...Stubbs not quoted in the betting for the Ireland job, Moyes is 50-1 with Paddy Power.

Stephen Kenny 2-1fav
Mick McCarthy 5/2
Sven Goran Eriksen 20-1
Steve Bruce 22-1
Sam Allardyce 25-1 (blue on Oddschecker suggesting he’s getting backed).
Brian Kerr 33-1
Steve McClaren 33-1
Gary Monk 33-1
Chris Hughton 33-1
Harry Redknapp 40-1
David Moyes 50-1

....lots more quoted suggesting the bookies have no idea.

Allardyce is interesting. If the FAI have the cash to pay him then he might feel that he has unfinished business at international levcel...and let's face it, Sam would prefer the PT post it entails - loads of time to get off on his jollies. The football he plays would be up their street too.
 
Who is this guy they keep mentioning? and what is his position in all of this?
John Delaney is the CEO of the FAI and it is him that will choose the next manager, so he's not going anywhere.

Some ridiculous shouts of Allardyce/Moyes/Redknapp above, none of which will be happening.

I would really like Chris Hughton to get the job but there is little chance of that as he is on an EPL salary which the FAI can't match. So hopefully they will give Stephen Kenny a chance. There is little or nothing to lose.
 
Absolute garbage.
Jack Charlton period Ireland was the Golden Years for football over there.

I think it's more about the end justifying the means for Irish fans more than over here...understandable distinction given the massively smaller pool of talent you have to fish in.

O'Neill has been hammered by fans and pundits alike for his style of football with Ireland and his criminal under use of his best playmaker Wes Houlihan during his tenure. Like every manager, including going as far back as Charlton, if results are good then the style of football is tolerated. As soon as results go awry however, it comes in for severe criticism, which is what has happened recently and which has resulted in O'Neill losing his job.

It's one thing for us fans having to put up with it, but to say that we would welcome Allardyce, and that his style is "right up their street" is not only wrong it is ridiculous.

Absolute charleten in my opinion, we had one of the best midfields in Europe and spent ten years kicking it over there heads.

My point related to the FAI. They want results and wont care how. The fans will tolerate it as long as the results come, by and large.

You keep getting this wrong. Maybe you should have a think about the flow of the exchange?
