Kerr doesn’t expect McCarthy and Kenny to ‘overplay hard ball’

Mick McCarthy: Never any doubt about his love for Ireland, says Kerr.

Brian Kerr has expressed the belief that, as “two sound people” who would both have “the interests of the game at heart”, Mick McCarthy and Stephen Kenny can agree a “sensible compromise” with the FAI to resolve Ireland’s managerial succession conundrum.

And the former Ireland manager suggests that, especially when the issue is viewed in the context of the worldwide upheaval caused by the coronavirus pandemic, there is “no embarrassment in changing what the rules were before all this started”.
