| Gamble by the FAI to save on money until the new year I reckon. However they wil have terrible gate receipts for the kazak game on this decision and will hurt them. Also a new appointment would have been ideal to settle in with two competitive games to play. I cant believe the FAI hadnt already thought of a replacement before they sacked him. |

| What I find baffling about King being appointed as the interim manager is the fact the 21's are playing Romania away on the same day as the Germany match in a crucial qualifier.

Noel will be respected by most of the players, it's a no win situation for the FAI, given the U21s have a big game the same night, but there really was no other person IMO on the FAI payroll to take the role. His squad will be interesting, i reckon we will see Stokes and Andy Reid back but no Darren Gibson. From my limited knowledge he is a great motivator, and would love to se him bring Jack Grealish into the squad for the Kazak game for experience if nothing else. ------------- I know nothing :-) |

As if they will be our main concern when the seniors are in Cologne .  The game there will be an endurance test. It's the worst possible fixture for a new coach to begin, and surprise surprise, there's not many takers. So at least Kinger won't be under any pressure to get a result.

Ya dont have to rush in but its been two weeks since he was sacked... and the match is in two weeks. So 1 month is adequate time to find a replacement who fits the bill All this suffers to do is kick the can down the road, so at the start of the next campaign the manager already has his escuses of not having enough time to get to know th eplayers etc... Whereas if we appointed the now, that escuse wouldnt be tolerated... Its penny pinching by the FAI and not for the benefit of the national side

I would assume the FAI must have known that if a few results went against us that Trap would have to go. As any responible business manager would tell you, you always have to have a plan B if things are not working the way you planned over a period of time. As a result i would say the 1 month period to announce the new manager should be more than enough. Surely they must have a short list somewhere.......OK if they are available is another question, however i dont think it is that hard to identify potential managers and go about your business. If they have found a manager who refuses to start until after the German game etc. then i would say......lets go for the next on the list. Doesnt fill me with confidence if he isnt willing to start with a dfficult one, maybe a new manager would give the team a lift or kick up the backside and result in a decent display. I think everyone knows what the current state of Irish football is and i think if everyone is honest, doesnt matter how hard it is, we all know that we will get nothing in Colonge except a hangover. With all that off my cheast........Lets all get behind King and the team and show the new manager what he is missing or what he can expect from the 12th man. |

Question is what is rushed???? Shouldnt the FAI have been looking weeks/months ago. Did they sack him based on one result, dont think so. I would say they should have started looking after the German game at home. That way knowing if 1 or 2 results went against us after that they would have a solution. Imagine a new manager came in, we get something from the Germans.....other results go our way......what then??? Noel King on a contract???? Think it would have been a great way for a new manager to have a week with the players, invite a few new faces to training and access what he has to build on. |

Except it isn't a summer camp, it's the end of a tough campaign, with players retiring immediately afterwards. That's not invaluable experience, that's a waste of time. With no man ready and waiting to take over, Trap should have been allowed to see out the remaining games so we could give him a great send off at the Kazach game. Delaney called for "reflection" after Austria, then sacked the only man to take us to a tournament in 12 years, inside 12 hours. Now we go to Germany facing humiliation again, but that's what happens when you make snap, short term decisions. Either handle this process properly or don't do it at all. ------------- VAR: Cutting the crap out of football. |

Your idea of a great send off might differ from everyone else's  .I think some would have trap on a giant catapult in( the Aviva like Homer Simpson when he made a bollix of being sanitation commissioner) and catapulted back to Italy.Being honest I thought it was largely pointless sacking him then if they weren't going to bring the new manager in for those two games.It would've been nice to give him a send off at home but unfortunately I think people in general were sick of the football and the FAI felt it was the right time to do it.Another factor might've been MON current situation.In two months time when the campaign is over there's a chance he might not have been available to sound out if he got a job in the championship for instance.It may have beena factor though not very likely ------------- Wings?

