Said this morning on Soccer AM that when he finishes his B licence and progresses to his A licence that he would love to manage the Ireland U 21's!
I wouldn't complain if he took over, I wouldn't complain if Josef Fritzl took over from Don Givens who I think we all agree is a crap manager!
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
Well he would certainly stop the team sneaking off to the pub.

Mentions the U-21s at the 4:50 mark
i wouldnt let him run a marathon never mind a football team!!!
roddy collins should be a comedian!!
In fairness U21 job is a rough enough job, not many people would want the role. Im not standing up for givens by any means but usually the best players under 21 arent available to the manager as they are called up to the senior squad. Having said that Givens hasnt got the U21s even close to qualifying in recent times which isnt good enough.
totally agree with that, been saying it for years that our under 21 manager should be like his players and have ambitions to someday move into the Senior job.... Not McAteer for me though. I think Kenny Cunningham would be my choice of our ex internationals at the moment.He doesnt have any experience but he is very knowledgeable about the game from what Ive seen and was always an excellent organiser on the pitch
Its really not that complicated!!!
i second that - young and amnbitious - loved playng for ireland and wants to see ireland become a force again - why not give the guy a go once he gets the licence.
in fairness he wouldnt strike alot of ppl as coaching material but then again there have been players who alot of ppl would have presumed would have made great managers and when they got the chance they didnt cut it
id love to see mcateer get a chance
Isn't that how Croatia blooded Slaven Bilic?
Stan is also out of a job at the moment
The right choice would be Brian Kerr, hes an underused asset in Irish football.
