That would suit us (and Stephen) down to the ground.

Think all the buzz of these euros have died anyway, I seem to have no appetite for the play offs, looking forward to Bulgaria now.

Always liked MM and always will. Glad he got a second crack st the whip. But this is the right decision. Contracts could have been re-negotiated with agreement across the board for him to remain on Until the play offs, at least.
The tenure was underwhelming, and I can’t actually pick out too many high points. The equalisers against the Danes and Swiss were nice, but still part of our long-standing efforts for draws. We did the minimum against Gibraltar, and almost got minimum return (with anything less probably being a sackable offence). Georgia at home was enjoyable, away was abysmal. We had two chances to qualify and failed to take either one. We’re in the play offs thanks to the system as opposed to achievement on the pitch, so I don’t think many entitlements could accrue from that, not is it qualification for the play offs inn the normal way

Right call from the FAI.
For those saying Kenny shouldn't be thrown in at the deep end, I personally dont think it really matters if we qualify for Euro 20/21 at this stage. Great if we do, if not then Kenny has started building his team for the World Cup which takes place just a year later. The format, along with Covid-19 has ensured that whenever the next Euros are held, or wherever for that matter, it's going to be overshadowed by a World Cup happening just a year later.

That would be ideal, nations league would be perfect for him to get his own ideas across and it's a group that we could do well in

I think we have as much chance qualifying with Kenny as we did Mick.
Ireland really need a fresh start and a new approach. Out with the old and in with the new, whether Kenny is successful or not (dear God let him be successful) we really needed this to happen.

great news, we might qualify now!
Mick is sadly finished at the top level, same as MON was. No shame in it. He was a good servant, but this last 12-18 months has been a bag of sh*t.

This isn’t to knock Mick at all, but what memories is there from the second stint? Did I miss a few games?

I really like Mick but he was an 'avoid relegation from the championship, good league 1' level manager when he was appointed ireland manager for the second time.
He was much needed post o'Neil but overpaid for his ability. If you measure this decision to bring in Kenny now as part of a risk analysis you would see that we probably still have the same odds on qualifying. |

Have to agree with this. I had written us off getting through last months playoffs given our form and game plan. Fair play to Mick for not kicking up - hopefully he enjoys his €1.1m payoff. Decisive and correct decision by the new FAI. Good signs. Good news for FAI staff - keeping Mick on on a million quid a year would have given the wrong message when their jobs were on the line up to 2 months ago - to the taxpayer also. I see a long rebuilding phase ahead and great to get that going with immediate effect.

Does Mick not kicking up a fuss not demonstrate he wasn't overly bothered once he got the bag of cash??

It doesn't mean he's not good enough either, which seems to be your default position on every player. It's Kenny's job to make these calls, and unlike most of our recent managers he will have the bravery to make decisions on players based on their skill rather than their age and how many squads they've been picked for previously (ie less relevant factors which for some reason the likes of Trap and O'Neill were obsessed with).

How many jobs will be saved by this decision. All of those who called for mick to stay on should think of that. This means people will have a job in a years or two years time that wouldnt already have.
Correct decision from a financial, legal and footballing point of view. Thanks mick for your first campaign but nothing was added in the second campaign.
