Can see it been Neil Lennon
It's going to be a big rebuilding job and tough job for the FAI finding someone

This has been so bad and depressing I'd be ALMOST happy to see Lennon get the job. I can't take another Kenny interview.

If we are lucky Carsley, but more likely it will be either Lennon or Bruce and a return to direct football bypassing the midfield which is probably what is required tbh, you cant get blood from a stone - Kenny tried and there's no point without competent passers of the ball in midfield, I think his tenure has proven that and believe me, I'm somebody who would like to see us play a bit of ball. Unless the likes of Hodge, Akachukwu, Moran, Smallbone, Azaz all progress rapidly, the next manager may organise the defence and just play on the counter off Ferguson using the pace of Ogbene and Ebosele on the break.

I think that's an astute point: The player-pool of Ireland has changed in the past 5 years, and we now have genuine searing pace in the team. (Was there an Opta stat the other day that Ogbenne has been the fastest player in the PL this year?) Anyway that gives us the option of a counter-attacking style, as well as everything else. Like McClean's goal in Vienna. Also at a time, oddly enough, when we had real pace (Long being fastest and McClean being 5th fastest players in the PL around that time), though we didn't set up to exploit that. |

From the other thread
Renard would be my own pick but if its going to be someone closer to home from the realistic list I put together then Id opt for Carlsey, Eustace or Coleman in that order.

Honestly it's not the worst idea. We have two of the fastest players across the five top European leagues. We actually do have decent defenders if they were playing in a setup that gave them any protection at all. We have a seriously promising striker. And a goalkeeper who seems to save his best games for when he's playing for us. We also have hard working but very technically limited midfielders. Surely it doesn't take a genius to come up with a sensible setup from that. Stay compact, protect the defence with at least two sitting midfielders that you're not expecting any creativity from. Be patient and wait to win the ball back and then attack with pace on the counter. Stop trying to play slowly through the midfield when we obviously haven't the players who can do that. We have the striker to finish a good percentage of the chances we might then create. It's not f**king rocket science.

Might not be a very popular opinion but believe the time is right for Robbie Keane provided he brings a decent coach with him.
Can't see us getting Carsley and the rest on the list are pretty uninspiring apart from Renard.

Greece can go ahead and sack Poyet now because we've knocked them out of the group tonight.

Robbie's managed about 10 games in his to date. Not sure why you'd think the time is right on that basis

True. Very little experience overall but if he keeps going the way he started by the time it takes us to appoint someone he would be a good shout. Think he is pragmatic with a personality big enough for the job. Would be a risky appointment but in imo better than most on the list.

Is it be possible to be worse than Kenny and Stan? Yes, Robbie Keane.

On what basis? Has more experience than Stan and certainly more exposure and international experience than Kenny will ever have. Spent a campaign learning on the job as an assistant. People were saying John o shea should step in on an interim basis a couple of months ago - Robbie would be far superior to O'Shea |

Right now we dont need O'Shea or Robbie. Robbie is doing a good job so far in Israel so he may be an option down the road. Not right now.

Renard would be a coup of a signing given his international experience. Think he'll have a few teams after his signature when the Olympics is over. |

It depends on the financial situation the FAI is in. Can it afford to pay for Carsley? If we can then he is the outstanding candidate and if interested it has to be him. Failing that we are into the unattached market or LOI market. Steve Bruce was mentioned and he wouldn't be the worst appointment. Neil Lennon I would stay clear of. Same with Roy Keane. John Eustace, Mark Kennedy not ready yet for me. Poyet huering himself turned me right off. You could go left field for a Petkovic or the like but that would be a gamble.
For me Lee Carsley would be first choice as a fairly exciting appointment. An excellent coach and very good tactically. If we can't afford him or he isn't interested then we could do a lot worse than Steve Bruce who would in my opinion be a safe pair of hands.

2012 and the last 16 of World Cup 2014.
