FAI...New Manager Hunt continues

[AFS]

I enjoyed this from the comments section on a F365 article.

Thanks Giovanni, despite the vitriol that has been sent your way, and no doubt will continue to be, by clueless kn*bheads and armchair pundits and know-it-alls like Dunphy, you did a good job. Yes, his best days are behind him. And yes, he's stubborn as hell, but I would be as well if I had an entire nation thinking they know better than me because they read it in the papers. Granted, he didn't get the best out of the team in the end, but every tool in the country talking like they could do any better, like they know what's what and know who's needed... ugh. First we needed Andy Reid, "Why isn't he in the team?", they bayed. Then Stephen Ireland, "He's the player we need, get him back." Then Séamus Coleman. Then James McClean. Then Wes f*cking Hoolahan, on and on and on from muppets who've seen him in a few highlight reels on Saturday nights. Oh! Guess what! Andy Reid is playing really well again for Forest! He's the one we needed all along! Bloody tiresome. And f*ck the modern-day obsession with "good football" as the be-all and end-all. It's just a passing plague that Barcelona and their fanboys unleashed upon the world so we should all get moist at night thinking about triangles. Thanks for the memories, Trapattoni. Enjoy your time away from this nation of complainers. Onwards and upwards to... who do they all want, this knowledgeable public? Martin O'Neill? He's the latest cause they're championing? Christ on a bike, a chequebook manager with no use for his chequebook...

Sounded like a fan that was delighted he was gone but still went on a rant regardless.

There is some clamour for Wes Hoolahan.  If he is so good how can he barely get a sniff at the mighty Norwich City and its not as if he is new on the scene, he is nearly 30 and has had a pretty average career so far.  Same goes for Andy Reid, dunno what shape he is in now but he was always overweight and looked decent in lower leagues, came up to the premiership and wasn't too hot.

Hughton has gone for a different type player recently, more like the way Trap did all along. Plus they signed Elmander and Hooper. He is 31 now, he might not have had a career like Iniesta but well capable of starting for Ireland.

Sean Murray of Watford is a great young player. Still 19, Attacking midfield player . Shane Duffy, Robbie Brady. Jeff Hendrick. There is some decent young talent for a new manager. I'd imagine the new manager will go to more games then Trap did, while he was in charge.

He'll have to go to reserve games to watch the likes of Duffy unless he gets another loan spell in the lower leagues.

Yeah, should have got a move a loan during the summer. But in the long run he is a player with good potential. Its not as if the Euro 16 Qualifiers are starting next month.

Saw Reid playing the other week, that about sums up were he is at the moment.

Roy Keane should be given the job, no question. He'll f*ck things upside down so completely that the entire FAI head honchos will have no choice but to walk along with himself. Then whatever comes afterwards will seem like progress, hopefully by which time a few middling decent players might be coming through.

Yes... let's get a man with a terrible managerial CV and a history of falling out with people to come and take a country which he left just before the World Cup to replace a manager who had previously fallen out with a lot of the players.

He shouldn't be let near it! Actually he should be tried for treason!!!

Don't think there is a chance Keane will get it, Delaney said as much in an interview with Newstalk.

Reid is actually playing very well for Forest at the moment but yeah the championship is probably about his level. Not that Ireland given it's resources can afford to be too sniffy about players who are capable of playing very well at that level.

Terrible CV? He has managed a grand total of two clubs! As for a history of falling out with people, he'd be a manager, not a team mate. How many managers do you think try to be mates with their players!

He would make a good candidate in my view (not that I think he will go for it/be wanted by the FAI).

As for the treason comment, you may apply that to every dipstick that decided they didn't want to play in friendlies/meaningless qualifiers due to 'injury' or 'tiredness'!

Aye because walking out on your country at a World Cup is the same as a player not going to a friendly against China or Georgia etc
