Sunday Times: (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspaper/0,,176-1880091,00.html) I’m going for good, O’Leary tells Ryanair

MICHAEL O’LEARY, one of Europe’s best-known business figures and the man who brought low-cost travel to millions of travellers, has set 2008 as his own departure date from the company that has revolutionised the airline industry. It had been widely expected that O’Leary would “move upstairs” to take the role of non-executive chairman following his eventual retirement, but he has ruled this out.........

Perhaps the Willie Walsh replacement if the move to T5 doesn't go to plan :uhoh:

Good rumour to start! You heard it here first :}

My guess would be one of the senior management, either his deputy (a certain gentlemen from Co.Cork), who would be an excellent choice as far as I'm concerned as he is far more serious, realistic and approachable or one of the others i.e. Bilko, etc.

Alternatively, they might look outside and maybe even tempt Willie Walsh back to the Emerald Isle (rumour has it he's been in the running before).
