Kenna resigns fron the Saint

[LukeO]

Or more accurately - add City to the above list to get clubs who have never been relegated.

More accurately? They're both equally accurate. And something can't be more accurate than something that is accurate, surely?

[kdjaC]

Heard Kenny name being mentioned quite a lot.


Kenna wasnt great but tbh the players didnt help, showing up only for Europe....wonder what the bonuses are for that.

Rico was sitting near me at the game on tuesday........

[Infadel]

Is Rico not semi-retired? the only job that would probably interest him would be if the Rovers job became available.

[Flexy]

Stranger things have happened.......

Wont be back if hegarty gets the Derry job, we have muppets on the board, stephen McCarron WHO!!!!!!!!!!!

[Martinho II]

I heard that Pats have been talking to Kenny over the past fortnight to take the job for next season, presumably the loss to Waterford fast forwarded the decision for both Kenna and Pats.

it would be a good move for kenny.. Dont forget before he managed us he was pats under 21 coach and was a great success for them.. He has a great feeling for the club and will be a success..

accuracy is not an exact science.

Don't think anyone doubts Kenny will be back managing in Dublin sometime in the future, if not next season, then somewhere in the short-medium term future. I would have always said he'd want the Rovers job when/if it comes up but I'm sure he'd fancy the challenge at Richmond Park too. As someone above said, I think Rico would only be interested in Tallagh also.

Oddly enough, Kenna was on Setanta last night doing analysis of the EL games and spoke quite a lot about Pat and the league in Europe. Odd that he must have known then he was walking just a few hours later.

Kenny said he's going nowhere according to todays Journal

DERRY CITY boss, Stephen Kenny, has totally dismissed speculation that he had been approached by another League of Ireland club in relation to moving away from the Brandywell at the end of the current season.

Staying Put!

Haha the same thing occured to me

"heard" his no 2 is already picked will manage us till the end of the season. And kenny will have the same budget as kenna/Sadlier had ie 1.2 million.

not sure on that as we actually made money this year and with no Europe next season we wont make it.

Rumour/conjecture/hearsay etc:

how come maurice o driscoll was in charge of st pats tonight? thought john carroll was the assistant manager or did he leave as well with kenna??

Mo is A team manager and Cyril Walsh was his assitant tonight. not sure if Carroll was even there.

Your guess is as good as mine tbh. I like Carroll knows his stuff but he has an issue with Angry who i also "heard" is in the running for the managers job.

Pats will have to tighten the purse strings next year, their crowds are woefull,so they could do a lot worse than take Gormo and Osam back into the fold and develope the younger sides .

People pay to be entertained, trust me there has been a lack of that this season other than the Euro games. Like anyone thats successful or living off a novelty factor fans will go to games. We have had them before, we are a weird exception we actually do have fans they just choose not to go. Would not argue with anyone who says " not paying to watch that ****e".
t
We have a very very good squad imo better than Bohs or Rovers, 5 off tonights starting 11 won a league, yet we close to being relegated

Granted all but 2 are out off contract but in this league a decent manager could put together a very good team for buttons next season. And if we have 1.2 million of those buttons imo thats 500k more than whats needed.

[sheao]

No real suprise hear to be honest, the loss to Waterford was the nail in the coffin in affect. WIll be interesting to see who will get the job at Pats now. Sadlier would want to a appoint a strong charcter of a manager if they want to ensure premier league survival.

Really ?!?

Who did you go on to manage...?

Pats do seem to struggle with crowds more than the other 'big' Dublin clubs to be fair, and always have (in recent memory anyway).

There is no way Pats have a better squad than Bohs, and most probably not better than Rovers either. That said, you should be doing better than you have been.
