McCarthy even money fav kenny second 6/1

The options are bleak but certainly right move for them to be gone. Delaney really has to look at his own position but he won’t

Michael O'Neill occurred to me too - but I wouldn't assume he's leave his own country to manage a team who are really no better!

The FAI will leave it several months - until the latest possible moment, to save shillings! So this thread will be around a long time with lots of names!

Mick McCarthy is the other obvious candidate!

Changing deckchairs on the Titanic. There wont be any real change until Delaney is gone.

The last year has been hell but there were some good times before that.

Bring in Pardiola.

Delighted!! Bring back Mick!!!

OldMrBrennan83

Like to see Kenny but it'll be McCarthy.

Backstreet Moyes

Be surprised if Big Sam is not our first choice

Whoever gets it, the salary should be reduced drastically. €2m per year is terrible value for money and puts us in a position that is hard to sack the manager when the going gets tough.
Poland manager - €260k per year
Swiss manager - €800k
Croatian manager - €700k
Welsh manager - €400k
Dutch manager - €600k
Danish manager - €900k

Heart says give it to Stephen Kenny, head says give it to Mick McCarthy.

Wait until they fly 'Arry Redknapp out of the I'm a celeb jungle.

Will be very interesting to see who Ireland target.

Will they go for a person with Irish links (McCarthy an obvious link, Kenny probably the most interesting possibility, Hughton still a PL manager so highly unlikely). Or, will they just go for best available regardless of nationality or links - in which case who knows. Does Raymond Domenech finally get the job he is linked to every freaking time?

It all depends on the money that is on offer, but for what I reckon will realistically be on offer, Allardyce please.

There's no one better placed to create a plan that works and to squeeze every little bit out of this group of players. For those that want good football, he's not the hoofball dinosaur he's made out to be either and I'd encourage anyone thinking that way to dig a little deeper.

That said, international management has proven time and time again to be an attractive proposition for managers if the money is right so if something drastic happens and the FAI decide to loosen the purse strings then it's a different conversation.

Stephen Kenny and Michael O'Neill would be joke appointments.

GavRedKing

My preference would be Mick McCarthy but I can see Delaney being a bit tighter with the contract this time around so paying Kenny a fraction of what MON/Keane were on would make sense from that POV.

Brian Kerr? Or is he too long out of it now?

Kermit.de.frog

It will be McCarthy

I dont want Michael O'Neill but suggesting they're joke appointments while asking for allardyce speaks volumes about your knowledge of football styles and also the work being done at underage level throughout Ireland.

The one way Big Sam will be a difference to O'Neill is, O'Neill is Mr. positive to the press - Big Sam doesn't hesitate in throwing his players under the bus - as seen at Everton earlier this year!!

What a ridiculous post, the purse strings have been far too loose as is over the last few years and you are dismissing a very successful manager to a job that has plenty of LOI experience in it.

No chance. He'll never get a job from the FAI again.

I'd be shocked if it's not Sam / Mick tbh.
Would Stephen Kenny want it? Don't get me wrong I've a lot of time for him as a manager and a person but I don't know if he would genuinely take it at the moment he has a pretty decent thing going with Dundalk.

What would be interesting would be if Kenny did take it would the attitude to LOI players change in the national setup or would it stay the same?

There has been a lot of talk about lee carsley doing good things would he be up for an assistant role?

Chris Hughton is probably the Irishman currently managing at the highest level and has done an excellent job at Brighton.

I don't think he is an option as I'm not sure he would want it atm.

Give it to Giggsy till the end of the season.

And you have summed up why he won't want it IMO

England can't even get a PL manager to leave the PL these days - what chance Ireland!

Bit left field but I wouldn't mind giving Jokanovic a go.
Plays good football and is progressive. International football would suit him

The salary is very good as is, no doubt about it, but all I mean is that if they were to go a bit higher it would probably open us up to the next tier of manager.

Top managers have gone to similar international teams to us in the past and would do so again if the money was right.

sky88

Chris Hughton would be the one id want but lets be realistic itll never happen

Stephen kenny if give it too as i think hed be something different and fresh ideas

id take big mick back in a heartbeat over allardyce and the rest of the usual mentioned

campo

Lee Carsley maybe he is going really well at Manchester City academy with Mark Kennedy as his assistant.
Brendan Rodgers would be great but we could not afford him.
Or Brian McDermott he did a really good job at Reading and is currently out of work.

PropJoe10

Mick McCarthy gets my vote. Or Stephen Kenny.

Allardyce is/was quite a progressive manager. One of the first ever in U.K. to use things like Opta Stats etc, psychologists with his players to get extra out of them.

Harry Palmr

If Stephen Kenny cannot be persuaded (he might be advised to stick with Dundalk and parley that into a decent job in England and see if he can work his way up the ladder) then the FAI (who are the real problem - with MO'N gone attention really should be turned to Delaney and co) should consider Steven Gerrard! :pac:

nullzero

About time. We can't justify paying his kind wages for managing the side we have.
Time for a new approach, the gravy train of Premier league players is a memory, time to build from the ground up.
Can we get rid of delaney too?

Pete Moss

I think Delaney will go for McCarthy, play the old nostalgia card to distract supporters while JD continues to do sweet FA at the FAI.

Its bee a long time since Brian McDermott had any success.

Unlikely, considering Delaney has surrounded himself with yes men and runs the FAI like his own little fiefdom, I don't see it happening anytime soon
