Robbie Keane and the Irish players will have their say

Robbie Keane has revealed that senior players are to meet with FAI chief John Delaney to discuss who should be the next Republic of Ireland manager.

The FAI were criticised for recruiting the inexperienced Steve Staunton who was sacked in October after 21 months.

"A few of the senior players are going to have a chat with John. We will give a fair opinion," said captain Keane.

"It is up to the people over us to get somebody in place, but we will give our opinion if that is what they want."

The Irish want to end a disappointing Euro campaign with a win over Wales.

"The lads are disappointed with the way we have performed as a team," added Keane.

"We know we have not played as well as we would have liked, but hopefully we can put some pride back.
