'If only FAI had vision and ambition to go after Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna'

And it’s not just their run of six Fermanagh senior county titles in a row with a run that started in the late 1990s.

But it is a fact that O’Shea has never been a manager. All his jobs in coaching so far have been in assistant roles. Before Rodgers, the last — and only — Irish FA Cup winning boss was Terry Neill with Arsenal in 1979. Lee Carsley was rightly seen as the main target when Stephen Kenny was removed from his post by the FAI.My understanding is that the FAI never talked to him, or many any kind of approach at all.

So he has done a miraculous job with Ipswich on a shoestring. He has made the whole far greater than the sum of the parts. That’s exactly what we want in a manager.
