In from 33/1 to 6/1.
Another who is praised for his 'attention to detail' and 'unique' training sessions. |  | | |  |

I wouldn't peak too soon. Read somewhere that if you put "who is the closest direct replacement for Kieran McKenna as a manager" into AI, it spits out Barry-Murphy.
It's possible, given that a couple of hundred quid can shift manager markets, it might be that a few did that last night and lumped on.
Or.....
It could be that his tactical profile is reminiscent of someone else......
https://footballbunsekicom.com
"Brian Barry-Murphy implements a possession-based, "total football" style of play heavily influenced by Pep Guardiola and positional play principles. His tactical approach emphasizes fluid movement, technical bravery in deep build-up, and quick vertical passing into the attacking third.
His tactical blueprint features several hallmark principles:
Controlled Build-up: He encourages defenders and goalkeepers to be incredibly confident and calm on the ball. Players are expected to play through high-pressing opponents using overloads and short split passes rather than simply clearing the ball.
Positional Fluidity: He relies on fluid movement where wingers are often instructed to drift inside, and central defenders or midfielders push up into the half-spaces to break opposition lines.
Width: His teams maintain wide players high up the pitch to stretch the opponent's defensive line, create 2v1 advantages on the flanks, and isolate fullbacks.
Pragmatic Directness: While deeply rooted in possession, he remains highly flexible. He encourages players to recognize when a high-pressing, man-to-man team can be bypassed with quick, direct passes in behind the line to exploit immediate space." [Post edited 11 Jun 12:28]

I mean that description is pretty generic and applies to almost every manager in world football atm. |  |

Paul Daniels as assistant?  |
I think Debbie McGee was the assistant. |  |

He is absolutely out of reach for us at the moment |
What about Colin Healy instead then? |  |

Wonder if we'd look at someone like Robin van Persie or even Kjetil Knutsen. To stay up we are going to need a little magic from somewhere now. |
Knutsen would be a yes from me. Not sure if he's attainable though? | | | |

Keno had a similar dilemma regarding Jenna Coleman. | |

Paul Daniels as assistant? |
Penn and Teller as joint managers.
As long as Teller doesn't do the Team Talks we'll be fine. | | | |

The more I read about him the more similar to KM he sounds. Worth a look. | | | |

For the love of everything ever not Gary O Neil. Please. [Post edited 11 Jun 14:46]

Talk about a risk .. presumably that would be the first time anyone has made the jump from League One to the Premier League? |
Think Paul Ince did when he went from MK to Blackburn |  |

Jack Ross maybe, he seemed to be the answer at one stage.
Bring back all the Paul's, why the hell not. | | | |

Brian has a very similar personality to McKenna. Very easy going guy and he doesn’t do bs. His playing style is also similar.
His father is actually one of the most well know people in Ireland. One of the greatest GAA hurling players of all time. Just said I’d add that bit of trivia 😃 |  | | |

Think the Walford job is more attractive than the Watford gig. |  |
