Great shout on that manager in Norway!
But wouldn't that make someone like Oscar Wilde English? He was born in Dublin when it was simply another part of the Empire.
Terry Phelan manages in New Zealand, with Otaga United FC.
Are there any in the MLS?
Pat Fenlon - Dundee Utd

idiot
we will always have players who speak with a non irish accent as we have been a country with mass migration for as long as anyone remembers - dont really want to get into the "WHAT MAKES YOU IRISH" debate because nobody has the right to comment - people left these shores for their own reasons and it doesn't make them any less irish !!!
is that deal not off?Quote:

So now we have....
Mick McCarthy - Wolves
Owen Coyle - Bolton
Roy Keane - Ipswich
Chris Hughton - Newcastle
John Sheridan - Chesterfield?
Steve Staunton - Darlington
Brian Kerr - Faroe Islands
Jim Gannon (ex Motherwell/Stockport County & Dundalk)
Sean O'Driscoll (ex Bournemouth)
David O'Leary (ex Leeds & Aston Villa)
Jeff Kenna (ex Galway Utd & St Pats)
Pat Walker - Sandefjord
Gary Waddock - Wycombe Wanderers
Liam Daish - Ebbsfleet United
Terry Phelan - Otaga United FC
I would have O'Driscoll as current Doncaster Rovers rether than ex-Bournemouth. Got them promoted to championship last year beating Leeds at Wembley.Quote:

DU didnt match our evaluation of Fenlon so we wouldnt release him. Proper order too.
Sammy McElroy
Brendan Rogers (ex watford and reading)
Terry Phelan doesn't coach Otago anymore. Replaced this season by Malcolm Fleming.
Just Like Paul Mcgrath then:rolleyes:Quote:

Alan Kernaghan had a spell as Dundee boss.
joe kinnear
Involved with the Youth set up at Glasgow Rangers now.:eek:Quote:

£300k does seem a little excessive for Fenlon if DU could only manage £260k for Levein from the SFA.
Do you know what salary Fenlon was on and what term was left on his contract?
Martin O'Neill, Sammy McIlroy & Brendan Rodgers are NI Managers.
Northmen, Southmen, comrades all. Dublin, Belfast, Cork & Donegal.Quote:

If we're going to count Martin O'Neill then we should also count Nigel Worthington, Manager of the Northern Ireland team.
Also Brian Kerr, manager of Faroes.
he was under a 3 year contract with Bohs with a base salary of around e100k probably a little less. We were looking for gbp200k, DU offered 80k, then 100k. Its a great thing that we stood our ground and demanded suitable compensation - its all too often that British clubs rape the League of its best talents for next to nothing.Quote:

Clutching a straws a bit but David Kelly is assistant manager at Forest, maybe he will make the step up at another club soon.
Any other young(ish) assistants that could go on to be head coaches?
Mick McCarthy - Wolves
Owen Coyle - Bolton
Roy Keane - Ipswich
Chris Hughton - Newcastle
John Sheridan - Chesterfield
Steve Staunton - Darlington
Brian Kerr - Faroe Islands
Jim Gannon (ex Motherwell/Stockport County & Dundalk)
Sean O'Driscoll - Doncaster Rovers
David O'Leary (ex Leeds & Aston Villa)
Jeff Kenna (ex Galway Utd & St Pats)
Pat Walker - Sandefjord
Gary Waddock - Wycombe Wanderers
Liam Daish - Ebbsfleet United
Terry Phelan - (ex Otaga United FC)
David Kelly - (Asst Manager at Nottm Forest)
Either that or Bohs thought they were in for a massive windfall payment from Dundee and have wound up shafting themselves with their excessive demands. Time will tell whether Bohs can sustain their financial model next year.Quote:

Somehow Terry's reputation hasn't suffered too much and he got a profile job coaching with the NZ FA.
In an (almost) unrelated footnote, I see Jason Kabia is working in LA for Elite Irish Soccer School :eek:
