http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/eircom-league/st-pats-quiet--on-kerr-exit-speculation-1379576.html St Pat's quiet on Kerr exit speculationMonday May 19 2008 ST PATRICK'S Athletic closed ranks yesterday as speculation mounted that Brian Kerr is parting company with the club. A Sunday report suggested that Kerr is on the verge of walking out and confirmation yesterday that the former Ireland manager addressed the team in the dressing room after their 2-2 draw with Drogheda at United Park on Friday night further fuelled speculation. Kerr was appointed Director of Football by the club director and owner Garrett Kelleher in March of last year. |

Which do you reckon would hurt more for Kerr; leaving Pats? or been snubbed for the Carlsberg ad?

http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2008/0519/kerrb.html Kerr quits St Pat's postMonday, 19 May 2008 21:31Brian Kerr has resigned from his role as director of football at St Patrick's Athletic. Kerr will remain as an advisor to the Inchicore club until the end of the season. The former Republic of Ireland manager wished the eircom League of Ireland Premier Division leaders well for the future. 'My affinity with and affection for this club is well known,' Kerr told the official club website. 'St Patrick's will always be special to me and I believe that Johnny McDonnell has now got a squad that can achieve great success over the coming seasons. 'I have greatly enjoyed being involved and working with Johnny to get us to the point where we can look ahead with great confidence. 'Last year's second place finish in the league was pleasing. I believe the club will go one better this season. 'I want to thank Garrett Kelleher and the board of the club, the staff, the players and the fans for their support of me over the past 15 months and I wish them continued success.' Saints chairman Garrett Kelleher thanked Kerr, saying: 'We are grateful to have had someone of Brian's experience available to us and I want to thank him for his contribution.' |

That's a very odd story innit? That "Director of Football" situation never seems to work in any situation and I'd say Johnny McDonnell was very uncomfortable having the former Irish Gaffer over your shoulder. The statement from Kelleher doesn't exactly go out of its way to laud Kerr, so there musta been some tension.

Much ado about nothing really.
You'll notice there was no clamouring for Kerr to stay at Inchicore. |
