Yep, he said it. You can read all about the story (if you haven't already) in the Independent: http://www.independent.ie/sport/soc...good-job-says-defiant-trapattoni-3258506.html Also in the article are some speculated names for his replacement should Trap be shown the door. Keano, Hughton, Coyle, and possibly a 2nd spell for McCarthy. Should Denis O'Brien continue to fund management, they toss around the ideas of Redknapp, Dalglish and Benitez. Save for the Faroes on Tuesday, we don't have a competitive match until March 22nd, away to Sweden. Where do we go from here?
Not sure. But Cathal Dervan gives Denis O'Brien his two cents worth about Trap: Hi Denis, long time no see. Hope you are well and survived Friday night’s mauling for your team and your manager at the hands of the Germans. Twitter land tells me you left your seat in the Premier Level early and I can’t say I blame you if you did. The game was over long before the final whistle. You’ve done well for us in recent years by the way. Paying half of Giovanni Trapattoni’s wages has allowed the FAI to spend money on other things that matter and we should thank you for that kind gesture... ...We need one more cheque before you go however, the €2million cheque it will probably take to buy out Giovanni’s contract and allow him to enjoy his retirement in peace and in Italy. http://www.irishcentral.com/sport/An-Open-Letter-to-FAI-benefactor-Denis-OBrien-174090301.html
