Don't be silly ForestLen, I mean 4-3-3 with younger players actually playing in the correct position!
Did you listen to Tardelli the other day, apparently the hopeless case of a management team are desperate for Duff return.

Who would you want to replace the idiotic Trap, Forest?
I've never given it any real thought, but I do know that Trap has to go now!

There's arent any obvious stand out candidates because there rarely are people sitting in the wings waiting for an international job so alot would depend on who became available should the job open on the market! Last time the collection of FAI interviewers messr's Houghton, Howe and Hamilton somehow found themselves tasked with the job due the CEO hiding in his office afraid to do the parts to his job that are difficult (prefers getting the drinks in on the FAI credit card)
But for me I'd like someone who approached it full time, watched players, wasnt allurgic to players under 25 (imagine that!!) and so would be prepared to throw youngsters in if they were good enough. Would Robbie Keane make his debut for Ireland at 17 if Trap were in charge??? Hardly ha-ha!! Someone who was a recent student of the game and had a knowledge of the current game and would be capable of thinking beyond 4-4-2!!
Names of people who might be suitable?
Owen Coyle? Proud Irishman and plays attractive football. Harry? Why not, he's the right age and might appeal to him? if Brendan Rogers got the bullet from Liverpool I think he'd be someone that would bring alot to the table. Other than that there would be a group of candidates that would emerge that would let it be known theat they'd be available. Trap was Salzburg mgr when the job came up last time so who knows who might emerge, all I do know is at this point the old bull has lost the dressing room and the support of the majority of irish fans!!
