George Burley, I was surprised to see, is the bookies favourite to be the next Ireland Coach!

Cant see that he'd take the Ireland job, that would probaly be a step backward for him and like all national jobs are unless you do better than expected.

I've heard rumours Burley is going to Villa and O'Leary will take over the Ireland job, probably a load of crap though!

exactly what ive herd mate. He was asked by Villa on his avallibilty as they had a feeling O,Leary would be offerd the job. Burley was caught speaking to them. And this is why he was sacked so im led to beleive.

That would be great. I would only hear O'Leary talk during the international breaks, instead of once or twice a week. He's like a used car salesman, although I admit it seemed worse when he was with Leeds.

Just got back from a job in Scotland - the favourite rumour up there at the moment is that GB will be the next manager at Rangers, especially after this weeks result at Livvy!!!

Don't put much store by it myself (I'm with the Villa scenario), but who can tell in this strange and wonderful game.
