FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[Itchy]

It appears that the FAI have no money so they are finding it tough to pin down a decent candidate.

Yep, spent it on the suits and pints for John Delaney

There are still loads of managers out of work . It is a very volatile profession. Just look at Gerrard in Saudi. 4 months without a win .
They don't earn money if they are not working. So it might appeal to someone who wants to relaunch his career who thinks he has something to work with. If nobody sees the potential then it will be much harder.

Just bumping this up again...
Dean Smith or even Graham Potter?
It's a month before the friendlies so surely that's a deadline...

[An Watcher]

No harm Captain Scarlett but I'm sure Potter has his eyes on more attractive posts than ireland manager.  We're shopping in the championship level, potter is premier league. Dean Smith might be more our level fair enough

[lurganblue]

I thought a while ago that Dean Smith would be good appointment.

What's Mick McCarthy up to these days? 

[Armagh18]

Big Sam.

Neil Warnock - job share with Aberdeen?

[Hound]

Kenny was on €520,000 but they have upped the salary to €700,000 for the new man. But apparently  still well below championship salaries, albeit surely far less work.

Looks like they are doing their best to secure Carsley and the sticking point is the salaries of his staff. Rumour that if they can't get him, they'll stick in John O'Shea as temp manager with Anthony Barry taking over in the summer when he's finished with Bayern and Portugal.

Is Jimmy Mc Guinness a realistic option...

If we were to tank them on Sunday....

It's so FAI to throw in more money in the hope of fixing a problem. It only means the new man will fail more expensively. It'll be hard to come up with many of our players who'll be playing *regularly* in the Premier league next season, maybe Ogbene and Ferguson. By international standards we're not even Championship Div. 1 level, more like mid-table Div. 3.

Brian Kerr has been added to the interim  management team

[Captain Scarlet]

Happy to see Kerr back in. Mixed bag in terms of O'Shea. There were good things said but then he seems to be floating a bit now.
Would they hope for a lift and then if it goes well do it like the women's team? Keep him on in some form...
