I suspect that the sligo-based Villa ST holder that I've met on the way over to a number of games will be chuffed with this news. He goes to a fair few Rovers games as well.

and there's me moaning about the trip up to B6 from Cambridge for matches...
I know, I made the trip from Galway for half a season or so and that was enough for me! He's been doing it for years, don't know how he puts up with it, or affords it for that matter. You'd be surprised at the number of regular faces you see on the flight over.

During the question and answer session after the open training back in October he was saying he wasn't too fussed about getting back into management as he was about to become a father again and was enjoying his TV work. He did say he was enjoying going over to Ireland to do some of that TV work though. I think most Villa fans keep an eye out for the results of whoever he manages.

It's quite boggy in that part of Ireland so I hope his walking on water abilities are still in tact.

95/96 season will always be one of my fave seasons. I remember the only worry was Brian might get offered the England job and leave. Strange how things pan out career wise.

Good luck Brian , it is a shame it did not work out longer for him at Villa. I thought he was building something special

They're one of the stronger teams in the league, so hopefully he will be a success.

Best of luck to him.
I may have to make a trip to Turners Cross for their game v Cork City.

Hope Brian does well there. A new team to look out for. Where are Sligo Rovers from?

Sligo. It's in the west of Ireland.
