Sean Connor

[CSFShels]

Surely Greenock Morton is a step down from Dundalk though?

[LeixlipRed]

In fairness to him, when we beat you 3-0 in Tolka at the start of the season I though he'd be gone in 2 weeks but he's turned it around and brought you to a comfortable position in the table. There's no doubting the man is a ****** but he does something right. What that is who the hell knows?

most definitley remember wat derry did to gretna and sure elfsbourg beat hibs 3-0 a year or two ago and then pats beat them so i'd say irish league top teams would be competitive in the spl bar the old firm

T
Even when things are going well on the pitch people still have cause to dislike him

It is not a case of dislike! More like not being sure who is responsible for turning round our poor early season form - Connor or Miller?

Glad he was here but glad hes gone if that makes any sense!!Out of interest what do Dundalk fans reckon the majority would be for him to stay or go??

Go!! In my opinion...

Thanks again for your replies. It's looking like he might get the job.

I would not be to nervous and would take what is posted on this mb with a pinch of salt stubroon,if there was a thread on here about pele 80% of the posts would be negative.He has done a grand job at Dundalk and would do the same for you.Best of luck.

So it looks as if he is taking the Morton job then.Thanks for keeping us up Sean if true.I cant help but think that this could be a major blessing in disguise for Dundalk though.

What we need now if he goes is a level headed manager who is gonna put emphasis on the on the field side of things.

[shep]

Latest new is that Morton have delayed an announcement until next week.Sean Connor was at training today with Dundalk and rumour has it that he is negotiations with the Dundalk board re next years contract/budget.

Mick Cooke Only joking!!! I really dont know,someone who can run a tight ship if needs be.Alan Matthews is prob a good example of that sort of manager.I was hoping things would have went a bit smoother than they have under Sean Connor and there would have been a bit of continuity,but its all up in the air at the minute.

i'd say mattherw would jump at the chance to manage a vaguley stable club after his last 3 jobs

[Ezeikial]

Speculation on who will replace Connor is premature.

Grenock Morton do not appear to have offered the job to him at this point. The press reports from Scotland may be more got to do with putting additional pressure on levering their preferred choice, Allan Moore, from his current contract.

Even if Grenock Morton offered him the job, it is not certain he will take it. Similarly if they do not offer him the job, at this point it is not certain that Dundalk will agree a contract extension. There is a bit of a Mexican stand-off here, but from what I understand Dundalk will not be deflected from their position and negotiations by anything that is reported about Grenock Morton

as for DA REAL ROVER'S comments on sean connors not finding any talent for sligo rovers correct me if im wrong but did he not find former sligo rover now everton right back Seamus Coleman and i no im not wrong because im a member from the club which seamus was signed from

It was actually our assistant Gerry Carr, who spoted Seamie's talent (a well known fact)

sean connors was seeing a girl from seamie's home town killybegs and spent alot of time about there (he is now living there and trains the gaa team this past 2 yrs) when he was about kilybegs he heard about seamie so organised a friendly to see him play....

[Rovers1]

Did he tell you that himself loi?

The message is loud and clear.

Sean Connor did nothing for Sligo Rovers, he broke up the youth structure, ran people out of the club, signed all the bad players, Cassidy and Carr signed the good ones, failed to get the best out of any player, and was a bluffer and spoofer.

The First Division win was a fluke, achieved on a budget similar to Real Madrid. Fifth place in the premier the following year was a disaster.

Oh and everyone in Sligo was delighted that he left and weren't the slighest bit miffed about it all.

Big bad Seanie

[oriel]

You have a point there Ezeikial, I`m 50/50 on SC, I have a real problem with his lack of discipline and I dont like the way he mouths off, but almost securing us 5th place in the PD and having done this for Sligo, both achieved first year promoted for each club is a very decent effort by the man, it has to be said.

[roversforever]

How could he not keep dundalk in the premier division with the calibre of player they have?Chrissy turner is the best midfielder in the league in my opinion. He has no contacts for players,most of his dundalk players are former sligo rovers or bohs players. And trust me its not for their love of seanie that most of them followed him to dundalk. And similarly anybody could have kept srfc in the premier when you consider we had liam burns,gavin peers,adam hughes,conor o'grady,faz,chrissy turner,harpal singh,darren mansaram,seamie coleman, etc. I know most of the players that played for him during his sligo rovers reign and i've yet to meet one who has a good word to say about him..not one. One player who no longer plays in this country even said to me that rob mcdonald was a better manager than him and thats saying something. It still annoys me that he's made so much money from football when all he's qualified in is PR but i suppose thats sligo rovers fault for giving him his break. The bohs fans couldn't understand what we were on about first and now they agree with us,dundalk fans will be the same. And Da Real Rover is 100% it was gerry cassidy who found ,ost of those players. Anyway i hope for their own sakes the poor fools don't give him the job.
