After another disappointing performance and result yesterday you can almost see the enthusiasm dying in MM. all this uncertainty about the Irish job is most definitely affecting the dressing room and the management team, if he his going then just go, if not then come out and say so. I would love him to stay, but this is getting silly now, and its starting to affect the teams performance. I think its time for ME to pin MM down about his intentions and act accordingly. If another manager is needed I would like to mention Uwe(Uve?) Rossler down at Brentford who I believe is doing a tremendous job with the cool and trusted efficiency of the Germans. I know everyone has their own ideas regarding a replacement, but this all could stop with a simple statement from MM or ME. Come on you two, sort yourself out and get back to the job in hand.
I am big admirer of Mick and what he has achieved in just a year in charge BUT yes you are right in as much as we now need a statement from Mick and the Club that clarifies his position. Mick has always been honest and straight forward but sometimes it is not that easy when you are subject to media hysteria. Yes he needs to come out now and either confirm or deny his intentions towards the ROI job. Speculation on who should replace him is not only premature but IMO also disrespectful. Good post BTW
What baffles me is why Mick would want the Ireland job in the first place, its not like being the boss of a league side, where you have a daily imput, being in charge of your country is a part time position, and you think real football people would want to be more involved. Going back say 20 years, with the exception of England, how many of the home nations have qualified for the World Cup, or the Euros, very few, which means when those competitions are being played, the non qualifiers are resigned to a year of friendlies, which are not worth a jot, and don't even conform to the rules of football, some people might say these jobs are for prestige, but they also have the added problem of players crying off for games, with mysterious injuries, surely not worth the hassle, just don't get it
And how many international managers TS say they miss the day to day running of a club. He's been there done it when they were competitive. They are a nation on the slide and he would certainly have his work cut out.
Good post yorkiegit, yes I was thinking about Uwe Rosler also the other day, think he could potentially be a good manager at this level. Surely a manager see's manager their country as the pinnacle of their career so I understand why he would want it but in Micks case he's managed them before and he's a yorkshire man. Plus as I said he hasn't been with us very long, which is why I think even if he wants the job he should turn it down.
