Nohairdontcare Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 100 per cent rubbish about Shez for Ireland - Sheridan is smarter than to be Ireland gaffer at this stage of his careeer after what happened to the even more inexperienced Stephen Staunton made a hames of things. O'Tel is set to check in for the Ireland job on Tuesday - my mate is a sport hack and stands to take the bookies for about £1,000 when he does. By the way - I wonder what odds on O'Tel opening a bar called O'Scribes in Dublin this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optional Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 (edited) Might be a stupid question but Whats a Sport Hack(oops a sports journo) a skint one at that Houllier for Ireland By Daniel McDonnell Wednesday January 09 2008 Gerard Houllier is the man most likely to replace Steve Staunton as Ireland manager. The Irish Independent understands that Houllier is now clear favourite to be nominated for the job by kingmakers Don Givens, Don Howe and Ray Houghton. Insiders say that the former Liverpool and France chief is in prime position to benefit from uncertainty surrounding Terry Venables and concerns about either the credentials or recent managerial experience of other prominent candidates. While Houllier has been publicly coy about his interest, given that he is currently employed by the French Football Federation (FFF) as a technical director, the indications are that he would be interested by the challenge if offered it. Last month, the 60-year-old turned down the opportunity to manage the Korean national side and his commitment to the FFF was cited as a key reason. However, family reasons were also a significant factor in the decision as the Koreans wanted their new man based there for the majority of the year. Mick McCarthy would now appear to be Houllier's biggest rival as the FAI's top brass grow increasing frustrated with Terry Venables. The Wolves manager is gathering support among the association's senior figures, who fear Venables is about to accept a £1m per annum tax-free offer to take charge of Bulgaria, who ironically will be among Ireland's rivals in the forthcoming Group Eight World cup qualifying campaigns FAI officials are growing tired with Venables's brinkmanship and, after canvassing widely in their search for a new manager, believe McCarthy would be welcomed back by the players. Houllier, however, has emerged as the favourite. Edited January 20, 2008 by optional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nohairdontcare Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I was actually having pints with Daniel McDonnell last week... He's a pal of mine. But I'm still certain it's going to be O'Tel for Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyP Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Sheridan_%28footballer%29 What do you think?? Done this thread yesterday. Although I do like the bit at the bottom of wikipedia that says The above paragraph regarding Republic of Ireland was not announced on 18th January. Sheridan remained a rank outsider with bookmakers quoting odds of 100/1 or longer *** Though it may be that he becomes Assistant Manager, with Ronnie Moore as Manager in a Dream Ticket succession plan. Very funny I thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
