Fair analysis. I get the feeling you're a bit closer to this emotionally than I am. I've always kept an eye out for the Republic of Ireland since USA 94. Hopefully you get a solid appointment that can take you to the next Euro's. Hughton will undoubtedly end up managing the R.O.I, but as others...
One of the Steve's will probably get it. Stephen Kenny or Steve Bruce. Can't see them going back for Mick McCarthy. Though he did a more than decent job for them during the early noughties.
