FA Why?

Welcome to the first post on the newest sports blog in Ireland.......ok now I am probably not the newest.....damn typing speed.

Anyway the topic that finally inspired me to start this is the search for a new manager by the Football Association of Ireland.

Steve Staunton left the job on the 23rd of October. That's 12 weeks this Tuesday. In those three months such august entities as the English FA, Fulham, the Liberal Democrats in the UK, the good people of Georgia and the African National Congress have all chosen a new head honcho.

The only people taking longer than the FAI to choose a new boss is the PDs and they are now thinking, "why bother, lets just jack it in, nobody will notice"

Is that the plan? Has John Delaney decided that we don't need a boss? No embarrassing press conferences, no expensive contract pay offs, in fact, think of the money we could save if we didn't bother entering these annoying tournaments at all.

We will be without a manager for the World Cup fixture meeting this week and it looks increasingly likely we will be without a manager for the Brazil friendly on Feb 6th.

If you had any faith in them you would hope they were waiting for the right man (all suggestions gratefully received) to be come available.....if you had any faith in them.....if you had any faith in them....
