O'Neill & Keane Not To Stoke

[seand]

This is pretty extraordinary.... St Patrick's Athletic have put out a statement endorsing Stephen Kenny for next Ireland manager.... the same Stephen Kenny who has two years left on a contract at one of Pats' rivals

And Derry City getting in on the act

Like Arsenal and Man United joining forces to suggest England take on Pep Guardiola. No vested interest here, no sirree.

You think they are that cynical?

I think they are just fed up of the national team being run by spoofers.

[elguapo4]

I'll declare my vested interest, I don't want Kenny to get the job because you're lot would be straight down the road to Dalymount looking for Keith Long to replace him.

[elguapo4]

It's the "plain speaking Yorkshireman " according to Rte, tbh I think even speaking to Stephen Kenny was just pandering by the F.A.I, they always wanted Mick.

[Lang Spoon]

Fuck sake

[anton pulisov]

The poor man's Martin O'Neil.

Well done FAI.

[Lang Spoon]

Poor Obafemi might be repenting at leisure now.

[Lang Spoon]

When youse don’t qualify for the Euros maybe Kenny will get a go.

[anton pulisov]

Maybe Mick Mac will take Delaney down with him if we're lucky.

A shame that young Seamus Coleman won't see another tournament until he is at least 34.

Mick McCarthy Premier league Record

On a lighter note Just on Nationwide.

"Mary Kennedy: How would you like to be remembered
Maureen O Hara: As a Dub. As a Shamrock Rovers fan. And as a half decent performer."

[anton pulisov]

I'm sure he'll get a tough group and then they'll extend his contract to 2022 so that he can fail again. Then he can make it 1 successful qualification out of 6.

What am I talking about. They've probably already given him a contract until 2022.

[anton pulisov]

1.2 million a year apparently

Morten Olsen managed Denmark for over 15 years for 400k a year. He also developed a football ethos and oversaw youth development.

And look how shit Denmark are now.

[Ek weet nie]

What was the rush?
Why €1.2m?
Why him?

A wasted opportunity to have a public debate about what we want football to be in this country.

[Satchmo Distel]

Maybe Mick Mac will take Delaney down with him if we're lucky.

A shame that young Seamus Coleman won't see another tournament until he is at least 34.

Keep getting relegated from the Nations League to give you a chance of making the 2024 Euros from the bottom pool.

[Duncan Gardner]

What was the rush?
Why €1.2m?
Why him?

* embarrassing not to have a frontman in place for the Dublin draw

* it's the going rate in the ECL

* the current Ipswich supremo isnt àvailable

A wasted opportunity to have a public debate about what we want football to be in this country

You can still have it. There are 4 months to the next game

[George C.]

It's £500k per year, the going rate in the Championship.

The rush apparently to deflect from calls for Delaney's head, as now a public petition against his continued tenure.
Thus he doesn't want a debate as such, about the future.

[Lang Spoon]

Will Denis double the wage?

[Lang Spoon]

Who outside other blazers would even notice Ireland’s lack of a manager at the Eutos draw? No one remembers where these things are held the minute after they are done.

So we are lumbered with Mick so Delaney doesn’t get shown up in front of his fellow kleptocrats. Fuck sake.

[anton pulisov]

Delaney's contract is to 2020 apparently, according to Early in the Irish Times.

Mick might be Delaney's Trojan Horse.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

it literally makes no sense in any context other than Delaney trying to quieten his critics.

Does Anyone know how much Mick was on at Ipswich, and was it €1.2 million a year plus bonuses?

I assumed that he loved us so much he'd do it for free. Just how much money does he need? I suppose delaney is delighted that he's got it over the line for just Two Joe Schmidt salaries, rather than the Three that Martin O'Neill was getting.

[That Night In Barcelona]

Where has the €1.2 million come from? And is it that amount plus bonuses or including potential bonus payments?

[Sean of the Shed]

FAI showing a great deal of confidence by saying he'll replace McCarthy after the Euro 2020 finals. My money would be on Mick being a pundit for those finals rather than a manager.
