Source: PaddyPower With all the individual threads on the different managers being mentioned thought I'd start a consolidated thread and discuss what's happening in the Market as of now. Martin O'Neill's price has stayed static however McDermott's price has fallen sharply whilst Mick McCarthy and Roy Keane's price has risen. Rene Muelensteen's name has been quietly mentioned a few times and at 41/1 is a really good shout at this moment.

Hasn't rene muelensteen failed badly as a manager. Ok I know he only lasted 10 days in the last job but some people are coaches and some are managers. I think if rene was to get the job then a director of football akin to what bobby robson did for us would be required. As has been said on other threads we are likely to be second seeds going into the euro 2016 qualifying draw therefore I firmly believe we shouldn't take a risk on someone like rene and go with a safe pair of hands like Mccarthy. We have a great opportunity to qualify next time round...lets not take risky decisions and blow it. ------------- "One of the dominant facts in English life during the past three quarters of a century has been the decay of ability in the ruling class."

absolutely what ColemanY2K said. Qualification for Euro 2016 is ours for the taking - even if the new format is introduced. Therefore a safe candidate all the way. Trialling Rene is too risky an experiment. Tried and trusted only please JD. ------------- "I'm off to see the Queen tomorrow too, don't forget that" |

How can someone fail badly in 16 days? The club changed its direction and strategy and sold all it's best players and got ridof the manager. Wrong place wrong time IMO I do agree though that some people will coach some will manage, but I think someone deserves a little bit more than 16 days to prove themselves |

Criteria is definitely out of work manager. To be honest I think it will be o'neill. He has a devent recird, irish and great man manager. he knows the team. i'd have me reservations about his tactics and hunger but it also is a bit logical seeing as he is abailable. He is also the attractive name for the fair weather fans who have turned their back on Ireland but would be intrigued with o'neill given the role and may come back. |

MON is capable of negotiating his position before he takes on a role so that he has quite a lot of power - would Delaney be able to allow this to happen?
Keane also would want to ensure he gets the best organisation for team affairs - again would Delaney allow this?
Delaney's key criteria for a new manager is that they (1) qualify for Euro2016 and (2) fill the Aviva - both aims driven by money to make up for the mess that was made of the Vantage Club. No talk of developing the team as youth development meanders on into oblivion.
Until Delaney goes the manager could be Micky Mouse for all the difference it will make. ------------- Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest? |

No matter how you cut it the FAI would be taking a massive risk on someone who has only had limited exposure as a manager and as I said before now is not the time to experiment given the leg up we're getting with the next seeding draw.
Reckon McDermott will get it. Himself and Delaney were boozing together in the Berkeley Friday night  ------------- "One of the dominant facts in English life during the past three quarters of a century has been the decay of ability in the ruling class." Orwell, 1942. |

I would rather we made the right decision rather than a quick decision. No reason why a caretaker cant oversee the last 2 games. Don't think MON (A N Other) will put that many on the Kazack gate on a wet Tues and those that do are deluded themselves. Get him in place for the euro draw in Feb would prefer to wait and sound out who would be interested and what they can bring to the table - would still prefer the continental route be it a young hungry manager or and older more experienced international coach.

If its going to be o'neill then might as well get him in ASAP in my opinion, I know the FAI will wanna save money in wages but O'Neill could get potentially two packed houses (potentially) for the Kaz game and November friendly. Can you imagine he gets the job then calls back the likes if Reid and Gibson. Everyone starts feeling this is going to be great and shows the support with their feet. It gives the manager time to work more with the players. Also means we get our man before someone else does. Be worth it in my opinion. Although a daunting trip to Germany is not the ideal way to start, unless you can pull off the unbelievable! |

| JD was on talksport this evening. Basically in summary he said O'Brien would be stumping up money again. He also said they were in no panic to appoint a manager i.e. they wouldn't be panicking and getting one in before next months double header. He was asked about Roy Keane being in the frame and had a good laugh on it but when pressed on it he said he wouldn't be ruling anybody out at this stage. He also said they wouldn't be necessarily looking for a manager who was out of work. |

He said in his interview on SSN that he thought it was important (or words to that effect) to get a manager in before next month's games but it wasn't a must. I think he is right and it was needed that he has been speaking to the media in the last couple of days (dont forget he has done fook all proper interviews since the Dion Fanning interview post euros bar local radio ones) but name checking managers still in their positions is hilarious and plain unprofessional

This a wind up? Dennis O'Brien will fund about 1m altogether you would think with FAI covering the other 1m. That's to cover the whole coaching team. At anzi and Russia he'd be getting about treble that. Hiddink is a money whore in my opinion and would leave for a higher bidder. |

Kazackstan wont be a packed house in million years unless Pep Guardiola ditches Bayern for us and even then it would be a push. We are talking Tues night in Oct in a dead game against not very attractive opponents not that we aourselves are renowned for free flowing football. It will be the hardcore 10-15K plus maybe another 10 depending on the manager As to the friendly, the only realistic game that would fill it would be England and I doubt a return match is on the cards this soon.

