Just checked it out there and he said he travels with Arsenal a lot. He didn't elaborate any further unless he had mentioned it earlier in the interview.

He's been out of the game (as a manager) for a while...don't know how many takers he'd have.

11 years since he managed in England, and only one relatively unimpressive stint in the UAE in that time.

Listened to it last night. A great player and really enjoyable listening to him.

He didn't seem too concerned to be fair. Sounds like he has the life of Riley as it is!

About €4 million in compensation from Al-Ahli would make anybody happy!

The ship has sailed but I would have liked the idea of him as Ireland manager due to his record of getting the best out of young players.

I don't know whether money can buy happiness, but at least it brought a wide grin to David's face.

O'Leary not on Thomas Hitzlperger's Christmas card list - http://www.planetfootball.com/in-dep...y-klopp-barry/

�On the way to the stadium, I knew who was playing, then he said who was on the bench and I wasn�t even on the bench.

�I was furious, I wanted to leave the ground. I thought �don�t do it now and ruin everything with this�, but I was deeply hurt, he could have given me five minutes and he didn�t.

�That was really hard to take in, my family were there and all wanted to go out into Liverpool afterwards to celebrate, but I wasn�t in the mood and I went back.�
