The FAI need to consult with some of the senior players, and if that is the case, then he has to go. That's a good point. Do the players even believe in him any longer? You wouldn't put any money on it. The senior players are the very ones that should be shown the door, absolutely phoning it in, their level of disinterest in playing for their country and their sub par level of performances lately is disgraceful. They're playing their part in Kenny getting sacked and they'll do the same with the next manager if they continue to pick them. Its the younger lads that hes brought through from the u21s and from the fringes that are the ones buying into him and performing for him. The Bazunus, Kellehers, Knights, Molumbys, Collins, O'Sheas, Obafemi's, Parrotts, Ogbenes etc.. are the ones at least trying a leg. The Hourihanes, Hendricks, Bradys just dont give a f**k anymore. They take it for granted they're still involved because of what they done in the past and the manager is blindly keeping the faith with them and rewarding them. He ditched McCarthy, Arter, Randolph, Long, Brady (for a period) its time to do the same with these spoofers because they're the ones that will get him the sack.

Torn on this. I don't see any manager in the world getting us out of the group. I'll not pretend to know what the players think about Kenny but I don't see a lot of improvement. I do think the Scotland game at home was the most positive I've felt. I liked the combo of Molumby and Knight with Cullen and felt that give us an identity. We haven't had that trio since Ukraine from memory so I'm holding fire. We have such a technically poor squad and have done for years. There is a dire need for improvement at under age level.

Should have happened long ago. I don't even blame Kenny cultist types. I'm more inclined to blame the Off the Ball and football journalist groupthink, all of whom have just pushed propaganda for the manager that the fans bought into.
