Stephen Bradley has accused Heimir Hallgrimsson of showing a lack of respect to League of Ireland managers by failing to let them know about a proposed January camp for home-based players before speaking about it in the media – and the Shamrock Rovers boss has said he will not be allowing his players to take part in the ‘ridiculous’ plan if it goes ahead.
The double winning Hoops manager was shocked to read at the weekend that the concept was on the agenda again with Hallgrimsson – who had previously mentioned an idea that is popular in Nordic countries – indicating after the World Cup draw that it’s something he is looking to do in 2026.
