Yeah Bradys skills seem to be in development of young players and to be fair he is doing an exceptional job at that. No way would I think he would be good at the job. I think Aldridge or Sheridan are the 2 that stand out at the moment followed by O Leary
In Trap we trust
tbh I'd be all for a foreign coach. The premiership is the new Serie A. The England football team is boring. The Irish team is boring. It's no coincedence imo. If all our international players are going to be playing in Britain at least we could get a coach in that plays attractive football. Off the top of my head what about Poland's coach that was sacked after the world cup? Someone that can get that Polish team to beat Azerbaijan 8-0 must be good.
Aldridge wouldn't be a poor choice either.
There is no such thing as a miracle cure, a free lunch or a humble opinion.
Yeah thats it - he wasnt "ars*d." Yeah your right there - I mean its not like he ever played with a bit of pride in the jersey or anything.Originally Posted by OwlsFan
..and who couldn't be ars*d to play in friendlies or to play a qualifier in Iran or in the World Cup in Korea/Japan etc etc. Yeah, bring on God
The current manager and a lot of the current crop of players attitudes yowards the national team are a total disgrace - Keane would savage into them ad let them know they are an ambarassment to the nation and a total disgrace
I firmly believe you need an older manager in an international job , ok klinsi and rijkaard were not bad at all but in Big Jack we had soemone who had seen it all at every level and knew every trick in the book , this rubbish of having our coach learn on the job is ridiculous. stan is dealing with million pound players and he has been found out as clueless. they may pity him but they sure don't respect him. someone of stature is required.
Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.
I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty;
I woke, and found that life was Duty.
How long ago was Brady a manager?
He may have learned something in the interim.
That Celtic job was a graveyard for manys the manager before Brady.
Werent Brighton close to bankrupt when he was manager? Dont think he would be a bad choice purely on the basis nobody can be at Arsenal for so long without picking up some good habits.
I said he'd be interesting and might not be swayed by the politics of the squad. I never said he'd be a good maanger!
'And Crouch must score'
how many young lads have gone onto play for Arsenal from the youth squad of Brady's? One maybe?
i'm wth roger milla on this one. a houllier type would do the trick. The argenintinian world cup coach (Pekerman) would be my all time favorite. he' sused to dealing with ar$e hole like tevez and crespo, so could handle the irish "brat pack". failing that I would honestly take anyone over staunton (brady, o'leary, aldo, sheridan - all the way down the list)
Has Pekerman even proven himself more than Brian Kerr? He had a squad full of world class players to work with. His substitutions against Germany were baffling and lost them the game.
Im totally with you on that one...altho he can only send them on to the manager...if he doesnt pick them what can he do....its been pointed out that a lot of arsenal acadamy graduates have gone on to have successfull careers at a high enough level. whether the figures are any better than other clubs or whether this is actually part of Bradys brief is a open to debate. Im just saying dont judge him on his time at celtic. At the time they seemed to change managers frequently.
He's doing a helluva job in Sunderland. What Irish managers are doing a better job than him with their teams right now?..and who couldn't be ars*d to play in friendlies or to play a qualifier in Iran or in the World Cup in Korea/Japan etc etc. Yeah, bring on God
He's doing a good job alright .. and the Man united loan players are a big help to him
Not stirring the sh1t, but Mick Mc Carthy is working wonders at Wolves. Absolutely no budget and taking rejects and small signings and they are hanging in there this season just outside the playoffs. I'm sure if they did make the premiership, he would have learned from the last times that he was up there with sunderland.
John Sheridan is doing better.
To be fair he has a great squad at his disposal probably one of the best in that divison so only now are they in a position which reflects their talents , I wouldnt put too much of it down to his great managerial prowess.
Not at all underestimating the job he has done at Sunderland but he's got quite a bit of money at his disposal aswell. I'd definitely say that Sheridan is doing the better job this season...
"Well I think they'll be a little disappointed with that" - Matt Holland on TV3 after 5-2 drubbing by Cyprus
Sheridan has his team top of the league with a lot less resources than some of the teams around him but is working at a lower level. So it's difficult to exactly compare. However they are both only in the first year of their management careers and shouldn't be considered for the Irish job just yet. Let them learn their trade with a club team and not with Ireland. The only trouble is if they become successfull at a higher level then bigger clubs with bigger wages will come in for them. In this case it would probably be easier to get Keane on board because he is allreay a multi-millionare. I'm not sure about Sheridan's financial situation though.
Hell of a lot of money? Keane has only spent 2 million net at Sunderland.
Although personally I think Mick McCarthy is doing a better job at Wolves and would have him back like a shot.
Not very world class at all?
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
D'ye reckon Dalglish could get a scouse like Kevin Nolan to declare for us!!!!
