Billy Walsh on Brian Cody
What Brian has done for Kilkenny over the past decade. He would remind you of Alex Ferguson in many ways. Those type of guys are role models for any sports because the same principles exist across a range of sports.
Billy Walsh on Jim McGuinness
He is meticulous and he very much works on the psychology side of things. Preparation, for him, was key so he left no stone un-turned on that side of things. The job he was doing was at a very high level of intensity - it takes a lot of commitment from everybody around you. To stay at that level for a number of years is very difficult so it is no wonder that he went in, did the business, tried to repeat it and then got out. It's a very difficult situation when it is a non-paying job.
Billy Walsh on Brendan Rodgers
He's struggling at the moment. He's been struggling for a while. I think he speaks well and sells his story well. But they haven't bought the players, and the quality, they should have and I don't think these lads are playing for him.
These are only my presumptions, and views, but I feel he is too quiet for his team.
Billy Walsh on Jose Mourinho
Jose is a character. What he does is take a lot of attention away from the team. The media focus on him and that enables his players to play. He seems to be a player's man - they seem to love him. His emotional intelligence around his team, and what they need, is very good. He takes all the flak in the media, entertains them and allows his team to focus on their game.Explore more on these topics:
