Next manager

It was Canham who brought in Kerr (not O'Shea) for the two friendlies already played. And now Kerr is out (for whatever reason). That looks to me like O'Shea realizes he has a stronger hand this time around. No "minder" needed. He could get lucky in the next two friendlies but the Swiss game showed O'Shea up badly. Tactically naive and the substitutions looked timed rather than reflective of how the game was panning out.  Expect a lot of PR stuff and ex players/journos bigging O'Shea up for the next month or so.

As much as you see ones on here not wanting O'Shea getting the role, you'll find a lot more saying to give him the job on other platforms.

Especially if there is 2x decent performance in June.

I wouldn't be putting anything on a FAI decision! They're playing a waiting game with plan B 2.0.

The fact Canham brought in Kerr to oversee the interim team might be an indicator of where we will end up ie  O'Shea but with a "minder" other than Kerr. Especially if the next two friendlies are similar to the last two friendlies. Canham is still calling the shots and I very much doubt he or the rest of FAI honchos have a Scooby how to recruit a manager they don't already know. It will either be O'Shea as manager or assistant manager. With the "minder" as either manager or assistant manager. It will depend on the profile of whoever they bring onboard..
