Sheasy Steadies The Ship, Salivating City, Gavin The Redeemer
Nearly 100 days on from the announcement that Stephen Kenny’s time as Republic of Ireland manager was up, we finally have a successor… on an interim basis for the March friendlies against Belgium & Switzerland. We digest the news and speculate on what might happen if things go well for John O’Shea, and the heat this appointment takes off the FAI.
