Has left his role as first team coach with Stoke to focus fully on his role with Ireland.

Like Steve Staunton he lacks the required aggression for management.

If he's smart he'll wait a bit before jumping into management, especially at a club like Reading right now.

I wouldn't pay too much attention to that. They'll be waiting until the end of the season to see how Hunty gets on, see if they stay up, see who is available etc.

Depends where that talk is coming from though - That was said a lot by people close to Reading when he started coaching there so isn't always just plucked out of nowhere.

Apart from the length of time it took to get someone on board, I think it's an encouraging appointment. From a career perspective, our current players can only dream of having the playing career he had. He knows the players in the underage structures. He's gone about his coaching career without much fuss (unlike Duff or Keane for example).And what's the point in having former players getting a pro-license and a few years coaching experience if they can't be promoted from within.
I always laugh at the "he seems well regarded as a coach". This gets said about any coach that ever gets linked.

Unless you’re a serial monster, I don’t know why anyone would have a moan over this appointment. I remember reading before that o shea is very well thought of as a coach and was tipped to be a manager when playing at United. Has played at highest level, seems like a decent chap, has earned his stripes in the background at smaller clubs and with Ireland under 21s - worth a shot. Best of luck to him, hope it goes well

In response, I'll repost mine and others comments from the Kenny thread
I agree, but I dont think it does any harm either. Josh strikes me as a hard working professional who has now been given a chance to take the next step up in his coaching career. I think he is a good appointment and nobody will question his commitment to the Irish set up. Barry seemed to do a good job for a limited amount of time and then jumped ship (I do think, given the limited amount of time coaches get to work with international players, that Barry's contribution may have been slightly over exaggerated by those seeking to minimise Kenny's own contribution to the cause, but that's an argument for another day). |

I'm in different about the appointment. On one hand we could do with a good defensive coach to get the defense more organised and stop leaking the silly goals like we have. Someone one that help us see out games and hold onto the result when we go ahead. On the other, I'm not too sure O'Shea has the attributes or influence to help out too much elsewhere on the field. We need someone to manage and coach the set pieces better and someone with a bit more tactical knowledge to know where and when to make changes. Kenny and Andrews on their own have always been slow to react IMO and have made some strange calls when they have. I dunno, just seems like they went with the safe option / plan B after Barry fell through again.

4 years experience now with Reading, Stoke and the U21s. Got his Pro Licence last year, so entirely qualified for the role. I dont know this myself, but somebody mentioned in the Kenny thread that he was well thought of at Reading. Strikes me as a good hard working pro who will be entirely committed to the cause.
