THE GREEN SCENE: The Finneran future | Keane's Hungarian adventure | Tipping the Scales

He's very good and it's particularly one for the Celtic fans as well.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: The Finneran future | Keane's Hungarian adventure | Tipping the Scales

There's a lot of interesting stuff in there about the fact that they've not really been getting the best out of

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: The Finneran future | Keane's Hungarian adventure | Tipping the Scales

their academies which Darren O'Dea of course was involved with for a long time I think he was the manager of the B team for four years between 21 and 25 and there's a lot of Irish links in there as well of course with Rocco Vada being one of those players who never really got his chance Boston Wild again never really got his chance and then some interesting stuff as well but like I said Ben Doak as well leaving and going on for or Ben Gannon Doak going on leaving for Ireland

for some big money as well, obviously with Bournemouth now, so some good stuff in there on that and also about his kind of keenness to, he's been in touch and talks with the FAI and all that sort of stuff as well and how he's had some of the youth teams over with Celtic doing some coaching, player coaching development, all that sort of stuff and he does really seem like the type of fella who's going to be heavily involved like and is keen to help out which is important as well because we're not going to get to hear from Jeff Hendrick as well who was on off the ball breakfast yesterday and he was speaking about

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: The Finneran future | Keane's Hungarian adventure | Tipping the Scales

And he spoke about not really being able to talk to anyone about it and feeling as though if he was saying it to anyone.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: The Finneran future | Keane's Hungarian adventure | Tipping the Scales

his manager it could backfire on him and he might say well if you're not confident I'm not going to play I'm going to put someone else in and it's important for the likes of the younger players coming through that are going to be in these camps to have the older members of the staff with them as we're seeing with the Ireland game on Saturday you know you've got Darrow Shea there they're not older members but they're experienced as far as being in the camp goes and being able to talk to your teammates is one thing but also having figures like this in the way that Paddy McCarthy will be

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: The Finneran future | Keane's Hungarian adventure | Tipping the Scales

will be that for Ireland as well and Jim Crawford's going to be in with this camp as well Paddy McCarthy's probably actually not going to be here over the weekend is he?

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: The Finneran future | Keane's Hungarian adventure | Tipping the Scales

No he's not it'll be Jim Crawford like so but anyway just having figures like that there who've been there and done it are very important and not necessarily it's not on Darren O'Dea to give back to Ireland or give back to the FAI or give back to the sport of football in Ireland but if we can do it in such a way that we can make that happen then we obviously absolutely should so it's well worth going and checking out you can get it on your podcast feeds and YouTube channel and all that sort of stuff as well

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: The Finneran future | Keane's Hungarian adventure | Tipping the Scales

which like should realistically be nowhere near the relegation zone but Sunderland and Leeds have done very well in different ways Sunderland had a flying start Leeds had a flying finish and they've both invested Sunderland have invested heavily Leeds have invested not as heavily but

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: The Finneran future | Keane's Hungarian adventure | Tipping the Scales

Yeah, I'd probably stay away from England myself too.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: The Finneran future | Keane's Hungarian adventure | Tipping the Scales

But you mentioned the investment they're going to have to have.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: The Finneran future | Keane's Hungarian adventure | Tipping the Scales

I think they will have investment, obviously.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: The Finneran future | Keane's Hungarian adventure | Tipping the Scales

So if you are going to sign for Coventry, just be sure that you're going to be joining a team that's going to look vastly different to the one you're looking at right now.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: The Finneran future | Keane's Hungarian adventure | Tipping the Scales

And I'm sure, look, that kind of groundwork will be done.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: The Finneran future | Keane's Hungarian adventure | Tipping the Scales

And...

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: The Finneran future | Keane's Hungarian adventure | Tipping the Scales

Okay, listen, you never know how these things might work out, but I do think the move to Europe, as we've been saying, and everyone has sort of been saying, I say move to Europe, move to staying in Europe, staying on the continent, going to Germany or going to Spain or going to Portugal or wherever it may be, going to Italy.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: The Finneran future | Keane's Hungarian adventure | Tipping the Scales

I would sooner see him do that.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: The Finneran future | Keane's Hungarian adventure | Tipping the Scales

I don't think there's any great need for him to come to the Premier League, but I can imagine that he would be getting offered a lot more cash in the Premier League and that matters.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: The Finneran future | Keane's Hungarian adventure | Tipping the Scales

yeah I wish it was like I wish that's actually what it was I just kind of happened to book a trip to Valencia which obviously is not all that near Murcia but it's not a million miles away it's on the same patch of land being the Iberian continent yes so the peninsula which is of course notably small but no I'm yeah I'm going to Valencia for a few days so I'm going to make the trip down to Murcia on Saturday might as well so I'm looking forward to it yeah I'm looking forward to a bit of sun

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: The Finneran future | Keane's Hungarian adventure | Tipping the Scales

They look forward to seeing the Grenada squad.
