Mon to manage Republic of Ireland?

[rob_bridge]

perfect job for MON as others have said,
 no money to waste, gets the best out of average players,
 and of course last but certainly not least, he is Irish,

And it's Part Time. And doesn't need to do any scouting

I hate the fact that I now will support a team managed by that fecker.

And how the two of them are going to get on is anybody's guess.

To be fair mate I found it immensely difficult to support England 2004-2010 when so many people believe that Golden Generation bollocks even though evidence suggested to the contrary.  One of your countrymen said to me a couple of years back --- the worse thing that happened to England was 5-1 in Munich against the poorest German team in 50 years. The hype machine went in to overdrive.

So it would appear that DOL missed out on another job then.

You'd think he'd have given up by now - as for MON, good luck to him. I think he now realizes that he did the wrong thing by us. I've moved on. I'd rather save my vitriol for the likes of DOL and Hodge tbh.

MON has expressed some contrition for how he left us. It was ever so briefly in a post-match interview after he played us with Sunderland at VP a year and  a half ago. I nearly spat my drink out. For someone as stubborn as him to admit to a personal failing is quite telling.

[Toronto Villa]

Seriously, I hope he does well. For being a prick on many levels he still left us with some excellent memories in his time with us. I also spent a few years living in Dublin back in the mid 90's so I want them to do well. Great country and people.

I like the Irish but I cant get over how that bloke treated us and several years later we are still paying for his ego.

Sorry Ireland but fuck your National Team until you are rid of him.

Agreed.

Same here

Guessing Walford will still do the coaching and Keane will step into the "John Robertson" role, of which the exact function has never really been ascertained. 

[TheSandman]

Keane and MON is a partnership which will end in tears.

Yes. Whilst I think Pubey might be suited to international football the addition of Keane adds a level of combustibility that makes disaster almost a certainty.

[edgysatsuma89]

With MON's idiosyncratic approach to team selection, look out for Ciaran Clark playing centre forward for the RoI and Dunne perhaps having a stint in goal.

And will Cuellar be at right back?
