He got Pat Kenny on one point
Charlton said that Keane is too hot headed every to manage Ireland
Kenny said that there was lots of cases of hot headed players making great managers
Charlton, said name one,
To which Kenny replied, ehm, ehm, I suppose there are none.
TBF, Kenny hasn't must of a clue about football but I could name a good few hot headed football managers. Keane will make a great manager imo.
It was hot headed players becoming great managers was the argument. I thought it was funny that Kenny made a sweeping statement without having any facts to back it up.
Graem Souness was a hot headed players, May not a great manger but making a good living from the game.
I think Alex Ferguson was a hot headed player and is one of the great managers of the last 20 years.
Stuart Pearce is new to management, but he's making a good start. They didn't come much more hot-headed. Ok, so you can't say he's great yet.
It's just that the quiet, studious type with a low profile playing career are in vogue at the moment.
Stuart Peace was not hot headed. Passionate and a genuine hard man in the proper sense of the word (i.e. could give it AND take it) but was not hot headed in the sense that he would fly off the handle at the slightest provocation.
The problem I had with Jack the other night, and tbh any time I hear him speak, is that he's always on the make.
He doesn't really have a clue what is happening with the Irish team at the moment and at the end he was more concerned with plugging his DVD and the signing in Easons. He's still a legend though, in terms of the memories, but he's always out for himself.

Ferguson was the obvious one.Quote:

Charlton didn't say a lot, except have another pop at Keane. Well worth his appearance fee then... :rolleyes:
Saw the late late on Friday, the 2 of them deserve each other. kenny must be the biggest muppet on television globally, he hasn't abreeze. he rolls 'Big Jack' out every season, with the same questions about Roy keane, Saipan, Fishing, load of ******'. As for 'Big jack', never liked the man, as was said earlier the man hasn't clue, totally out of touch.
Don't know whether anyone say the Ire / Eng game from the WC 1990 on Setanta on Friday Night. Jesus christ what a load of tripe..
Yeah, watched bits of it but I had to turn it off because it was very boring. I knew we played the "Long-Ball" game, but I forgot how boring it could be.Quote:

Except for when he stormed into the changing room of one of Brian Kerr's youth matches at half time of course...
Pat Kenny is useless isn't he. I can name a few hotheads that didn't do too badly in management.
Was n't Liam Tuohy manager then ?Quote:
