STEPHEN KENNY HAS labelled former Republic of Ireland international Ian Harte “an empty vessel” after he used a blog for a betting company to re-open old wounds about the Dubliner’s time as international boss.
Advertisement Harte, who is listed as a scout for the Sports Management International football agency on the company’s website, also used the blog to criticise Irish club for “killing lads’ chances” of moving to England. “Well, he is entitled to his viewpoint on that front. Obviously I wasn’t party to negotiations, that was dealt with by the club. For some reason, he wants to have a personal go at me, which… I’ve never met Ian Harte, I’ve never had a conversation with him, I’ve never come across him in any shape or form. I have met his uncle, Gary Kelly, a good few times and he is an absolute gentleman, a really impressive man,” Kenny said.“It was interesting, my very first game as manager was against Bulgaria.
“Now I’m thinking, I’m a year and a half out of the job and he wants to have a go… Stephen’s found his level. Why would he want to say that? What would be his motivation for wanting to bring me into the conversation? I find that strange.
