So Brian Kerr is gone. I can’t say i’m sorry to see him go. He’s a decent man but wasn’t up to scratch as manager. There was no excuse for Ireland’s dreadful performance throughout the qualification campaign. I wonder who’ll take over. I hope it’s not Bobby Robson. Alex Ferguson, David O’Leary, Martin O’Neill and Kenny Dalglish have also been linked with the job though Ferguson has ruled himself out.
Kerr gets the boot

I dunno – if we don’t get O’Neill then it won’t have been worth it. The bunch being touted are a bunch of spoofers (a near octogenarian, Joe “I did ok making Wimbledon play head tennis” Kinnear, Troussier AGAIN ffs).
God knows Kerr did not impress me, but that job takes a while to get right and our pool of players is very weak.
O’Neill would be my favourite, followed by O’Leary perhaps. I hadn’t thought of Kinnear, hope he doesn’t get it.
You’re right the pool is weak, but it was neer so strong. We need a manager who can make something of what we have. It’s a tough job!
Yeah, but why should O’Neill take all the grief, and bear the deludedly high expectations of an entire nation, when he can just sit it out for a while longer and get the Man U job for oodles of lovely money?