Theres no reason to make an appointment until the next year unless the chosen candidate has other offers.........the FAI would save themselves the cost of traps severance pay if they wait until next year by not having to pay a new manager in the interim.

"There's no coincidence that Ancelotti has taken Clement to Real Madrid from PSG" Stephen Hunt Former http://talksport.com/football/sunderland" rel="nofollow - Sunderland manager http://talksport.com/martin-oneill" rel="nofollow - Martin O'Neill and ex-Ireland boss http://talksport.com/mick-mccarthy" rel="nofollow - Mick McCarthy are the early favourites for the job. But Hunt, who is currently without a club, told http://talksport.com/drivetime" rel="nofollow - Drivetime they could look elsewhere and appoint the successful Clement. He said: "In my opinion you could also go along the lines of Paul Clement. He's a young coach who's at Real Madrid, who's worked with a lot of experienced managers such as Mourinho, Rodgers and Ancelotti. "You could give him the job in terms of how he knows how to structure and he knows how to deal with players. "Irish players don't need motivation, they need someone to tell them where to go, how to play, what places to pick the ball up and to learn more and educate them more. "He's done a good job in terms of what he does. There's no coincidence that Ancelotti has taken him to Real Madrid from PSG." Hunt, who played 39 times for Ireland, reserved praise for the departed Trapattoni too. "I loved my time with him. He gave me a lot of my caps that I have. Unfortunately he didn't give me any in the European Championships but that was probably down to injury and a lack of form. "I always respect him for what he did and I know a lot of players do respect him. But that's also a good sign that a manager is well liked, that he hasn't played me recently and I still respect him and how he goes about things." Ireland still have two matches remaining in their campaign including a daunting trip to group leaders and European giants Germany. But Hunt said the FAI should take its time with any appointment and that he is confident with an expanded European Championships in 2016 Ireland will be one of those to qualify. ------------ Real Madrid coach Paul Clement on his rise from PE teacherBy Saj Chowdhury BBC SportIt takes a lot to fluster Paul Clement. In only three years, the relative novice English coach had worked at two of the most famous clubs in Europe and trained the world's greatest players. His CV was impressive, and his stature was growing - life was perfect. But then he received news this year that even he found hard to comprehend. "My knees started to shake at the possibility that I could work at Real Madrid," the 41-year-old told BBC Sport. That golden carrot was dangled in front of him by his mentor Carlo Ancelotti, under whom he was working at Paris St-Germain and alongside whom he had worked at Chelsea. The experienced Italian accepted Real's approach, signed on the dotted line in the summer and asked Clement to join him. 
Clement (centre) on the training field with Zinedine Zidane and Carlo Ancelotti "When I came with Carlo that first day I felt the magnitude of the club," continued Clement. "The support for Madrid in the country and worldwide. They have incredible infrastructure. Then there are the sponsors involved with the club. "It feels bigger than a club, it's an institution." Clement, who worked as a PE teacher in Sutton from 1995 to 2000, is from a football family. His father is the former QPR and England full-back Dave, who took his own life at the age of 34, and his brother is the ex-Chelsea and West Bromwich Albion defender Neil. Paul never played the game professionally, though. While working as a teacher he studied for his coaching badges and helped with Chelsea's Football in the Community programme. After obtaining his Uefa 'A' licence, he managed to secure his first full-time football role, at Fulham, before returning to Chelsea in 2007. He steadily rose up the ranks before being picked out by interim manager Guus Hiddink to become a member of his backroom staff. "[Hiddink] really knew how to capture an audience and was a great motivator and influencer of people," http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18071937" rel="nofollow - says Clement. However, it was was when Ancelotti replaced the Dutchman at Stamford Bridge in June 2009 that his career took off. The Italian, who won the Serie A and two Champions League crowns at AC Milan, made Clement one of his assistants, and in their first season together they secured the Premier League and FA Cup double. Clement has huge admiration for his Italian boss. "He treats the players like men," he explains. "He expects respect in both directions. He also loves to coach on the field - he's very active day to day. "Carlo carries out the practices and does the work. He's very good in the classroom - with a flip chart, on the tactics board and with the video. "He's really good to work for - over time he's given me more and more responsibility."

