McDermott Rules Himself Out
Thursday, 12th Sep 2013 11:41

Leeds boss Brian McDermott has ruled himself out of the running for the Republic of Ireland manager’s job.

McDermott, whose parents are Irish, said he would like the role one day but not yet: “I feel I have been kind of adopted here at Leeds and I owe these supporters.

“The Ireland job is for the future for me. I owe this club and the supporters. I am 100% committed."

McDermott had been viewed as one of the frontrunners to succeed Giovanni Trapattoni, who left his job by mutual consent yesterday, along with with Martin O’Neill, Blues boss Mick McCarthy, former Town manager Roy Keane and Norwich's Chris Hughton.

McCarthy is due to hold his regular pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon.

All this, will he won't he, is not good for the fans or indeed the club, however, at the end of the day it will come down to MM and his family. As a town fan I would be very sorry to see him go, but would still wish him well for the future. He owes us nothing, in fact we "ITFC" owe him far more.... a lost cause last October before MM and TC arrived and worked their magic keeping us in the Championship with very little support from ME. We may not have had the start to the 2013/14 season some on here (including myself) were expecting, but, all the signs are there, it'll only take a couple of back to back wins and we're be on our way up the table. Anyway back to the issue in question, whatever the result of tomorrows announcement, lets get behind the boys on Saturday and stop worrying about something we have very little if any influence over.
