WILDER NOT MILDER

Cascarino would love to see no-nonsense Chris brought in to spice up Ireland but he's also a fan of legend Hughton
CHRIS WILDER is Tony Cascarino's wild card to become the next Ireland manager.
Cascarino, who scored 19 goals in 88 games for Ireland, is shocked by the scale of Ireland's demise across the last six years.
The latest debacle arrived in Yerevan when Armenia left Heimir Hallgrimsson's job hanging by a thread following their 2-1 win in Tuesday's World Cup qualifier.
Cascarino isn't calling for Hallgrimsson's (inset right) head just yet but reckons his eventual replacement should be one of two men - Chris Hughton (inset left) or ex-Sheffield United boss Wilder.
He said: “Roy Keane is earning too much money with Sky and I just can't see him leaving that role to take a job like this.
“To be honest, though, Heimir Hallgrimsson needs to dig his heels in and convince everyone he can turn it around.
