Hibs have a vacancy this week and SK managed in SPL before, long time ago mind, he might also want to see what other interest there is in UK at L1 / L2 , but he wasn't even close to the Aberdeen job when that last came up a few months back.Originally Posted by wonder88
Could still end up at Pats, but he might be also thinking that rules him out of any other UK job and there will be dozens of positions there to be filled during the summer, its an odd one, almost too good for LOI but not good enough (in UK clubs eyes) for over there, I remember reading Lincoln City fans were not too happy with the link in 2023.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Giles was also manager of the Irish team at the same time - and a successful manager at that (given the players available and the corruption that cost Ireland two qualifications during his tenure).
Nowhere are Giles and Kenny in the same league as managers - in fact there is a massive gulf between them. I'd love to see what the likes of Giles or Liam Touhy could have done with the current squad.
His failure at Dunfermline will always count against him in Scotland.
Always feel that such a false narrative. They were goosed financially and still got them to a cup final.
Giles was in fact player-manager at Rovers and for Ireland - so he picked himself for the international team. It was never questioned - he was still a class player, albeit a bit slower and crankier. He did well at West Brom, getting promotion from the old Second Division and finishing an impressive seventh in the First Division the following season.
Anois teacht an Earraigh / Beidh an lá dúl chun shíneadh,

king gone from dundalk already
Obviously if there’s genuinely a serious medical issue you wish him well but at the same time it’s hard not to believe he just packed it in,seriously embarrassing times for Dundalk though…..
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Seemingly it was down to health issues, that's been confirmed by a few now, and I`m genuinely sorry for him.
He should never have been asked to take it, nor should he have accepted it, but he did.
That said, there is a chance now to get a more suitable candidate and to work with new joins in July, and to have a chance of keeping us up, still a huge ask as a lot more damage can be done between now and then.

Don't think anyone saw that. There are a gazillion rumours. Doolin in and maybe people should be careful what they wish for. The talk of assistant managers that are arguably stronger than the manager. Strange stuff. Garts being ousted was being called for timing is interesting.
King was on a hiding to nothing, saw the writing on the wall?
Seen Ainscough was tweeting abuse to a fan and then deleted it swiftly. Not really helping his cause and just further makes the club look like an absolute basket case at the moment.
"go F@@@ yourself u **** head" from the owner is exactly what id want to see if i was a sponsor considering supporting Dundalk.
He must have a very thin skin, you cant be picking twitter fights as a Club owner.
The tweet he was responding to was from a fan (i preume) responding to the NK departure by saying "time to pick up the phone and beg the real King" not exactly hurling abuse at BA. unless there is history i amnt aware of
Thin skin I guess you mean. As in, hyper sensitive to a simple fans suggestion
Mad stuff by Ainsworth. While he seems to be doing good stuff off the pitch. The King appointment and the ****show that's followed, the argument in Drogheda and now this on X are very worrying. Coming across as a bit of a headcase, who thinks he knows best and won't listen to advice. Recipe for disaster. Fully expect him to hire Buckley
So who's in the running to be Ainscough's next hire... Roddy, Keely, Sean Connor, Steve Staunton??
The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
Dermot Keely anyone?
This season is great.
21 leagues and 25 cups.
What an utter farce of a football club.
A barstoolers wet dream when it comes to discussing the merits or otherwise of the League of Ireland.
F"ck them their small minds are already made up. As a LOI fan this is the soap opera stuff that makes the league
We'll have to agree to disagree then outspoken.
For me it's a really bad look for the league , albeit the comedy value of a club who 6 yrs ago were cash rich ,boasting a title winning team and self proclaimed best loi manager ever, are now melting like fallen snow in may. Good enough for them.
Cork will at least offer the opportunity of raincover for away fans next season, which should be the bare minimum for ground facilities in a league striving to get better and be taken seriously by the hoi polloi of irish football fans.
Shamrock Rovers- Where trophies are won and envy is scarce
I don't think Cork City are in any position to be feeling smug. The club. With the self proclaimed best support in the country once again in the First Division and only recently back in a stadium they were locked out of as they don't own it. This time last year it was their owner making the headlines.
