He'd be just the lad for it, guaranteed Irish:pac:

Joe Schmidt or failing that the lad that coached the Irish Women's Hockey team. Better still a dream team of both of them.

Would've liked to have seen Chris Coleman in the mix.

Delaney is the poxbottle that should be next out on his ear.

Well I just can't wait to find out which new surname I'm going to be sick of hearing off every day in the media for the next few years. Exciting times.

Diego Maradona please

Half John Delaney's salary and offer Maradona a bumper deal, if you know what I mean.

Is this a real person?(I’m not a football fan...)

Hammer89 · 22-11-2018 10:56PM

West Ham fan myself. I think the Rice thing was a big disappointment. Him declaring for us, and a decent O'Neill replacement, would be two huge steps.

Noveight · 22-11-2018 11:12PM

Cushty number. Monster salary for coaching a bunch of kick-it-head-it halfwits.

I'll say one thing about Mick McCarthy - he's afraid of nothing.

Stephen Kenny or Mick McCarthy would be my choice, mick is my favorite Irish manager.

Doesn't matter who is in charge.

No problem with Mccarthy. Safe enough hands and a sound guy.

The problems with Irish football are a lot deeper though. We're not currently producing enough players domestically and our traditional method of a combo of embarrassing granny rule (lick arsing **** like Declan Rice) and firing over kids to England to get developed is on the rocks because the standard in England, between their own massively improved academies and them pinching kids from far more developed football countries, is much higher now.

Most Irish football supporters are complicit in this state of affairs because they starve the local game of money and attention and have always looked to England to bring through our players which isn't happening now.

Most of you bought into it. Support Liverpool and expect a decent republic of Ireland team to magically assemble from kids fired over to England from the likes of Joeys, Belvo and Kevin's who just develop kids for that market.

We need to get used to being a pretty tiny nation on the football stage unless we do something like small nations like Croatia or Iceland: real investment in player development, a relatively healthy domestic football league supported fully by our football association.

But yeah, Big Mick Ole Ole etc

Tony O'Donoghue now reporting its not decided yet and that Kenny is still in the running

Speaking of Tony O'Donoghue, Martin ONeill's contemptuous treatment of him reflected very poorly on the former Ireland manager. Showed himself to be a mean spirited & thin skinned child time & again.

completedit · 23-11-2018 12:59AM

Honestly, we are such a joke of a country. In any other small country, a manager who has excelled like Kenny would be the defacto choice, we have some strange obsession with England. Give him a chance to prove himself as a manager in his own country and allow him to use that as a springboard onto a career in top level football. He deserves it for his work with Dundalk over the past 6 years. We're never going to win a world cup, so we might as well bring Kenny in and hopefully he helps at least establish an identity and feel good factor into this team which imo has been missing since around 2006. Even qualifying for Euro 2012 and 16, we had an old team, we need a fresh, vibrant, youthful, quick and pacey team that people can get behind.

Francie Barrett · 23-11-2018 01:02AM

What's David O' Leary doing these days?

Surely we can pry Pep Guardiola away from Man City. Failing that Mick McCarthy is the man.

There may well be a certain Portuguese born manager looking for a new job in the next few months. Could he be tempted I wonder? In the meantime I suppose we will have to go back to Mick Mc. Things didn't end well the last time he was in the role.

Kenny would be mad to manage Ireland.
The Dundalk job is a better job then the Irish one!

I though soccer threads weren't allowed on AH. Or so I was told when I started a thread related to soccer that was deleted for that reason.

Have always seen O'Neill as a whingebag. Have seen an interview where he bashed Our Gerry for the attention he got for scoring in a world cup. Jealous wee toerag so he is.

Anyway as others have said the first step to football redemption is getting rid of Delaney and his cronies. Need change in the FAI.

joeguevara · 23-11-2018 03:38AM

These lads couldn’t be any worse than the last two. Could even bring a few Italian guys in.

This one is more managerial than actual soccer, apologies if I was out of order.

Mods can delete it if it was not in order for AH.
