Our morons wouldn’t need to be asked twice to come on our pitch. In all seriousness though this could kinda work just not like this. Get someone in their 70s or 80s who have seen a lot over the decades to chat to the players at a training session to tell them first hand what the club means to them and the local area. The pep talk might work.
I firmly believe that if you're a good man manager, have a football brain and have played at a reasonable standard then you should be able to manage at any level. Duff has certainly got the playing pedigree and is a big name over here in the LOI. He's done well at Shelbourne to get them to where they are but there are big caveats for me. He seems to be a bit of a loose cannon and the standard and lack of depth in terms of serious competition in the league put a big question mark against his achievements in my eyes. He certainly wouldn't be my choice.
Save it for when we get Damien Duff. WE'VE GOT SUPER DAMIEN DUFFY. HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED. AN WHOLE NEW DEFENCE. A BOARD SPENDING MORE THAN A FEW PENCE. THAT'S HOW WE WILL WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
