Denis Irwin, "My very reliable sources in both Manchester and Dublin say there has been contact between the FAI and my old manager. Of course, he is denying it.

"He'd be a brilliant choice. Alex would never manage England, so Ireland - a country and people he knows well - would be the one for him."
