Next manager

And if he was actually going to give it to him then they would just do it now.

I don't think we should be taking anything Canham said at that press conference as anything other than nonsense.

They should announce the new RoI manager using the Take Me Out format with John O'Shea as the host. The thirty lads linked with the job [Carsley, Sagnol, Poyet, Lennon, Barry etc] standing on the stage while Marc Canham flounces around turning their lights off one by one.  

Now let the Starsky see the Hutch! Let the onion see the bhaji! Let the wood see the pecker! Let the rubber see the duck! Let the spoof see the merchant!

They have somebody they could give the job to now. They chose not to and continue their search.

The other part still works as a stand alone point. If they were going to give it to him then would do it now rather than wasting another window.

Im not ignoring anything and if we're being pedantic about it, Canham didn't say anything about it at the press conference, the question was put to OShea and he said "look, they'll take care of itself". Anyway, we're all well aware that the whole process has been shambolic and I d9nt see how anyone could rule out O'Shea getting it at this stage.

If O’Shea does well in the two friendlies he gets the job. Simple as. Amazing people believe anything to the contrary at this stage.

I would argue it’s because they have no supporting reasons to give it to him now. The friendly match’s give them time on that.  There were plenty on here saying the same before the friendlies last month - They didn't give him the job after that. He's not getting it this time.

He's not getting it this time.  It didn’t go in a way that set the necessary narrative. A draw with a second string Belgian team and a defeat, with no goals scored. You can’t sell that. I don’t dispute that it probably won’t be JOS, but I won’t rule it out until the contract on the new man is signed, sealed and delivered.

Can you really sell a positive result in June's games too?

Like we play Portugal a week before their first game in the Euros. Portugal will likely give less of a f**k than Belgium did in March. Likely the same with Hungary as the important thing for these teams is nobody gets injured pre tournament.
