O'Shea is in charge on an interim basis for two more games
Following on from supportive words by Seamus Coleman and Enda Stevens, Knight has asked the FAI to finalise their decision ‘sooner rather than later’.
“But it would be great for John to keep it going. We've done well, the group knows him really well. There is a lot of respect for him and the staff. It's not for us to decide but we've just got to do the best we can for him and for ourselves.” Knight said: “I’ll probably watch the Euros but it will be difficult because we want to be there. “It’s disappointing that we’re not going.
“As players we would like to get it sorted sooner rather than later,” said Knight yesterday of the managerial vacancy.International managers are forever talking about the limited time frame they have to implement their ideas. As for Knight, there is an acknowledgement that Ireland shouldn’t bother trying to become Barcelona-lite because we don’t have enough talent to adopt that style.“We want to be winners, ultimately. We want to get to tournaments, and win the big games that get us there. It’s game by game. We’ve to treat it like that.
