I would reckon Roy is the natural successor providing the O Neill reign ends seen as a success.
Kinda Catch 22 mind you as we only get rid of managers due to failure. I dont remember a manager retiring for us. Anyway, Roy has previous experience, and so far has successfully served as No 2. Who knows he may even play what is seen as more attractive football. He probably would always be able to call on MON for advice. ( I think his bridge is well and truly burned with Ferguson) Finally I reckon it will always be hanging in the air until He actually does take over. So it may as well be following on from O Neill.

In all seriousness he would be my second choice after Keane.. Unlikely he would take the job but the FAI would be foolish not to approach him |

What about Steve McClaren?
I'm sure given time and preparation he could perfect a spectacular Irish accent for the press conferences.

Its ridiculous? How so? Its as if no assistant manager has ever been promoted to manager before. I think your point is more ridiculous than mine. Keane has been part of a management team thats done very well and has been a manager before. Ok he didnt set the hay on fire but he wasnt disastrous either. I dont see why we wouldnt appoint him tbh. |

Size and solidity are both factors but mainly that mild sense of pride you get when you look in the bowl.

How do you judge the performance of a number 2? |

What, as a number 2?! Keane deserves to take over based on his performance as a number 2 as opposed to a candidate who is a current manager? That's ridiculous tbh. |

If Martin O'Neill did leave after this campaign, I think Roy Keane would be the easiest transition into the role as manager because he knows the set up, he knows the current players available to him very well since he has worked with them for over four years, importantly he understands the passion and pride playing for Ireland which is a big thing about us . Plus he would have a good idea of whats available to him in merging young players because he would have gone to watch most them play already from his scouting matches for Ireland anyway. He could be good for getting a few players with dual nationality on board with his stature in the game from his playing career? I really think he would need a good number two with him tho. I'd have Robbie Keane part of the coaching staff for now, not his number two as he's doesn't have the experience yet.

Lars Lagerback?
He's already been successful (relatively) in international football with Sweden and Iceland and I doubt he was on the sort of euros MON and Keane are. He's just after joining Norway but they are pretty much out of the running for qualification already |

That it should and will happen. He has served his time under O,Neil and matured- he has done a good job and deserves to take over if he keeps going. As I say though long way to go. |

Agreed. I think most have voted in the poll for who they want to get it and not who they think will get it. If we qualify for Russia and then MON leaves after the finals, the only way Hughton will be available is if Brighton have been relegated/started disastrously and have sacked him, and as someone said earlier then his stock will have fallen.The keane double act could certainly be interesting. I like others said would really like to see us play good football as the last time an Ireland team did was probably in 2002 under Mick? We played some good stuff under Brian Kerr with Andy Reid pulling the strings in midfield, but not enough as Kerr was much too negative in his one campaign. Good football is probably the one thing that would be guaranteed under Stephen Kenny, but his lack of top level experience and the risky nature of his appointment is probably too much. Still surprised he's got no votes. If the poll had taken place just after Dundalk went out of Europe, or before the start of the domestic season I think that would be different.

Hughton did a a great job with Newcastle and Brighton ,If he keeps Brighton up next season he might be off to a bigger club, could be an ideal man for the job.
