Did'nt see that one coming.
Poor appointment in my opinion, but i'm not sure how many other better options there were?

Sky Sports have reported already that a load of people where going to get it, such as O'Leary Brady Venables Houllier and Trapattoni.

Billy Davies hasn't even spoken to the FAI yet.

He won't get it.

Surely not?

Please god no. We are bad enough as it is.

It can't be Billy Davies. it couldn't take them six months to trawl the world for the right man and come back with this recommendation.
Could it?
Please God no, Staunton was bad enough. It's probably just a bluff to get Trappatoni to make his mind up.

Billy Davies can go and feck himself!!!

There's no way that wee shite is going to manage the Republic - the people wouldnt let it happen after the last debacle and the debacle before that!

No shit manager - thats the promise and it better happen!

Not even the FAI could be this stupid. Could they?
Did you ever read a sentence back and go what was I thinking???:lol: This is the FAI, I'll just be surprised if they don't re-hire Stan(with Jack Charlton as his mentor of course) and proclaim it to be a "world class managerial appointment":D

i think he's being interviewed for the job tomorrow

for what its worth, I'd prefer him to that wanker venables. did great work getting derby out of the championship last year and didnt stand a chance this season with feck all to spend on players

Billy Davies woule be perfect. He was outstanding at Preston on a shoe string budget. He is the type of coach that gets the best out of utter shite so we should have a chance with him. Great appointment and defo better than Venables and Trap who's best days are behind them.

Bit harsh on Davies in my opinion, he has an impressive cv with Motherwell, Preston and Derby, he was saying himself last season that this season was too soon for Derby to be in the Premier League. We could do worse.
