John Delaney was on Newstalk this morning to discuss the appointment of Martin O'Neill as Ireland manager with Roy Keane as his assistant. Delaney said that the duo would be unveiled this Saturday as he was no impediment to them inking the deals.
Here's how Twitter reacted to the news.

That Denis O'Brien's radio station gets to reveal Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane in harness no surprise. He who pays the FAI piper calls tune.

Last year, John Delaney instructed Roy Keane to 'get over himself' & alluded to Keane's hypocrisy. Hope @patkennynt asks him what's changed.

Martin O'Neill & Roy Keane (& Steve Guppy) is a bigger coup for the #FAI than Trapattoni was. Ireland games will sell out in blink of an eye

A useless stat for you all. O'Neill and Keane appointed 11 years to the day McCarthy resigned.
