Martin O'Neill...

He got well paid for his time with Ireland and was successful in getting to the euros. Unless some generous billionaire offers to pay all his wages he ain't coming back. No way he would even consider the money that Kenny is on.  Shameful. Celtic fan stabs legendary manager in the back. You're worse than those ingrates in Dunfermline.

This is excellent from MONs press liaison during the last two years of his Ireland gig. Has no time for MONs suggestion that he was treated as an outsider....

There was no agenda aside from a manager on an enormous salary, overseeing a behind the scenes meltdown and several on pitch disasters. Attempting to reframe that as 'taking no sh*te from journalists with agendas' is utterly hilarious. He was a good manager for a time and I wouldnt dare denigrate his achievements like many other people do in their attempt to pretend Kenny is good, but his conduct and our performances in his last year were just embarrassing.  When he writes a book where several excerpts mean the book would be more fitting in the comedy and fiction section, expect people to challenge it.

Is that the Eoin Hand who beat Netherlands 2-1 in a WC qualifier? The same guy who beat France 3-2 in a WC qualifier? Him again beating Switzerland 3-0 in a WC qualifier? The same former Drumcondra icon who swept minnows Malta aside 8-0 and Iceland 0-3 in Euros? Is that the Eoin of your query? You'll find him in the picturesque North Kerry town of Moyvane. He was last seen just down the road in Lizzy's Little Kitchen enjoying a skinny latte (with biscotti) in the company of two sloppy green-blazer types who looked like they could handle a dinner or three. Probably just a chat about John Egan. I mean, what in the name of jazus would Eoin Hand know?   As you are going down the road of resurrecting previous manager to take over. Suggesting Eoin Hand is as pointless of talking about Martin O'Neill.

Read his autobiography.   Poor read like many footballers autobiographies.   No insight into Clough or Taylor and just breezes through the interesting parts of his career.  Literally only gave Ireland a few pages and discusses nothing of any interest.  No game plans or his tactical thoughts on how we beat Germany or Italy.  Nothing.  More a ''we beat Italy and then played France only to lose out 2-1 but what a great achievement it was for us.  The End.''

Does every chapter end with ‘ needless to say I had the last laugh ‘
