Double acts have worked in the past,
Tom and Jerry
Lennon and McCarthy
Laurel and Hardy
The Chuckle Brothers etc..
Clough and Taylor
And who says it's a double act? O'Neill will be the manager.
Clough had little success without Taylor.
This is going to end bad. I'm baffled. The only thing I can come up with is that O'Neill will have a clause in the contract allowing him to leave for a certain type of club, and having Roy as number 2 lessens the blow of O'Neill leaving, as there is already a manager ready to step up.
It'll be interesting to see who they get in as coach. Chris Hughton will be available soon.
Dan McDonnell was asked about the keane vs Fai vibes, and suggested that maybe the FAI decided to do what's right for Irish football. We can expect Kerr to receive a phonecall any day so.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Well the press conference should be better than traps for starters, that's one good point.
Will be interested to how long the partnership last if things start/continue going pear shaped.
Dunno if McClean is gonna be happy with the decision tho.
I'm happy with the news and the FAI know it's box office.
People turning their noses at O'Neill? He nearly got the England job a few years back, he had a bad experience at Sunderland but kept them up. Look how many managers have struggled with that club since the American owner took charge (Keane included).
Success at Villa, Leicester & Celtic so a no brainer. If he wants Keane as AM then that's who he wants. Might do Keane the world of good, he respects MON & I'm sure the two of em can get us to the 2016 finals in France.
Tony Leen in the Examiner is saying that O'Neill sees this as a long term project and that he believes he can be in the seat 10 years from now.
Doesnt he know the Irish media?
He also plans to try and bring the likes of Ryan McLoughlin into the fold.
Ha, Christ! I can see any good will NI fans had reserved for O'Neill quickly evaporating.
I'm assuming this is the piece to which you're referring?: http://www.irishexaminer.com/breakin...al-612004.html
C'mon, tricky; we're a dream team now. If your heedless impulses had been keeping up with this thread instead of off setting up one of your superfluous sister threads, you'd have noticed that AB made that joke two full days ago!Originally Posted by Tony Leen
Dion Fanning also saying O'Neill sees this as a long term thing.
Danny will post the link!
I thought this was a mad wind-up when I first heard. But I've come round to the idea in a 'it's just so crazy, it just might work' sort of way. It certainly isn't boring.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
