Is his Mrs a doctor here ??
He had moved over to Scotland with the family but there were rumours that he/they missed Ireland. He seems like a home bird type of chap. He had some quotes a couple of years back that hinted at a real old school mindset. Youngsters are soft, you can’t say anything to them, we do double sessions at 7am at Shamrock Rovers to toughen them up etc. But there were more recent reports that he’s actually a very good coach. Yer man Gavin Cooney had an article on the 42 about him.
He is a good guy

Ireland a much bigger job than Celtic. Good decision by duffer.
It’s a lot less pressure
Celtic in a one horse race. What pressure?
The fans are more passionate
Failure to achieve
It’s basically impossible not to achieve mate
Doing well in Europe
Crushing the Huns
Ah come on mate. Joke of a league.
The champions league?
They got knocked out by no marks in Europe and got outplayed by Sevco in most of their games and the fans are still delighted
They wernt
There was a lot of anger at the time
Ireland in a euro’s or world cup is in a different stratosphere to Celtic at home to Hamilton.
If Celtic were losing at home to Hamilton the atmosphere would have more bile
Listen mate , apart from LOI fans Irish sports fans aren’t that into it
So you would think their is more pressure managing Celtic v Hamilton over Ireland playing in a world cup?
John Barnes managed that at Celtic.
That was when their only competition was still alive
Celtic have been winning titles selling off their best players year on year and not reinvesting it back into the playing side.
Sevco have been throwing money they don’t have and putting up huge debt trying to win titles.
You generally have to spend more in a shorter space of time when you’re a new club
