I wouldn't with hiring him
Just because Kenny wasn't qualified for the role, doesn't mean we should make the same mistake. OShea is obviously better, but we need experience now. Not another punt

His claim would be modest in a perfect world, but he does not deserve such a pejorative. Anyone who backed Kenny beyond the Armenia debacle has a hide to rubbish any candidate.

I think the pejorative means people with zero experience in a managerial role.
