turned down an offer to manage celtic?
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
I dont think it was an offer to manage Celtic but more like in advisory role with Neil Lennon, something like what Bobby Robson did with Stan.Originally Posted by Crosby87
We all saw how well that worked
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist thinks it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.
His head wasnt turned that is the main thing, we need him fully focused for the road ahead.
RTE R1 are reporting that Trappatoni has suffered a minor stroke during a routine procedure on his carotid artery in Italy on 29 Dec. He suffered slight paralysis, but recovered and has been discharged.
(Posting here as I didn't think a "Trap's Health" thread is merited. Mods feel free to disagree.)
Taken from Eurosport:
The 71-year-old Italian was having a routine operation on a carotid artery at the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan on December 29 when he suffered the stroke, which caused partial paralysis down the right side of his body.
Trapattoni was immediately moved to intensive care, but amazed doctors with his quick recovery and has since been discharged.
He is now continuing his recovery at his home in Cusino Milanino near Milan.
A spokesman for the FAI said they were not aware of any recent health problems suffered by their manager.
Trapattoni was admitted to hospital in Ireland last August after suffering abdominal pains, missing the friendly against Argentina in the process. He spent six days in Dublin's Mater Hospital after surgeons discovered his discomfort was being caused by minor scar tissue from a previous procedure.
One of Europe's most successful coaches, Trapattoni has gained huge popularity in Ireland after leading the national team to a World Cup qualification play-off in 2009.
They lost the tie to France in controversial circumstances due to Thierry Henry's handball which set up a William Gallas goal that ultimately sent Les Bleus to South Africa at the Republic's expense.
Ireland are sitting second in their Euro 2012 qualifying group, two points behind leaders Russia. Their next match is at home to Macedonia on March 26.
just got a text from my buddy mentioning the same.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!

Not good news one way or the other really. Hopefully, he will be fully recovered but not a good sign.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
i've spent the last half hour working on some headlines for when we secure qualification to our next tournament
"Win for Republic as Strokey picks Stokesy"
"Substitution Proves the Masterstroke from Trappatoni"
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Shouldn't of taken you half an hour to be fair.
"Stroke of good luck for once as Ireland secure qualification"
"Harte Attack for Ireland as Ian solves left back problem"
But seriously, hope he is in good health and stories of his stroke are greatly exaggerated.
Get well soon regardless.
it took me 2 minutes - i didnt want to seem too cocky though...
Also, best wishes to Trappatoni!

I suppose it was ominous for Trap when Frank Drebben passed away recently.
Trap's in hospital.
What is it?
A big building with lots of patients.
...... but that's not important right now.
Daniel McDonnell being a bit sensational in this article methinks!
