Healy could be a really good appointment.

Hed be more than a really good appointment,  I  really hope he'll come to us

He’s won leagues, he’s won cups, he’s managed in Europe, scored a winner against England and a hatrick against Spain. Could be a very astute appointment, if we can pull it off.

Belfast Telegraph saying we've asked Linfield permission to speak to David Healy

Northern Irish managers tend to do no bad at the ol san starko. Definitely my favourite of all the rumours so far....

Except Thierry Henry obviously!

Que a fanfare of the Pointer Sisters 

 

I'm so excited............... make it happen

If you're not winning leagues and cups at Linfield as a manager then you're doing something very wrong indeed. 

Certainly struggled a bit since Larne got some investment pumped in, but an interesting name nonetheless.

Is it not Stuart Baxter?

It's been a while right enough.

Interesting, I'm sure I saw him somewhere this week saying he wasn't interested in the PNE job, so didn't think anymore about him.

Edited- Found the link - Linfield boss David Healy denies link to vacant Preston job – The Irish News

He obviously had a tip off that Rovers were sniffing about him and that's why he batted Preston away. Can't be any other reason.

To be fair, Magiltons cheerleader also suggested Healy a good few pages back. 

Both are a bloody good shout, nothing wrong an outside view. Better than the Largs contingent.

I know very little about the Northern Irish leagues but it looks like they hadn’t won if the three season before he came in there, which I can only read as a good sign.

Larne have won it the last two seasons, which is Linfield's longest run without a league win in 10 years.

Are they not owned by some rich American?

Fan owned I believe,  but could be wrong on that

One of their biggest signings appears to have been Andy Winter from Hamilton, so not sure they're that rich

A 64% win ratio at Linfield, thats pretty good, even if they're the Northern Irish equivalent of Rangers. 

They're the only full-time team in the league unless Larne have maybe gone that way?

Pretty sure they chucked a relatively decent sum to get Andy Ryan in too.

I wanted Zidane, but I’d take Henry at a push.

[pub car king]

Zizou will be disappointed
