Must surely be a step up from the previous incumbent?

As I suspected, the FAI won't have been able to afford him as they haven't got a pot to piss in.

They'll end up with some desperate, shambolic appointment like Neil Lennon who they'll be able to scape minimum wage together for.

The FAI have about as much chance as I do of being able to pay anyone over half a million a year - less than zero.
 
Carsley is even believed to have poured cold water on the notion that he had met the FAI headhunters and discussed the role, but certainly he was approached and didn’t need to notify his employer under the terms of his agreement as the FA had been long aware of his interest in taking the Ireland job. No formal request to speak to Carsley was made by the FAI, which would suggest that its dealings with him broke down at a relatively early stage. Any reluctance is likely to have come on Carsley’s side rather than the FAI’s, though the association made it clear yesterday that nobody had been offered the job and the search continues.

There is a train of thought that the former Ireland midfielder may still be formally approached by the FAI, which was reported to have been conducting interviews last week at the FA headquarters in St George’s Park, of all places.
