Kerr in line for manager's job at (insert club here)...

Agree 100% with that. If Kerr was English and talked like Cockney "Geezer" Terry Venables would he have gotten such a hard time from so many people ?. I hope he gets the South Africa job, and if they ever come up against Ireland in a World Cup managed by him I know whose colours I'll be wearing that day (after all, if it's good enough for Eamonn Dunphy in his support of Keano )

I admire your loyalty Tony but I disagree. I think Kerr got a much more favourable run from the media & the public in his early years than an outside candidate would have got. Nearly everyone I know was behind him until it became pretty clear that the players weren't playing for him & the results weren't getting any better. I think an Englishman with Kerr's results, style of play, relationship with the players & relationship with the press would have got a much tougher time.

Kerr linked with Celtic role


January 24, 2006

Former Republic of Ireland manager Brian Kerr is a candidate for the youth development job at Celtic, according to a morning newspaper report.

The Bank of Scotland Premierleague leaders will begin a search for a new youth team guru if current incumbent Kenny McDowall lands the vacant manager’s job at Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Kerr has an exceptional record with younger players from his time in charge of the Irish youths set-up and, according to a report in the Irish Sun, Celtic may offer him a route back into football at Parkhead.

It is not known whether the Dubliner, out of a job since the end of Ireland’s World Cup qualification campaign in October, would be keen on a return to a youths environment.

Interesting! Thought BK revealed a few years ago that he was a Rangers fan.

Translation: "The Dubliner is not keen on a return to a youths environment but at least we got a few paragraphs out of it"
