyway. Kinnear is a very canny manager who gets the best out of the resources he has available. I thought last time if he had gotten the job he would have gotten the best out of the team and not necessarily using long ball.
    And I see O'Leary is top choice at the moment, of the named managers. If anyone is going to suggest that McCarthy has mismanaged things then I might dare to suggest that O'Leary could give him some tips on mismanaging in even more style.
    At the end of the day though, in all fairness to the current manager we should as Gandalf said leave this kind of discussion until after the world cup, at the end of the day.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 48 IrishGuykokoJin


    Bateman, NeRb666..

    I already think that Sven G Eriksson has proved his worth, he got an England side that was in a shambles, pulled them together and managed to qualify.
    The problem now is that England are now in the group of death.
    Personally I think, Sweden ( unbeaten in the last 22 games?) and Nigeria are much better sides. I think England will fail ( and so will Ireland ).

    Even if ireland do go through to the last 16, this will be McCarthy's last days as manager. I hope we get some one from the Spainish league instead of England

    Martin O' Neill


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56 ✭✭jacksonflam


    'SIR' Alex Ferguson??????????? Sir?????????? Do we need to acknowledge that title, recognise it, bow and scrape to the monarchist institution that elevates him above others and reduces others to inferiority. We, in Ireland are proud and free citizens. We are not subjects. We have a constitution.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,201 ✭✭✭Quigs Snr


    Indeed a party political broadcast from Sinn Fein above there. I would put 'Sir' Osama Bin Laden in charge if it would get Roy back. Kinnear should have gotten it last time no doubts about it. Maybe we should be looking abroad. However I don't think there will be a queue of people looking for the job. We have a very poor pool of players lets face it. It's not exactley glamourous.

    Ferguson, O'Neill and O'Leary would be as likely to take the job as Elvis, Jimi Hendrix and Shergar.

    O'Neill would be my choice in an ideal world.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56 ✭✭jacksonflam


    Wrong. Reactionary and ignorant. There is more than one dimension.

    Considering Bobby Robson got them to WC SF, I don't think old Sven has quite proved his worth yet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 235 ✭✭Yerac


    I think it's amazing that people would be talking about a new manager 3 days before our FIRST game at the World Cup. I also find it amazing that McCarthy's job comes under threat after actually getting Ireland to a finals.
    I think Mick should be allowed to continue his 2 year contract (until after Ireland's involvement in euro2004 has ended), judge him then on his 8 years in charge, see if he even wants to continue in the job and have a poll like this then.
    As for the choices mentioned they are truly laughable; O'Leary has been disastrous at Leeds, Kinnear doesn't belong near a top side, Giles - don't think this deserves an explanation, Charlton has had his time and has said he's finished with management, Ferguson unavailable and probably uninterested, Roy Keane - this is the joke option right?.
    I would agree with some of the other suggestions though, Martin O'Neill would be a good man, as would Brian Kerr, although I don't think the FAI would give it someone like him who is only high profile in the domestic/under-age scene.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,818 ✭✭✭Bateman


    >only high profile in the domestic/under-age scene.

    It will be time for a change pretty soon, and the FAI will have to take note. :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 66 ✭✭prenton


    Definitely Martin O'Neill but hes probably to strong for the FAI to handle so they'll probably go for someone weaker that they can push around.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,761 ✭✭✭✭Winters


    Humm. Where is Atari Jaguar? :D

    I HOPE McCarthy will stay on. He is a GREAT manager and just because of some arsehole givin him **** does he have to retire?

    Keane...burn in a hot place :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,810 ✭✭✭DRakE


    I'd go with Martin O'Neill tbh..

    he's done a great job at celtic imo


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,219 ✭✭✭plastic membrane


    I'd love to see Martin O'Neil get the job, but there's a vacancy in Manchester in three years with his name on it. Knowing our luck, Roddy Collins will be the next manager of Ireland.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,392 ✭✭✭✭kaimera


    DUNPHY for manager!! :D:D
    and for president


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,772 ✭✭✭Lennoxschips
