Harry Redknapp for the Ireland Job???

Seve OB

I heard it was mentioned on the radio this morning, So if von trap were to go,

Would he be a good option?
Would he take it, especially after the english FA snubbed him so bluntly?

Don't be ridiculous, he'd cost even more than Trap!

I think the idea of internation football appeals to him. He could then get a load of commentary gigs in England and work only a couple of weeks a year.

I think he'd then start to realise he can't sign players and get frustrated with it!!!

I think he'll wait a few months and maybe the Chelsea job will open up for him. I reckon he'll be back in the premiership within a few months. May even swap jobs with Moyes!

I think it would be a horrible drop from England to Ireland for Redknapp. He'll hang around until either Hodgson gets sacked or a team in England get on a "it has to be an English manager" buzz.

Father Damo

Loving the likely options being thrown about.

We could have Keane, who in the unlikely event of actually qualifying would fall out with the entire squad and send them home by training camp time.

We could have Domenech. A mentally fragile gobsh1te last seen in an Irish context cheating us out of a WC spot.

And now Arry. He seems like a nice bloke but he doesnt have a great record for loyalty once his stock goes up and people start waving chequebooks at him. Not to mention how awful the decline at Spurs was when it looked like he was on the brink of leaving.


All of this and there isnt even a hint that Trap is getting sacked/ resigning.

I don't know whether it'd be a good option. He would know a good deal about the squad already though.

Would he take it, especially after the english FA snubbed him so bluntly?

At his age, international management would be ideal and the FAI would pay him a nice sum. It's possible.

Father Damo

Another point to take would be that he blatantly doesnt rate Robbie as being a top level player anymore. He would play him for popularity reasons against minnows, or give him a run out if we were 3-0 up or what not, but I doubt Keane would take kindly enough to being stripped of the captaincy to bother turning up, could create a whole situation the FAI wouldnt fancy.

Seve OB

he might leave Robbie Keane in LA (where he sent him once already) and pick a us a new striker

GavRedKing

I'd rather we clear up the FAI before we bring in another character like 'Arry TBH.

Until I see him talking about it from the Range rover, I wont believe it!

Would he get a percentage of every Irish passport he issues to each new plastic Paddy in the squad?

€1.5m before tax, after tax it'd be €1.5m. :pac:

A few facts for you....

Before Henry's goal we weren't assured to qualify for anything, it was 1-1 on aggregate, we were robbed of a chance to book a spot, there's a considerable difference.

But of course everyone conveniently forgets this when people lament about that night, we missed umpteen sitters, but I suppose you've probably forgotten that too.

But carry on... Domenech, Henry rabble rabble rabble.


Don't want Harry for the job, but I'd take Mourinho.

Please dont start this ****e again.

The reason the majority of people wouldnt like Domenech is because he is a gob****e and a terrible manager.

Anyways Trap has another 2 years on his contract and he isnt going anywhere.

Sorry, but I'm so sick of it being constantly dragged up, I know I'm not helping matters by commenting on the post, but you can't be robbed of something you don't have!

Couldn't agree more, he's a total smeg head.

Back on topic...

The final shot count in that game was France 16, Ireland 5. So by Irish standards we were absolutely 'dominating' the game and heading for an easy victory (if you believe Joe Public). :pac:

Trap is in the Mick McCarthy scenario now following WC 2002. He's on borrowed time. A bad start to the qualifiers and trap is gone faster than you can say men...tal...ity.

PhlegmyMoses

Redknapp would be a terrible choice. Imagine his messiah-like press conferences to the little Paddies telling us all how grateful we should be to have someone like him. No thank you.

peabutler

Mick McCarthy has to be the first choice, the best manager we've ever had and he was screwed by Saipan.

flyswatter

He'd be the complete opposite of Trap, could get Ireland playing proper football again, he had Spurs playing the best football to watch in the league.

Seeing as Denis O'Brien is a tax exile maybe he will continue to bankroll the wages of Irish managers. In that case managers like Redknapp could be affordable.

In any case it looks certain that Trap will stay. I hope he stays true to his word that he will introduce new players and systems for the 2014 World Cup qualification campaign.

Poor manager, wouldn't be bottom on my list.

farna_boy

Considering how badly he managed Spurs towards the end of this season, I would have to say definitely no. Spurs could have sailed into 3rd and automatic CL qualification and now instead they are playing Thursday night football.

Also don't we have enough allegations of corruption within the government without bringing into the national team as well? Although, for some reason I would imagine him getting on very well with Delaney.

Finally, the man is clearly delusional and possible having some sort of breakdown going by his recent comments:

Frankly, I wouldn’t swap England’s front six for any at this tournament – including Spain’s.
