    He's a great appointment from their perspective.

    He'll hardly manage to make a silk purse out of the sows ear that is their national squad ...but he'll be a huge asset to their youth setup and as a re-organiser (if neccessary) of the structures of football there. There's likely to be a limited amount you can do with a country who's population is about that of Waterford but best of luck to him.

    He was a really good Ireland manager and was only disliked because he wasn't British enough for the Ole' Ole' Sheeple and RTEngland, but this is a good job as its not the other side of the world and not too much pressure.

    Good Luck to him.

    +1.

    He was a conservative coach which people did not like but we have another one of them now. He was not a great Ireland coach but not a bad one either.

    Good to see he is involved in the developed of their association.

    a coup on faroe islands part but seriously he's got nothing to work with. imo he should be managing a national teams like Macedonia, Bosnia, Latvia etc where he can do something but with faroes not a chance.

    good luck kerr. i wish him the best

    stepping stone? An improbable win or two brings you onto the radar at least.

    Wouldn't agree that he was a 'really good' Ireland manager, but I think once the knives were out for him, he had no chance.

    Good luck to him, it is hard to know exactly what he hopes to achieve with the Faroes, but I hope it works out for all concerned.

    A bit of a comedown to be honest, I was always expecting him to go back into LoI management at some point. As people said, I don't think he got a fair crack of the whip as Ireland manager.

    Think it's a good move for him, agree that he's good enough to manage a latvia or a macedonia squad and I reckon a couple of good draws and a win, however unlikely, with the faroes excuse for a squad would get him that bit of attention...
