Which International Manger would you like managing your nation?

Rollo Tamasi

None of them are fantastic on paper but Lawrie up in the north gets my vote. He has passion, has a tactical mind and is better all round than Toshack, Staunton, McLeish and McClaren imo.

Edit, ****e, the poll was never added.
Any chance the 5 mangers mentioned can be added to a poll?

Are there only 5 countries in the world now?

From the English based countries that contain most PL players
Wales/England/Ireland/N.Iron/Scotland...I would have thought that was obvious no?

If it has to be a manger I'll go with Jesus' Manger.
Jesus ruled. So his manger might too....

Maybe that's why we ended up with Stan. He applied for the "manger position" thinkin he'd get a crib for his bed.:D:D

christ, this thread is ready for the scrap heap

We're depressed we need a lift

I'd like Paul Jewell or Neil Warnock. Someone who manages teams that are usually in a scrap (be it promotion or relegation) and more imporantly who can get the most out of the shíte at his disposal.

No. And what are you on about English based countries? I dont understand that at all.

FAI can't afford to sack Staunton, and we can't afford any really half decent manager (unless one of our many multi millioners would kindly consider donating to the cause a la Ambramovich). Charlton quit, McCarthy Quit, Kerr didn't have his contract renewed, none off them were sacked outright (AFAIK). i don't see that pattern changing anytime soon either. This thread is kinda pointless...

if we were to engage in wishful thinking here i would actually like Sam Allardyce.... never gonna happen though

ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV

it would never happen in a trillion years but i'd like marcelo lippi..

bohsman

McLaren might be out of a job over on the mainland soon enough, could poach him I suppose.

Lippi is reluctiont to manage in england because of his poor English you could imagine him trying to figure the Irish accent

Savman

If you ask me, Kerr was the best person for the job. It was a pity to see him go, worse still when you consider FAI had no great plan of action other than "ah sher it'll be grand"
Only a bunch of idiots...oh wait...:rolleyes:

Aye we need an underdogger alright, or someone with track record of getting the best out of (very) limited resources. Neither Stan nor Bobby Robson fit that criteria imo.

i didnt realise England was actually a group of countries

As for the other countries in the Union, Id recommend McLeish - he does a very good job with the players he has and always has done. His tactical awareness isnt amazing but sure - who's is these days? Hes a battler and is well liked by the players but respected at the same time. Hopefully he can keep up the good work Walter Smith started with the Scotland set up - fingers crossed for Wednesday night.

How many of the team would actually have anything remotely resembling an Irish accent though?

eirebhoy

Gone are those days mate. Kilbane, McGeady and Carsley are the only foreign born players in the squad.

herbieflowers

maybe that's why we've been so poor of late...a lack of Englishmen!

eirebhoy

Don't worry. Folan, Bruce and St Ledger will save us.

herbieflowers

shame about Chliontáin not being in the squad though, I'm still peeved...

Then again the England team has 11 Englishmen in it and they're not much use either!
