Gawd. Schooled twice by Poyet's Greeks. He says he likes our tracksuit top. Flirts a bit with us. We offer him the job after months of fluting around. He tells us to do one. Could you write a more FAI scenario?
Likely to be Poyet angling for a new deal from the Greeks rather than us genuinely offering a bang average manager a 5 year deal.
Good, Poyet would have been an awful appointment.

Wasn't permitted to bring his own staff? Every manager will want to do that surely?
Just give it to Sheasy and let the madness stop.
Maybe they'll let O'Shea do it with Poyet's staff.
Poyet is back in the mix again. What a terrible appointment he would be.

He's only 37, he's got a good job in club football.
It would be absolutely stupid to leave that for the Ireland gig at this point in his career.
Absolute poisoned chalice this job. Nobody feckin wants it.

Swear to Christ if they appoint O'Shea after all this arseing around Canham and Hill should be run out of town

Would take him in a heartbeat over a good few of those previously linked.
Ole & Keane.
He'd be showing them that Leverkusen chance before game.

interesting rumor
Bruce gone into 7/2 2nd fav for some bizarre reason 
bookies scheming and creating traffic to bets..... nothing bizarre about itBruce gone into 7/2 2nd fav for some bizarre reason
Odds on favourite now, I would absolutely love to see him get the job
Times reporting new manager announced next Wednesday or Thursday. They say Ole is in line but are referencing the bookmakers odds.
Ole at the the Irish wheel! big money place on him with the bookies the last few days. No easy task that gig for any manager so will be interesting to see how he gets on all the same.
Just checked there, we are 500/1 to win the 2026 World Cup. Get on it now, that price won’t last 
Andy Mitten has just tweeted that it isn’t happening.
A fool and his money are easily parted
There isn’t a man in football that the FAI haven’t approached at this stage
It's going to be Tony Pulis with Delap as his assistant. (That's just a pure guess.)
Ole would have been a brilliant option. I feel international management would suit him.
Ya he was my preferred choice from day 1. Shame it seems like a rumour. I can see it being Roy now
Are you thinking David Healy?
Bruce it is then.
Linfield manager taking over the ROI job. That would be some headline.
I'm thinking Larry White. Would he take that much of a drop in pay. Would assume he was on a 7 figure salary at Lyon and in Qatar
No that’s not what I meant at all. @golden_blunder mentioned Colin Healy was ex-Utd but I think he might have confused him with David Healy

Maybe I’m wrong, I thought Colin Healy was a United youngster before he went to Celtic but wiki seems to say no
Really would loved Ole to have gotten the job but seems there's nothing in that sadly. It actually would have gotten me watching Ireland again. And I think he'd do pretty well to be honest. If not with Ireland then international football would be a good avenue for him.
