Robinson 'not surprised' by Healy's Shelbourne links
· Yahoo Sports
Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson says he believes Linfield boss David Healy "definitely has the potential of stepping up in the managerial world" amid reports linking him with the vacant Shelbourne job.
Healy has been at the helm at the Blues since 2015, winning six league titles, two Irish Cups and four League Cups over his decade in charge, but has reportedly held talks with the League of Ireland club about replacing Joey O'Brien, who was sacked in June.

The former Northern Ireland striker did not speak to the media after Linfield's 2-0 friendly defeat against the Dons at Windsor Park, but Robinson believes Healy is ready for the next step following his trophy-laden spell at the Blues should he decide to move onto pastures new.
"Linfield fans won't thank me for saying this but I believe David definitely has the potential of stepping up in the managerial world," he told BBC Sport NI.
"He has done brilliantly here winning every trophy going so I'm not surprised about the rumours surrounding his future."
Shelbourne begin their European campaign with a Uefa Conference League tie on Thursday 23 July and ironically, they will play against either Nomme Kalju or Healy's Linfield.
The Estonians have a slender 1-0 advantage heading into the second leg in Belfast on Thursday.