They may have felt it was the right time, but subsequent events have shown it to be another rash decision that backfired. There's no guarantee the "obvious" candidate would take the job, or even stick to it when the next club job became available. Whether people were sick of the football or not, the man took us very far in his time in charge, and the least he deserved was a fitting send off after the inevitable canter against the Kazachs. After all, we'll still be in the same situation then as now. Instead we go to Germany as a rudderless, disorganised rabble, and if the Germans are in the mood, the scoreline could make last year's look respectable.
If they were competitive from our point of view, you would have a point. ------------- VAR: Cutting the crap out of football. |

Trap's send off would of been similar to Maggie Thatchers FFS! I think its a good idea giving Noel King the 2 games. Hopefully he calls on the exiled players as I believe that would help in making the job more appealing to the next boss. No one knows whats gone on behind the scenes with MON so far.

Would rather an interim in place like king over keeping trap in for the last two games. At least we have a hope that he includes exiled players under trap and play a more positive approach. Do feel if we want o'neill then would have been good for him to get a dry run for these two games. Who cares if we get thumped by Germany it's not so important. It maybe it's MON who is holding back... Either way, saves the FAI a few quid. What will be a disaster is if we don't perform for king and don't beat Kaz |

I agree its a pity the U/21 have a important game the same time as the World cup games. Harry McCue is looking after them. I was wondering how will King go about picking the squad. He is hardly lightly to make changes and I cant see him bring in any new uncapped players. I think he will go with the usual suspects.

Call back the exiles is only a welcome addition to the appointment of King. It has nothing to do why why he was appointed. The bottom line is saving money for a few months and lack of efficiency in the FAI they will have a month to employ someone before the next game and in that time, they arrange 1 board meeting and appoint an interim manager. If O' Neill is the man we can say goodbye to him at this stage... Managers dont wait around to be called if they were declared favourites publically. He will have read all the papers and followed all the hype, and seen the comments about robertson and seen there isnt a clammer for him and will become disinterested. I wouldnt mind the FAI "process" in selecting the manager was a joke last time. By all accounts after months, Traps name came up by fluke, Brady was asked to ring him, and then it started.... So much for drawing up a list of candidates and whittling it down. All managers are proud men and dont want to be part of intervewing process's. Their record is public knowledge.... their attitude is take it or leave it.

You would prob be the first one to say if they appointed MON and it went tits up after first campaign that the FAI rushed into the appointment and didnt cast the net far enough or wait for the fickle world of football management to throw up another suitable candidate. On the money saveing point,considering the outlay on the last management team and the public acknowledgement that Denis O Brien is putting his financial backing to the manager do you really think they said "here's a great way of saveing a few bob".Nothing unusual or wrong with putting the current u21 manager in as caretaker for next 2 games. They are hardly the 2 most attractive fixtures to start with.I would have liked a new man in for them but no panic.Let King see out campaign and id agree the getting gibson/reid/Foley etc back in would get rid of the circus for a new manager so he would not have that to deal with.IMO no chance Ireland will be named.His last ramblings said he wanted to be playing regular at club level which is fair enough but them said "he would want the new man to go to him for a chat". Chat goes like this-"Hi Stephen its the Ireland manager,I am inviteing you to be part of my squad,its a yes or no answer what do you say? ------------- WWW.IRELANDSOCCERSHIRTS.COM |

It would be good to see some of the lads come back from exile, never been a major fan of Gibson, don't ask me why but I'll admit he offers something different, same as Ireland.
Think is what if King manages the team to a 5-0 win over the Germans and 8-0 over the Kazaks and we qualify for the playoffs?

"I'd have no reason to block anybody out of the squad," he said. "As far as I'm concerned, I'm starting from a clean slate. It's my view of what should constitute the 30-odd players that we'll put on standby and then the 23 that we'll call up and from there what the starting 11 should be. "Through injury and unavailability, we may well lose some players but nobody will be excluded by me, and why would I exclude anybody?" Quotes from King taken from a piece in the independent. |
