Liam Brady outlines real reason he is calling time on career as RTE pundit

Tonight marks the end of an era as one of the most recognisable faces among Irish football fans, Liam Brady, closes out his career as a pundit for RTE Sport.

Brady, 67, leaves as the last remaining member of the iconic RTE panel which was made up of Eamon Dunphy, John Giles and the late Bill O'Herlihy at the helm."I think things have changed with football now. I'm not in love with the game anymore. I like watching it and watching the players - the best players - but all the things that surround it, it's not really for me," Brady said on RTE Radio 1 this afternoon.

When asked if he'd completely fallen out of love with the game, Brady explained: "The outside of it, the business side of it, yes! It's huge now, it's a multi-billion euro business... The ownership of clubs in England, the arrival of these countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia, I don't think it's been that good for the game, to be honest."
