Marcelo Bielsa

I was reading with the aid of Google translate that the peruvian fa want bielsa as their new coach.

Reckon it wouldn't be any harm adding him to the list and seeing if he's interested.

He would be the kind of manager with international experience that may bide his time and see if an already qualified team has a manager leave their post between now and next June. For one reason or another it usually happens. Wasnt Trap nearly off to the Super Eagles 4 years ago

Javier isn't bullsh*tting. The media have certainly linked him with the Peru, Venezuela, Mexico and Qatar jobs.

Someone said that his odds are 20/1 it appears.  Maybe Delaney has a surprise for all of you before Xmas time Australia have just qualified for the World Cup, why would they replace their coach? Venezuela, under Farias are having their best ever campaign (to my knowledge) so why in gods name would they replace him? Call a spade, a spade here, this is more bullsh*t from Javier again  Google "socceroos bielsa", spaz!  I always provide 100% pure, raw information, if some of you cant handle it, it is up to each one's uprising since childhood to adulthood.  Some  guys have to pay attention to mama and finish the soup.

He is a tactical genius, who favours a flexible 4-2-3-1 that has the ability to morph into a 3-3-1-3 during the game when required. Would play a high intensity, high pressing game too. I would love if he was to take the job but that is about as unlikely as myself getting it

The Peruvian offer was some PERU football offcial contacted Valdano, former real Madrid and Argentina player, who is friend with Bielsa, an offer was made but i think it was rejected.

Poland is looking for him and I think a good offer was made,  he rejected Australia and México for similar situatons, they fired an incumbent manager when there are still things to play for in both cases.

The Irish have to revolutionise the game here, and part of that revolution involves getting the senior team to move away from the traditional british style game to a more sophisticated continental style. If we keep playing the same old stuff we will be like Scotland in no time in the knackers yard of international football. Appointing McCarthy or O'Neill is an Irish solution to an Irish problem. Instead of looking to the future we look to the past.  That old English style game belongs in the history books because it cant produce success in modern football. The game plan is so obvious and easy to defend against and we are being outfoxed tactically and out played technically. Mick might get us to pass it better if he is like the Mick of 2000 but he played 442 nearly all the time which we now know is about as useful in modern international football as Paul Gascoine is to international terrorist negotiations

Pocchettino his only experience was in Español of Barcelona were he got the sack, so check this, he is no world beater  young guy learning his game, but he put a very very average team, IN CL position now, with high tempo, pressing and playing tactically,  a switch between  4-3-3- 4-5-1-, 3-1-4.2 or 4-3-1-2 depending the situations they are facing in games, and he doesnt speak a drop on english in his 10 years playing carrer in Europa between Español,  PSG and Bordeaux, but he has the BIELSA school. the Bielsa method the one that suits the irish to prevail.

ah , Pocchettino was born in Murphy, Argentina

Boniek is the president of the polish football federation, great player. 

Some irish said that Poland have better players than Ireland, i dont think so, i know they have 2 or 3 at Dormund and one good playmaker that i really rate Obraniak lefty number 10 plays in Bordeaux, they have depth in GK but that is up to it.  They are a mediocre side, tbh. 

They made an offer to Bielsa 2 weeks ago,
