Stephen Bradley, manager of Shamrock Rovers, criticizes Heimir Hallgrímsson, the Ireland national team manager, for suggesting that League of Ireland players may need to leave to have a chance at playing for Ireland. Bradley finds Hallgrímsson's comments disrespectful to the League of Ireland and its players.
Stephen Bradley has slammed Ireland boss Heimir Hallgrímsson for what he described as “disrespectful” comments about the League of Ireland.
The Icelander said at the time: “ easier to pick them if they are playing regularly before the national team comes together, but I’m pretty sure a lot of teams in Europe are watching them, ‘who are these guys’ going this far, doing this good in the tournament’. “We have got an international manager telling my players to leave to have a chance to play for Ireland,” blasted Bradley.
“His comments on our players moving to give themselves a chance to play for the Ireland team are absolutely ridiculous. It is so out of touch with what we need, it is incredible,” he said.“We are trying to grow a league and entice players to stay here long, and improve on every aspect. And I am talking about everyone up and down the country, from volunteers to everyone who puts everything into it.
