'The ownership of clubs in England, the arrival of these countries, Qatar, Saudi Arabia. I don’t feel it’s been that good for the game to be honest.' Liam Brady 'not in love with the game anymore'.
Brady, 67, provided analysis for the national broadcaster for the last time yesterday for Ireland’s 3-0 win against Gibraltar.
“I like watching it and watching the best players. But all the things that surround it are not really for me. “A lot was made of that statement. And I’m sorry if it sounded disrespectful to the players. The players are giving their all,” Brady said. “But we used to have five or six players of top class quality. They’re just not there anymore. The future for Ireland is a bit of a worry.
Brady lamented the departure of RTÉ’s more outspoken sports pundits, and said that the punditry he did alongside Eamon Dunphy and John Giles, with Bill O’Herlihy as anchor, would probably not be possible to do today.
