How can someone fail badly in 16 days? The club changed its direction and strategy and sold all it's best players and got ridof the manager. Wrong place wrong time IMO I do agree though that some people will coach some will manage, but I think someone deserves a little bit more than 16 days to prove themselves

He only lasted a few months at a club in Denmark as well...

Never heard Marcelo Bielsa mentioned what odds is he, looked at his profile looks quality, hope the look at this kind of canditiate and dont just go for O'Neill

He has a devent recird, irish and great man manager. he knows the team. i'd have me reservations about his tactics and hunger but it also is a bit logical seeing as he is abailable. He is also the attractive name for the fair weather fans who have turned their back on Ireland but would be intrigued with o'neill given the role and may come back. I would put my house on O'Neill getting it. I will be absolutely shocked if he doesn't.

You still living with the folks

McDermotts odds sure to take a walk..........now if you were planning a betting coup !!!

Back in to 4/9 now, the 11/10 he was last night looks like easy MONey :-)

Don't think MON (A N Other) will put that many on the Kazack gate on a wet Tues and those that do are deluded themselves. Get him in place for the euro draw in Feb   would prefer to wait and sound out who would be interested and what they can bring to the table - would still prefer the continental route be it a young hungry manager or and older more experienced international coach. (having English as a language would be a necessity though)

Right here, A new manager will not want to start with a dead rubber away to Germany, but would be useful to start v Kazak !

If its going to be o'neill then might as well get him in ASAP in my opinion, I know the FAI will wanna save money in wages but O'Neill could get potentially two packed houses (potentially) for the Kaz game and November friendly.
Can you imagine he gets the job then calls back the likes if Reid and Gibson. Everyone starts feeling this is going to be great and shows the support with their feet. It gives the manager time to work more with the players.
Also means we get our man before someone else does. Be worth it in my opinion.
Although a daunting trip to Germany is not the ideal way to start, unless you can pull off the unbelievable!

JD was on talksport this evening. Basically in summary he said O'Brien would be stumping up money again. He also said they were in no panic to appoint a manager i.e. they wouldn't be panicking and getting one in before next months double header. He was asked about Roy Keane being in the frame and had a good laugh on it but when pressed on it he said he wouldn't be ruling anybody out at this stage. He also said they wouldn't be necessarily looking for a manager who was out of work.
