Reganovski

He's finally got a job! How much a year I wonder? Best of luck to him.

Hope he takes Tony Cascarino with him so I don't have to see him every 5 minutes telling me Ronaldos the best player in the world.

Bit of an odd place to go not taking into account the money side of things

I always thought that club was Egyptian for some reason. No doubt Dave will have all the cliches at the ready.

Al Ahly is the Egyptian club I think....it rings a bell, a lot of the 1990 side that played Ireland would have been playing for that club. Perhaps thats what put it in O'Learys head :pac:

This is Cannavaro's new club isn't it?

Thanx 4 The Fish

Yeah, he has joined O'Leary there. Would imagine there is a lot of money in that move for both men.

This must be for the money right ?

Otherwise I couldnt see O'Leary heading over there.

Always amazed how he hasnt gotten back in the premiership.

I am actually kind of surprised he never got another job.

You'd think the natural progression after Leeds or Villa would be like, maybe relegation battle team or a Championship team?

Bit of a step down from Marcello Lippi, who they first offered the job to. :pac:

Rino Gattuso could be joining Dave and Canna over there.
