As the old saying goes "water always finds its own level"..... interesting to see what now transpires if anything from this.... the guy never struck me as being anything but a coach, so what will his role as "Director of Football" involve ? anyway hope it works out as he may of failed (IMO) at the Irish job but hopefully he'll offer something in the new role.... wonder will he now be happy to talk to the press !!

Exactly. Kerr is a bore. Still cant see why its being greeted like its the makings of St Pats!

Yeah, I see what you mean. A lot of people wanted to poach Staunton for the job but it was eventually decided that he was just too world class for us.

Does this mean it's back to the old set piece athletic

Joking aside if Pats get the investment that's rumoured it's looking very good for them, and hopefully they 'll stay in Richmond. Btw, what changed Kerr's mind as he's said before that he's no interest in working in this league again?

Ok read the report and you might get some clues....
Kerr in as Director of football - Good Move
New Owners of the club + New Money coming in - good Move
Staying in Inchicore in a MODERNISED Richmond - Great move because we're not moving....

**A face** · 13/03/2007, 4:00 PM

Please say he is coming back as manager, i think he'd be great

**pete** · 13/03/2007, 4:01 PM

I can't see Kerr being willing to sit on the sidelines so he may undermine old McDonnell. Seems like the makings of Dolan v Buckley II?

I would have thought Kerr would have been slow to return to the LOI given the impression this would give to barstoolers.

Thanks for the answer as opposed to the pointless smart comment.

That is good for Pats. Providing Kerr doesnt but in too much on the playing side. Ye seem to be ticking along nicely.

The fact that Staunton is worse than Kerr... doesn't in way mean that Kerr was a success, IMO he failed because he didn't have the "nerve" when it came to going for wins in the W/cup qualifiers away to both France and Isreal who were both there for the taking and of course his dreadful mistake when Robbie Keane got injured in the home game against Israel... I thought it was a good appointment when he got the Irish job but IMO he just couldn't quiet step up to the plate and thus he failed.... so don't take it too personally and I hope he does a good job with Pats and it should be fun seing how he interacts with Delaney !!

He could never offer anything to Youth Developmet or overseeing the footballing structure of the club - can't see it working!!
