Must be still waiting for Roy Keanes clearance.
I believe announcement tomorrow at 10 in the Markets Field.
Neil McDonald had a team
E I E I O
And on that team he had about a dozen passengers

With a Turner here and a Kenny there
Here a Coughlan there a Brouder
Everywhere an O'Connor
Etc etc.
Could be Watson aswell I suppose but doesn't scan aswell.
Maybe "Watson's team are cat" to the tune of "What's new pussycat"
Its neil mcdonald he is the manager

Absolute delighted with that
Great stuff, the Sam Allardyce connection is a funny coincidence, which I'm sure much will be made of. Hopefully should see a decent crowd on Friday for first home match
Bio says he has been no2 a lot (granted at a high level) and got relegated in his one manager job. Maybe there are bits missing, but hardly anything to get too excited about, especially after 6 or 7 weeks. What's his football like?
Has had 3 managerial jobs got Carlisle to what was there best finish in 20 years at the time and took some Scandinavian team near the end of the season and kept them up, Blackpool a complete mess too when he took over he had 6 senior players.Originally Posted by fieldofmarkets
Good question what kinda formation does he play etc etc
On paper this is an excellent short term appointment........on paper.
Why just short term?
Have yet to see an english manager/coach stay here longer than a year or two,this manager has excellent pedigree,experience....only a matter of time before he goes back hopefully leaving us in good shape..while he obviously wants to manage in his own right ,the offer for instance of a quality no.2 job in England etc wont be turned down.
But to open that door, he will have to have done well here, there's a lot riding on this for him too, but is a stepping stone job for him you'd imagine. These guys will have an eye on MON getting the NI job from Rovers etc, but if he gets us a Europa group stage run out he will be welcome to his walk off into the sunset.
Ya hadn't thought of that spot on tbf.
He seems to be held in high regard by some very good managers and clubs so you have to be happy with this appointment. Obviously most of us haven't a clue what way he will have us set up but he is in the game a long time so you'd expect us to be hard to beat at a minimum. Hopefully he can come in and light a bit of a fire under the team. At the moment we are not playing as well as we could be but are still mid-table. I wouldn't worry too much about us being a stepping stone because if you want to move across and get a very good job you will have to have us performing. Failing in the LOI wouldn't look great from an english football perspective.
Had a gander at a few Blackpool fan forums, man, they did not think well of McDonald when he left. The complaints - overspending on bad players, tactical naivety, terrible fan/press relations - do give me a bit of pause, but then again Blackpool are a team that have had nearly ten managers in 5 years, so there's a deeper rot there. Carlisle fans a good bit more complimentary, there was some kind of falling out with ownership there after a decent first season in charge.

Falling out with ownership....that's a relief, no chance of that happening here.
Group Stage!!!! I'd be thrilled with a first round run out. Almost 35 years since I (or anyone else) saw Limerick in Europe.
Dude, I'm happy bobbling along in mid table for a bit after the things I've seen here in those 35 yearsBut lets face it, Dundalk were a mess as big as us not too long ago & any kind European ball would be something special. And the league is open, you don't need to be particularly good to get a European spot, consistency will get you it. What that means when you come up against a European side though is a different matter ..
