Yesterday, we conducted a poll amongst Balls readers to find out which team people would rather manage, the Irish national team, or Premier League strugglers Crystal Palace.
Martin O'Neill appears to be undecided about whether to take the much revered 'O'Neill Effect' to international football or to the bottom of the Premier League and imminent relegation, but the world's population have spoken and there's no doubting which job emerges as more appetizing.
Poll results
Who would you rather manage?
Ireland- 69.5%
Crystal Palace- 30.5%
So it's now official, the Ireland job is more glamorous than Crystal Palace.
