FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

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...

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...

[quit yo jibbajabba]

John Delaney having a bad day on the twitter. Seems as though he's been using an anonymous account to largely slag Irish journalists/Brian kerr and one of them has caught on 😆😆

Neil o'riordan or
jim7777now for those interested

Not the greatest.

[seafoid]

So they have a sponsor at last.
Carsley has ruled himself out.

FAI will be hoping O'Shea makes a decent fist of his interim period in charge so that they can appoint him on the cheap.

Not the greatest.

I'm a fan of the jersey; I know Castore isnt the greatest quality but it looks good; very old schol like the jersey they had in the nineties; could do without the sponsor though.
