As we all know the FAI are broke so he is save enough . Aagin as you know in todays game lose 3 game and the fans want change , now in the case of Watford that idea go's out the window .

Give Kenny the qualifiers without doubt. Kenny got the job mainly on his successes at Dundalk. It must be said that in the latter years there, he had the biggest budget and best players in the league as evidenced by so much success.He won't have the best players at international level and will have to work with what he has. While his earlier successes at Dundalk merit more credit, after all he assembled a good team from a group of LOI journeyman on a shoestring budget. He was able to coax improved performances from the players he had. In the games for Ireland to date we can see he is trying to establish a structure and tactical formation. The key question is can he improve the players to a degree to make his systems deliver winning matches. How long will the players stay in board with Kenny if we keep losing to teams like Finland ?

What did we get to show for it in those years? 2015: Ireland 1-1 Poland Ireland 1-1 Scotland Poland 2-1 Ireland Bosnia 1-1 Ireland 2016: Ireland 1-2 Belarussia Ireland 0-3 Belgium Serbia 2-2 Ireland Or even 2017: Ireland 0-0 Wales (v 10 men) Ireland 0-1 Iceland Ireland 1-1 Austria Georgia 1-1 Ireland Ireland 0-1 Serbia (v 10 men) Denmark 0-0 Ireland Ireland v Denmark 2nd Leg. Not too many wins for the Hoofball Henrys from that lot. I think I'll pass on 2018. MON won 1 of his first 9 games in charge, but kept his job for 5 years over 3 campaigns. One thing he was not short of, was time. I think Kenny needs rather longer than 5 games to put a long term strategy in place, and front foot tactics more advanced than planting the ball on Duffy's head in the last 10 minutes. We need root and branch reform of how we play, not another quick fix who fixes nothing at all.

It's frightening when you read a Planning post for amusement and find yourself agreeing with it.

unfortunately in the Kenny era the problem isn’t just winning, its worst than that. We don’t score.
So let’s just move on from somehow trying to favourly compare this era to martin O’Neill’s or mick’s era. Let’s just concentrate on the now. We are obsessed with previous managers and what they say and do. It’s like footballing PTSB.

I don't think any previous Ireland manager has had to cope with the level of disruption Kenny had over these 3 games. The number of withdrawals of key players was unprecedented and even in tournament football, having 3 games in 6 days is very uncommon.
Despite all of the above, and the belief instilled in many by previous managers that we don't have the players to play anything other than hoofball, Kenny has turned us in to a passing team. Those pass completion stats are incredible and I don't give a f**k which third of the pitch they were in. Do you think all of Spain's passes were in the final third? Give me a break. Kenny is a breath of fresh air. Once we have a full squad to pick from the results will come and when the 21s qualify for the Euros, we'll have something to get excited about next summer as we watch the next generation on the big stage.

I support Kenny but that is a disaster of an opinion. Thankfully Kenny will very much care where the passes actually get us.

I’m for Kenny getting time but saying O’Neill was a failure is nonsense, we hadn’t beat a higher ranked team competitively before him for 14 years. He beat 5, including the world champions. Hadn’t beaten a higher ranked team away in 26 +years, he done it twice in his stint. Got us to the last 16 of the euros and we gave a good account of ourselves and went out with pride. |

Ridiculous post. Selective smattering of results. Leaving out the good results. Could do the same for Alex Ferguson or Klopp or from Charlton's time in charge of Ireland. Utter dross.
