Martin O'Neill - Next Ireland boss?

According to the Evening Herald (and they're never wrong) Brian Kerr has accused the FAI of "leaving him dangling" over a new contract.

Apparently sources have suggested that CEO John Delaney will not award Kerr a new deal if the team fail to make it to the World Cup finals.

As well as all that comes the news that ex-Celtic manager Martin O'Neill is the favourite to take over if Kerr leaves his post.

As far as I'm concerned, O'Neill would be a fantastic choice as manager. However I fear that such a development would be met with much hostility in certain sections of the North.

If we were to have an all-Ireland team on the other hand, O'Neill would be the perfect candidate.

As for Brian Kerr, let's all get behind the man as he tries to secure for us a place in Germany in 2006. The group's not over yet!