Paul Clement on his favourite player The duo went their separate ways when Ancelotti was sacked by Chelsea in 2011. Clement teamed up with Steve Kean at Blackburn, while the Italian joined Paris St-Germain. However, in January 2012 they were reunited when Ancelotti asked his trusted assistant to join him at the big-spending Ligue 1 side. More success came their way with the French championship and a good run in the Champions League. Then Los Blancos came calling. Real finished a distant second to Barcelona last season and bowed out at the semi-final stage of the Champions League for the third year running. It's been 11 years since they were last kings of Europe. The Londoner is adamant that Real have found their saviour. "The list of top players at Real Madrid is endless," adds Clement. "These stars are under an incredible amount of pressure - especially at this club - and what Carlo does well is understand the pressure they are under. "His calm temperament is a help to that, especially during the week in training - the way he manages them individually." Clement's career has been very closely aligned to that of Ancelotti so far, but would he ever consider going it alone? http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/republic-of-ireland/news/hunt-clement-would-be-good-ireland-boss_104339.html" rel="nofollow - - Winger Stephen Hunt said this week - that the Englishman should be considered as the next Republic of Ireland manager, following http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24043331" rel="nofollow - the departure of Giovanni Trapattoni. Clement has said that he hopes there was "a chairman out there who will look at me and think 'he's had a good apprenticeship'". Until then he is content to continue learning his trade from one of football's all-time great managers at one of its finest schools. ------------- Romario 2016: And the ticket mafia gets caught!

Héctor Cúper is a good manager, by he plays dull football, he comes from the Ferro Carril Oeste notion of football, they were champions in the 80`s him as a player. They were a small time like Ipswich that won the national league of Argentina twice at least. He reached 2 CL finals that is a pedigree and he has experienced from the european football as well,. He was in the short list for the Argentina post when Batista was sacked, but it went Sabella instead. He is very similar to M'ON, he was the manager of Inter of MIlan i think. If you get Cúper you will get a very humble, hard working manager, low voice talker, 0 charismatic than Trapattoni, that will keep the team organized, but i dont think that he has the spark to go after a cutting edge attack. He wouldnt have any public fuss with players a la Giovanni, because he keeps everything in the dressing room a la old school of managers like Alex Ferguson, Bielsa, Hiddink, Wenger and some other.

JD said in several interviews since the departure of Trap that the board would be meeting next week. It will be interesting to see if they are meeting just to ratify the appointment of MON or whether they will be meeting to discuss the selection process of the new manager (similar to the process which ended up with us appointing Trap), personally I hope it's the latter as I don't see MON being the answer. I would like to see us go to the continent again preferably someone schooled in the Dutch or German philosophy of playing football. No need to rush the appointment IMO. |

| Looks like it will be MON. Didn't think a new manager would be involved before Germany game. But it's good to give him a bit if experience before the Euro qualifying campaign. |

Hiring someone now is pointless. We have 12 months to the next must-win game. There is no rush. My name put forward would be Gustavo Poyet. He is available, but whether he would be interested and/or affordable is another question. Hopefully, we're still in the "it's Paul Jewell" phase. Certainly the other names suggested so far, sound as hopeful and promising to me as Don Givens U21 reign. ------------- VAR: Cutting the crap out of football. |

Care to elaborate? Our second seed position is relatively ok barring one of 3 teams winning their last 2 games in WC qualification or do I have that wrong? |

And that's still providing we win against Kazakhstan. So we still have to win, and hope that those other 3 teams don't pick up their wins.

We're in trouble if we don't win it. Rolo could confirm but I think we will be feckin 3rd seeds if we don't win. Winning pretty much guarantees second seed unless some spectacular results go against us. So bottom line is win or we're fighting an uphill battle for Euro 2016. What a sh*t way to hand over the reins to the new manager...he'd be on a hiding to nothing from the start. ------------- "One of the dominant facts in English life during the past three quarters of a century has been the decay of ability in the ruling class."
