ZZ to get the bullet at the end of the season apparently. Talk of Jogi Low taking over.
Pochettino is Plan B.

MON and Keane for Stoke City? That'll be very interesting to see how it turns out (if it happens.)

He'd really suit them. I'm torn as to whether I want him to stay with Ireland, the football would make your eyes bleed but I can't see who would get more out of a very average group of players.

Probably nobody.

After his last sojourn into club football and at his stage in life I would be surprised if he took on the Stoke job if offered to him. Ireland want him to stay and I think he should.

Flores would be a great move.
Surprised when he left Watford...

MON should stick with the international game.

Looks like he will. Sanchez Flores is the first choice.

With carrote going back to Juve?

Allegri has done well to keep the Juve team ticking over, like he did at Milan but after a few years the clubs he's at fall apart and he gets the bag.

He'll get destroyed in the premier league.

Looking at how well he is doing with Espanyol it's not a given he will leave. But money will undoubtedly talk, probably triple his wage coming back to the PL.

He has done amazingly well at Shamrock Rovers and with Northern Ireland. He is miles better than most candidates.

I actually think there are some decent raw materials to work with in Scotland, Centre of defence is always a problem but with good organisation that is an area that could improve.

Best thing would be if the Tartan Army could just accept that performances don't matter in International Football and we make ourselves really hard to beat and take it from there.

Feel he's benefited from having some really good defenders in Ireland - which he doesn't have here - and based a reputation on being stuffy and bullish.

Don't see him changing the mentality which has plagued Scotland and that's lack of technique. Instead, I feel Scotland going to try to revert back to the boot it to eff mentality.

If I was a Tartan Army fan I'd have hoped to see someone wanting to build on the increasing technical ability of players. A Rodgers lite.

But each to their own I suppose. Doesn't really bother me.

Shamrock Rovers won't have as good a back four as Scotland.

Northern Ireland don't score a huge amount of goals. That is probably obvious when you are relying on Connor Washington and Kyle Lafferty. But it is a bit of a myth they are stuffy and bullish. They largely play a 4-3-3 and they like to get it down and play. There is no launching it forward to a big striker. Davis's control of the ball in a massive influence. If Scotland do get O'Neill they will likely be more attacking then people think.
