    Staunton's reign suffered a new low on Wednesday when his side drew 1-1 against Cyprus at Croke Park. </p>

    After the Euro 2008 qualifier, FAI chief John Delaney refused to give public backing to the Republic manager. </p>

    The FAI is refusing to comment but BBC Sport understands the meeting is set to take place on Tuesday. </p>

    In an RTE interview on Thursday, Delaney was repeatedly asked to back Staunton but the FAI chief refused to do so. </p>

    &quot;This is the third or fourth crisis around the management,&quot; he said. </p>

    &quot;We had it after Cyprus, we had it after San Marino, we had it after Prague so people are getting conditioned to this form of crisis but I think that it's important board members get time to reflect on recent performances.&quot; </p>

    Staunton vowed to stay on in the post after Wednesday's game but time now appears to be running out for the Dundalk man. </p>

    Ireland are third in the Group D table but Germany and the Czech Republic have already qualified for the final in Austria and Switzerland next summer. </p></font></td></tr></tbody></table>
