a poor campaign by mick effectively 1 win.
He was hampered by the quality of player available to him. Stubborn in his selection how he didn’t include Shane long in one squad was a case in point

Until they prove otherwise, potential is just that. We have a tendency to blow players out of proportion early on in hope rather than expectation. My default position is one of reality, not baseless expectation. If Ireland player was as good as you made them out to be we would be world champions.

Was that not down to Robbie? Or is that nonsense?

Just on the financial point it was mentioned at the end of the rte report this evening that if we qualify for euro 2021, mick could be entitled to a bonus alongside his €1.1m for leaving now

You would have to hope nonsense and if it was true neither Mick or Robbie should have been in their jobs

I’m not sure Robbie should have ever been given a position. Sentiment shouldn’t be a factor and he never struck me as the type suited to coaching. Then again, neither did Duff and he seems highly regarded.

I'm not getting this. Would you prefer if he started kicking up a stink about this? Because if he had plenty would be getting stuck into him about how selfish he was being. He leaves with dignity and without a fuss and people are calling him a money grabber for his contract being paid. Utterly bizarre stuff.

Pleased with this - properly timed and well communicated by the FAI - imagine the garbled nonsense we’d have to put up with the JD regime if they still ran the show.
A bit of sadness as the campaign didn’t work out for Mick, various reasons, him being past his before date being the main one. Always a very decent man so some of the bitter stuff towards him in this thread is disappointing to read. Hopefully the nations league games will be played in the autumn and before the playoffs so SK can get some games in before Slovakia.

They’ll either push the World Cup out by one year and play it in odd years going forward, in order to keep the two year gap between the two tournaments. Or they’ll have another Euros in 2024 as planned with just a three year gap between European Championships. No way can they just continue on as normal after next year and have nothing for three years and then a Euros and World Cup one after another.

No they won't. Even with the Euros in 2021 there's a still the guts of a year and a half till the next World Cup.

Second time Mick has been prematurely forced out of the job by a virus that broke out in Asia.

A campaign which was about par really. Switzerland and Denmark are both far better teams than us (both made the knockouts of the last WC) and we really should have beat Denmark in Dublin. We were really good in that game

I don't begrudge one cent of what Mick earned as our national team manager. He's been an great servant both as a player and manager for us. He certainly doesn't deserve to be portrayed as some sort of mercenary.

Not the next World Cup. I meant they won’t have a Euros in 2025 and a World Cup in 2026. They’ll push the World Cup out or bring the Euros back a year.

Spot on. There are far more deserving candidates for us to bitter about when it comes to the national team and Mick shouldn't be one of them. Edited by irishmufc - 04 Apr 2020 at 8:30pm |
