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.

They might as well let him have it, its clear they don’t know what they are doing and going to get anyone better.

I read Stephen Kenny was on 330k.

Letting him go without having their homework done on a successor is just the latest fiasco the organisation has orchestrated.

Letting it rumble on for another 4 months is bizarre
