I generally enjoy your posts Nesta but that last, lengthy one reads (to me at least) as a personal disdain for Stephen Bradley so developed as to be a fetish (or a fairly risible attempt at trolling) rather than anything grounded in cold logic.
I agree too with the point made by a few others that his accomplishments here won't hold much sway if gets off to a bad start (a la Fenlon/Kenny in Scotland) but why wouldn't he take a crack at it? It's probably with one eye on the job after Lincoln too - if he does well (and a vague push for the playoffs in second season after a midtable first year might constitute doing well) there's nothing to say that one of the big League 1 clubs wouldn't take a punt and if it goes badly he's young enough that he could find himself back in Tallaght (or maybe even the Brandywell or, perish the thought, Oriel) down the road.
