QuoteThey wouldn't take Fenlon. Gerry Armstrong has shown an interest in the 6counties job.
I wonder would a certain ex-manager slip back in? None particular in mine - but one from Richardson and Buckley would fit the bill.
Do you think O'Niell will take the job if offered?
Who could replace him at Shamrock Rovers?
Pat Fenlon

I'm sure if MO'N was offered it he would be gone like a shot and might be attractive to the IFA as (I think) he is out of contract in November. I also suspect Nutsey would land out in Tallaght with Heary replacing him at Dalymount (if there is a job there next seasonOriginally Posted by nr637
).
Now tomorrows Lotto munbers will be.........
I'd have thought Brian Kerr would be amongst the favourites, he's been publicly courting the IFA for months, but they've said today that they would prefer a Northerner, my money is on Dirty Sanchez. Buckley was in Oriel on Saturday, any chance he could take some of his financial backers with him, Spud?
NI would be mad to take on MON if they want to improve from where they are now
Eh why?
MOM has a very good record in Europe when playing as under dogs, which is what the Nordies are for most of their games!
Heed my advice - keep your money in your pocket.

Magilton is more likely to get the NI job than O'Neill but the two of them could go as a pair. Whether or not O'Neill gets the NI job it's looking more and more likely he is on his way out of the League of Ireland at the end of the year. If that does happen he will be a big loss. Most Rovers fans don't want Fenlon near the job either, the board will probably look outside the league again.
Just on O'Neill, it amazes me how many LOI fans don't rate him, he's been in the league 3 years and his achievements in that time are fantastic:
2009 - Arrives in Ireland with no previous knowledge of the league. Brings Gary Twigg and Craig Sives to the LOI. Has fourth highest budget in the league under a part time structure but manages to push big spending full time Bohs all the way in the league, just running out of steam at the end to finish 2nd.
2010 - Despite having many of his transfer targets signed by other clubs offering higher wages he wins the league for Rovers for first time in 16 years. Gets to the final of the FAI cup losing out on a double by a penalty shoot out. Secures one of the finest european results ever by an Irish team knocking out a strong Israeli team with a 1 nil victory over there.
2011 - Wins the Setanta cup. Secures Rovers first ever european cup tie win beating Estonian champions Flora Tallinn. Narrow loss to FC Copenhagen who were in last sixteen of champions league last season. Beat Partizan Belgrade to become first ever Irish club to qualify for group stages of a european competition, arguably the greatest achievement of any Irish club. With three games to go, in pole position to claim a second league title in a row.
Your Mum is rather kinky
Did well the year after promotion alright. Since then, there's a feeling (or at least, I think) that he's another Fenlon/Doolin of sorts - not doing as much as he should with the resources available to him.
Copenhagen outclassed you beating you home and away, but everything is very fair, he's done a good job, but his resources are as good as anybody else's. This little plucky Rovers line you're pulling there doesn't really add up. So many clubs are in a financial mess.
But as HulaHoop explained, part of the reason Rovers can offer better teams than other teams this year is that they didn't splurge on big contracts last year (or this year, really). Passing on Oman and Kilduff instead of trying to outbid Fingal kept the budget low enough that Finn could also be brought in at the last minute. The team has also played over 60 fixtures already this season, which is unprecedented in this league and would push any squad to its limits.
Now that made me LOL. QualityYour Mum is rather kinky
Not Brazil, what would ye think of Kerr for the job ? Think he could be a good appointment for ye. Gets a harder time than he deserves for his stint with the ROI.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
This might sound crazy, and believe me I am no great fan of the man but if it's to be a manager from the League of Ireland or Irish League I would take David Jeffrey. His record speaks for itself.
Say nothin til ya hear more!
Yeah, why not.
Sure I'll do it if they pay me enough..
Liam's doing what any out of work manager does - show up at a prospective employer showing interest. AFAIK the non-Irish part of the consortium have moved onto a decent sized club on the continent, though I'm not 100% sure on that. The Irish side of it is not involved in any club, though they might look at Dundalk, especially as one of them could be considered a relative local.
Good point being made about Brian Kerr, though I figure he'd want a big paycheque that might not go down well with the locals. And I don't know if he's the right man to take them on.
You mean most Rovers fans under 25.
False hope is worse than no hope. Ask Sligo.
I personally thought it was mainly Rovers fans that didn't rate him. Wasn't there a debate about ye not wanting to offer him a contract extension (which wasn't offered by your board either afaik)?
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
I think Brian Kerr would be a good appointment for us.
