    I'm realistic. Expectations at Galway are far too high.

    You're not realistic, you're all-knowing as usual. As I outlined to you, we finished above three clubs this season, two of those are amateur clubs and the other slashed their budget significantly. We have three and four times those clubs budgets and we crashed out of both Cups (The FAI Cup in the first round), if you feel that's a good return, then your barometer for realism is off, but that was already clear anyway.

    You continue to talk about the situation like you know more than Galway United fans do, we watch the players every week and know what's happening at the club believe it or not. I think we may possibly have a better gauge on the situation at our own club than you, who is looking in from the outside. Once again you proved how clueless you are when you said it was "insanity" to sack him, it's pointless to argue with that level of stupidity, but carry on anyways.

    We were going only one way under him - 3rd in First Division and promotion; to 10th in Premier Division and a first domestic final appearance in 20 years; to 9th in Premier Division. Yes, we were going only 1 way. In two of the three years in the FAI Cup we were drawn against Dundalk.

    And this year we were drawn against Bohemians, who underachieved and were weak for most of the year, and we failed miserably against them (and also finished behind them) and went out on a whimper just like Limerick in the League Cup, where he chose to rest players when we would have had a good chance of winning with our best eleven fielded.

    10th to 9th with an improved squad and bigger budget, I suppose you would have been satisfied with 8th next year and reaching the second round of the Cup?

    I can totally get the galway fans saying he'd taken them as far as he could go, having lived through pat scully and the current boss. (I don't think galways team is much better than lower midtable in the prem but whatever they've seen them more than I have)

    But... Erm...Shane Keegan??

    Doesn't exactly scream ambition.

    I'm going to say there's a lot more to the off the field stuff some of the galway fans have alluded to.

    Can someone start a few rumours quick, I'm in work?

    Im sure there are development plans for the club and Keegan might be the correct choice ,from next season as well as U19 the club will have to develop u17 & 15 squads according to the fai licencing ,and the chages been imposed by FAi in local underage set ups this will be a big development in the club going forward and Galway soccer in general .

    Not all gufc fans are happy with whats gone on at the club before and after the very harsh sacking of Tommy Dunne. 3 years ago we had no club and in the 5 year plan we were well ahead of schedule. Player power is what cost Tommy his job and this is a very dangerous thing to give into the players should have been faced down and the manager should have been backed. The team performances since have been the worst since we came back into the league especially away against Wexford.

    Micky Adams was approached by the club twice so Shane was at the very best 3rd choice.

    We had 2 fantastic seasons under Tommy and some people might try and bad mouth him but the majority of gufc fans were not happy with the way he was treated.

    No more nor more less than you do.
    There is an obvious split between those who believe the club was right to sack Dunne to those who think it was wrong.

    My opinion is my own, I never spoke for anyone else in my posts on this issue or came out with sweeping statements like the "majority" thought it was harsh or not harsh to sack him. It just shows how blinded he is to come out blaming the big bad players for everything and poor oul Tommy had nothing to do with our poor season at all. At least I acknowledged the players part in it and I'm looking forward to a clear out of the deadwood.

    Tony Cousins turned down a return to Galway to focus on driving his taxi.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    I never claimed to speak for any Galway fans. I think the decision makers at Galway have made a rash decision. I may or may not be proved right or wrong in time.

    if Shane Keegan is confirmed will he be Galway Utds marketing manager? I am not convinced on this at all. Wexfords season collapsed over the last few months of the season and were just about better than us .Their goal against record was one better than us!
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    I'd say Galway fans are buzzing with excitement at the imminent appointment of Shane Keegan.

    Will he bring Lee Chin on a "play when I'm arsed" deal?
