John O'Shea Republic of Ireland Football Manager

[Happyhonkaman]

No manager till September

Bazunu out for 9 months

Thats a very optimistic statement! This is the latest date the FAI have given us, no explanation, no anything, just that they will be longer and SheasY gets another few games in the meantime. If you were being cynical you might suggest that they have become aware of their own sheer incompetence, and at that stage Johno will have 4 or 5 games under his belt, so he might as well carry on as the easy option.. he just needs a win or two.

Who knows.. maybe Carsley or Roy or Gus, or OGS, or Barry, or Di Matteo, or Lennon, or anyone else they dropped their knickers for will have a sudden realisation that it's actually an amazing opportunity and people just haven't realised it yet.

On the flip side, they have saved about 6 months of the managers salary so if they spread that across the term they can offer an extra 5% per year.. that'll do it

The FAI knew what there were doing employing Mark Canham, he is a bigger spoofer than JD if that is even possible.

No one wants the gig as the money isnt great in relative terms.

No Redacted footing half the wages for a name manager so we're back to novices or journeymen.

So go and fish in the right pond then! We have half a mill a year and a team with very limited opportunities to progress significantly. There’s a group out there that will take that job whoever they are, no point chasing fellas who don’t want the job!

This is exactly what most people pointed out to the Kenny out no matter what crowd!

Yep, no explanation, nothing. Just check back in winter and we might have something

Nice one.. imagine a presentation like that in a proper company with a board and shareholders!

I was thinking the same thing, "you know that thing I was suppose to have ready and submitted for April, we'll it won't be ready now until September"

If I O Shea I tell the FAI to go fuck themselves and another job if he could.

Brian kerr won't be available for these games due to prior commitments.Huge sigh of relief in Hungary and Portugal no doubt.

You only have to look at the names thrown out here as likely successors to Kenny to gauge the disconnect between the candidates they're likely to attract and who people think will take it.

John O'Shea or Duffer are about the level of fella we could get.

Duffer has been pretty vocal about what a bunch of c*nts he thinks the FAI are so he's out.


Roy would have to take a major haircut from his TV work and would be a complete disaster. It would be hilarious though as the Jackeen scum/Jackeen scum media would be rattled out of their minds before it all turned to shit.

I read an interesting stat on this last week - apparently €600k a year is more than 1/3 of the coaches going to Euro24 earn.

The problem with stats is they can be used to distort any argument so you could immediately think that lots of really good coaches you'd know are working for that kind of money.. but in reality it probably means the coaches of Georgia, Ukraine, Romania, Albania, Hungary, Slovenia, and maybe Czech and Serbia

So that would be Willy Sagnol, Serhiy Rebrov, Iordanescu, Sylvinho, Marco Rossi, Matjaz Ken, Ivan Hasek and Stojkovic

Half of them you'd have had little option about and there would probably only be 1 or 2 you'd get excited about.. but they are all going to the Euros and thats our budget range. The FAI need to get their heads out of their h*les and work out who will realistically take the job for the money on offer, and pick the best of that group

... or just give it to Johno after his latest temporary manager appointment

Faroe Islands still a bit worried, however.
