Jesus no please not Brendan Brent Rodgers. Would take Michael O'Neill in a heartbeat over Rodgers anyway.

Couldn't stand listening to him and we'd concede left right and centre. We need a more cautious pragmatic manager to replace O'Neill.

I've great time for McCarthy but would prefer a manager who makes us difficult to beat especially away from home and O'Neill has done that. We're also managing games better under O'Neill in that we may be flat in the early parts of matches but we generally seem to finish strong and look more likely to score. I don'rt ever remember an Ireland team doing that. We were always the more likely to concede a late goal after a good battling performance.

no way neil lennon. Too big a job for him.

even tho i am a celtic man no thanks

Royston of Keane please but get to Russia and have a good tournament Martin might just give us the Euros in 2020

I'd take Lenny or Rodgers over Keane anyway.

I never want to see Keane as manager. Just not good enough, and walked out on his country when we need him the most.

It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

meh.

He got in a huff because the pitch wasn't good enough, instead of trying to get the situation resolve, he stormed off.

He has had issues with loads of players, his treatment of Walters was a disgrace.

He's a lose cannon and I just wouldn't trust him.

That, and he's just a sh*t manager.

Irwin do you think Roy Keane's commitment/attitude to the national team was poor at times?

I don't think Roy Keane and his attitude to the national team has been discussed enough on here.

Honest question but where's the evidence he's a sh*t manager?
Sunderland's most successful in recent times, struggled at Ipswich alright but look at Mick Mac, does that also make him a sh*t manager?

There's a good interview recent from Galway's Ronan Murray about what he's like as Manager, he's really, like really strict with Irish players but it's more of a wants them to do well rather than act like a twat but actually more lenient with other players of different nationalities.

Massive difference between Roy's time at Ipswich and Mick's, Mick has one of the smallest budgets in the division and has them above where their budget would place them. Keane had a far bigger budget there and was able to bring in the players he wanted and keep his best ones, they were expecting a promotion challenge and he was no nearer than Mick was.

Maybe Roy's a different man than he was then? Headstrong passion to logical progression (II)?

I think a JD led FAI would keep Royston at arms length. Nothing to do with his managerial abilities or lack of, just to stay on the safe side of things. They wouldn't chance it in case of a public row with him, which they wouldn't win, and probably wouldn't have the balls to sack him either if things were going wrong, so to avoid either of those situations, they will appoint more or less anyone else. Maybe not Brian Kerr though.
