I said this a couple of weeks back and I'd still wager than Canham is spoofing and they have nobody lined up and he said he ''couldn;t speak due to contractual arrangements'' was a line used to buy himself 6 weeks and also wouldn't have to face criticism of the process.

If they do have someone lined up thn it is some 3rd world manager that will leave us wanting to give up

I have a feeling this is right. And it’ll result in O’Shea being given the job.

FAI are a joke if its poyet. Just let O'Shea take the reins for 2 years and see where we are then.

I've nothing against the guy but his CV is positively threadbare for international management. A fella from the League of Ireland would nearly be as qualified as him.

Fair play to the lads who were adamant all along that it's not Carsley. No contact since November is bizarre.

Really looks like Canham has not got a fooking notion what he's at.

Here we go again

Lads still pushing Poyet ffs. Why would Greece let him stay on for the playoffs but then let him go if they win

Eamonn Dunphy:"I'll tell you who wrote it, Rod Liddle, he's the guy who ran away and left his wife for a young one".

Bill O'Herlihy: Ah ye can't be saying that now Eamonn

Sagnol is favourite now.

Yep..me and you, brothers in arms on this

Do yous honestly think that Canham would hold a press conference with O'Shea, say that the recruitment process is near its end point, existing contractual arrangements are preventing them from making an announcement until early April, practically rule out O'Shea from a permanent role, while all along not having anyone lined up and just saying all this to buy himself 6 weeks of no criticism?

I find that very difficult to believe and that they wouldn't be aware of the damage limitations surrounding making statements like that with no substance behind it.

It's Bruce.

I've never heard of a manager who couldn't be announced due to a pre-existing contract. Smells like bullsh*t to me. Why cannot it be announced? Confused

But I have heard of plenty of managers who have been named the manager of a team who have to see out the season with another team.

Of course the recruitment process is near its end. However how you interpret 'near the end' is open to anyone's guess. Could be 2 months away or 2 weeks away. How long is a piece of string?

The only people in the running it appears now are Amfanny Barry, Gustavo Poyet and Free Willy.

Pied Piper to: Baldrick, Brendan 88, 9Fingers, Borussia and more...

To me it looks like Carsley had as close to a verbal agreement as you could get and was in the eyes of the FAI going to take it. Never anything signed and you'd imagine the carry on over the last few weeks was enough for anyone with the smallest bit of a reputation to run a mile.

Your standard FAI shambles. It will end up being Willy Sagnol. YBIG by pure fluke have stumbled on the next Ireland manager.

Canham and Hill should be marched out the door as soon as an appointment is made.

He's said he had one meeting and nothing came of it. So either he's lying there and what you say is true, or we've all well and truly had the wool pulled over our eyes.
