View Full Version : Lawrie Sanchez quits
Sanchez has quit the Northern Ireland job to become Fulham manager. I'm disappointed but not particularly surprised. It would have been nice if he could have stayed on until the end of the Euro 2008 qualifying, after all it ends in November which is only a couple of months into the Premiership season.
Still thanks for everything Lawrie! :respect:

Just goes to show that international football management is now the stepping stone to becoming a Premiership club manager and not the other way around as it used to be (Sanchez, Mark Hughes, now possibly Klinsmann as well).
Aw ffs, i'm gutted and i'm sure all Northern Ireland fans and indeed players are aswell.
Thanks for installing some pride in our wee country but i'm disappointed that you didn't honour your contract(end of euro qualifiers)
I'm not sure where we go from here :(

I think there are a few top jobs - Brazil, Italy, England, Argentina, oddly Portugal where this isn't the case but in general I agree.

I think Fulham have taken a massive gamble here to be honest. It is clear Sanchez is an excellent motivator and can help teams compete against those who are better than the ones he runs. He showed this not only with NI but also at Wycombe, but on a consistent basis over a season this will be tough, if I rmemeber correclty and I could be wrong, despite Wycombe's cup heroics they didn't get promoted out of the league they were in.
I think it is a sign that Al Fayed doesn't want to put more money in to be honest. He wants a manager to make the best of what they have and not to demand too much in terms of transfers. Coleman and before him Tigana were coaches who liked passing football but the sort of players who can do that in the PL cost big money. In the last season or so Fulham have become basically a selling club with no decent replacements of similar quality or value bought in for Malbranque or Boa Morte. It all smacks of a disinterested owner.
If Rafa hadn't have picked that weakened team last weekend then Fulham would have lost to us and Lawrie would still be NI manager.
I blame Liverpool! :crackoff:

Fulham will do crap next year. Sanchez is a shit manager.
Internationals is a different level to Club teams these days.
He done a Excellent job with them in his time, but now they will go back to the way they were before he came. Bye bye these temp glory days

Lets talk about now though, we're a far better team than the ROI now.
Better organised, better team spirit and a better chance of reaching Euro 2008.

I prefer to watch NI play than ROI over the last couple of years.
NI play with a hunger and passion and just do not give up on any ball. ROI play some of the dullest and defeatist football I have seen. Turgid viewing coupled with an elitist attitude. I don't expect to see ROI win tournaments, but some pride and passion when they are on the pitch would do me.

What are the odds of Sanchez being the first managerial casualty of next season??
They were brilliant in 1990,1994,and 2002 where the fuck were yee in all those World Cups????? Ill tell ya where you were sitting on your arses at home :bird: :bird: :whatever:
And where we you in 1958, 1982 and 1986?? :whatever:
Lets face it, we are tiny nations and success on the pitch will always be cyclical - we don't even have fully professional leagues.
NI was up when ROI was down and then vice versa. It will be that way forever more. Still its nice to see a fellow Irishman supporting us on our way!! :rolleyes:
