If Roy Keane was put in charge with appointing Irelands next Manager, who would he consider for the job & who would be most likely to get it???
Here's his top 10:
No. 10. David O'Leary @ 25-1 : Pro's: Has Managed a good premiership side & worked along side a very experienced Manager in George Graham. Con's: He's a "Jackiene" from Dublin.
No. 09. John Aldridge @ 20-1 : Pro's: He was better then Niall Quinn by a country mile as a player, enjoys a few drinks & is'nt afraid to stand up to authority figures like the FAI (e.g. Tellin the 4th offical that go **** himself f****** b*****x in f***** USA durin the game against mexico) Con's: He's a scouser.
No. 08. Michael Collins @ 18-1: Pro's: He's from Cork. Con's: He's Dead.
No. 07. Bertie Ahern @ 15-1 : Pro's: He supports Man U & would'nt risk playin Keane in friendly games incase he got injured & missed Utd's next game against Liverpool... Also has experience in Managing the county allbeit in a slightly different role. Con's: He's another "Jackiene" from Dublin & also made an absolute balls of the flood tribunal similar to McCarthy's handling of the Keane affair in Saipan.
No. 06. Stuart Pearse @ 10-1 : Pro's: Experienced campaigner, Never say die attitute similar to Keane... won't stand for pansies like Kilbane, Babb, Kennedy, Connolly & Harte... Con's: Ugly.
No. 05 Paul McGrath @ 8-1 : Pro's: Personnal friend of Roy Keane, Played for Man U, Arguably Irelands greatest ever player, Will never find himself in a situation where he's flown half way afround the world with his team only to find they have no training kits as he's good mates with champion Sports. Also would defo up for gettin absolutely gee eyed after the game.
No. 04 Eamonn Dunphy @ 7-1: Pro's: Hates Mick McCarthy & Jack Charlton - Adores Roy Keane & is always up for getting absolutely 'tired and emotional' every weekend. Con's: "Jackiene", Supports Cameroon.
No. 03 Alex Ferguson @ 5-1: Pro's: One of the best managers in Europe, if not THE best... Happens to manage the same club Roy plays for... Will always stand up for his players instead blame the ref for the reason why a player drop kicked one of the fans. Con's: Does'nt speak english.
No. 02 Roy Keane (Player Manager) @ 3-1 Pro's: From Cork. Con's: As manager, Roy would be expected to attend all friendly matches including any games in Iran,Afghanistan or Outer Mongolia.
No. 01 Declan Murphy @ 2-1: Pro's: Will agree with anything Roy says or does & defend him to the ends of the earth, Hates the FAI, HATES Mick McCarthy, adores Eamonn Dunphy & would marry him if he wasn't so ugly, Would start Nailor ahead of Ian Harte (Thats a good thing, i think?) Con's: Didn't buy Roy's book, & would have to ask his bird for permission before he took the job.
