John O'Shea Republic of Ireland Football Manager

[ollie_out_west]

The latest murmerings from the FAI was that they had a candidate selected but couldn't announce until early April, due the existing contract constraints with the candidate in question. That would suggest Wily Sagnol or Gus Poyet most likely. Now all of a sudden Roy Keanes back in the frame as a leading candidate? Can't make head nor tail of that one, if they wanted Keane it could have been done months ago, although they were probably fixated on Carsley at that time. This is either pure media speculation, or there reacting to the feel good vibe with John O'Shea and retrofitting Keane into the equation as manger with the Interim set up as his back room team. Would the FAI just put us all out of our misery and make the appointment, so we can get on with the misery of following Ireland.

Finn Azaz: It was always Ireland. It’s always been a goal of mine to play for Ireland

Finn Azaz strolled into the Aviva Stadium mixed zone on Tuesday night as, at long last, a senior Ireland international.

Didn't realise he has such strong Cork connections. Grand uncle a dual player and All-Ireland winner with Cork. You sometimes can scoff at these English born players coming in but often forget they have strong ties to Ireland. He was absolutely delighted after the debut too which was great to see!

If this turns out to be true its fucking hilarious from a point of view of the shitshow of the FAI.........just pull off the band aid and either give it to Keano for the box office, or appoint O'Shea.

'Shitshow' is being very kind, imo. God help us, but it's appalling, makes the Welsh RU look like Apple.

Didn't they say around a month ago that they already had their man? Spoofers

FAI director of football Marc Canham has stated that a new Republic of Ireland manager will be announced in “early April”.

“Existing contractual obligations” bind Canham in a “confidential process” until after the March friendlies against Belgium and Switzerland, he said at a press conference in the Aviva Stadium.

“It’s at a really advanced stage,” said Canham. “The announcement will be in early April.

However he works for the FAI
Spooking is a prerequisite for employment

Listening to a lot from Martin O'Neill lately. Love the man, but he seems quite bitter towards Nottingham Forest since the big man sacked him.

Nobody wants this job. They should give to Roy and let his staff be the Overlap crew.

 

[Blue Jasmin]

Give it to Eileen Gleeson and let Roy take over the ladies team.

Solskjaer has gone from 80/1 to odds on favourite...
