Yeah Bradys skills seem to be in development of young players and to be fair he is doing an exceptional job at that. No way would I think he would be good at the job. I think Aldridge or Sheridan are the 2 that stand out at the moment followed by O Leary
tbh I'd be all for a foreign coach. The premiership is the new Serie A. The England football team is boring. The Irish team is boring. It's no coincedence imo. If all our international players are going to be playing in Britain at least we could get a coach in that plays attractive football. Off the top of my head what about Poland's coach that was sacked after the world cup? Someone that can get that Polish team to beat Azerbaijan 8-0 must be good. ;)
Aldridge wouldn't be a poor choice either.
Yeah thats it - he wasnt "ars*d." Yeah your right there - I mean its not like he ever played with a bit of pride in the jersey or anything. :rolleyes:Quote:

I firmly believe you need an older manager in an international job , ok klinsi and rijkaard were not bad at all but in Big Jack we had soemone who had seen it all at every level and knew every trick in the book , this rubbish of having our coach learn on the job is ridiculous. stan is dealing with million pound players and he has been found out as clueless. they may pity him but they sure don't respect him. someone of stature is required.
How long ago was Brady a manager?
He may have learned something in the interim.
That Celtic job was a graveyard for manys the manager before Brady.
Werent Brighton close to bankrupt when he was manager? Dont think he would be a bad choice purely on the basis nobody can be at Arsenal for so long without picking up some good habits.
I said he'd be interesting and might not be swayed by the politics of the squad. I never said he'd be a good maanger!Quote:

Has Pekerman even proven himself more than Brian Kerr? He had a squad full of world class players to work with. His substitutions against Germany were baffling and lost them the game.
Im totally with you on that one...altho he can only send them on to the manager...if he doesnt pick them what can he do....its been pointed out that a lot of arsenal acadamy graduates have gone on to have successfull careers at a high enough level. whether the figures are any better than other clubs or whether this is actually part of Bradys brief is a open to debate. Im just saying dont judge him on his time at celtic. At the time they seemed to change managers frequently.Quote:

John Sheridan is doing better.Quote:

The only trouble is if they become successfull at a higher level then bigger clubs with bigger wages will come in for them. In this case it would probably be easier to get Keane on board because he is allreay a multi-millionare. I'm not sure about Sheridan's financial situation though.
Hell of a lot of money? Keane has only spent 2 million net at Sunderland.
Although personally I think Mick McCarthy is doing a better job at Wolves and would have him back like a shot.
Not very world class at all?Quote:
