Staunton set to leave Republic job
Last updated : 22 October 2007 By Andy Van Hagen
The BBC report Steve Staunton faces lthe sack from his Republic of Ireland job on Tuesday when the Football Association of Ireland holds an emergency board meeting.
Staunton's reign suffered a new low on Wednesday when his side drew 1-1 against Cyprus at Croke Park. After the Euro 2008 qualifier, FAI chief John Delaney refused to give public backing to the Republic manager.
Staunton was named Ireland manager while a player at Walsall. We managed to get a compensation package for the player who had made an unimpressive start to his Bescot days.
