Steve Staunton a manager? You are being very kind there!

**pineapple stu** · 02/08/2015, 11:12 AM

Sure didn't he tell us himself?

Who's the gaffer?

I'm the gaffer!

Who's the ginger lunatic, that's a goal machine with those free kicks?
Stan hey, damn right

Who is the man that would risk his neck
For his brother Irishmen?
Stan hey, can you dig it?

Who's the cat that won't resign
When we're losing all the time?
Stan hey, right on

They said this cat Stan is a bad Gaffer
Shut your mouth
But I'm talkin' 'bout Stan hey.
Then we can dig it

Surprised he didn't do better at Rovers at Pat's tbh - maybe it's just a case of he works better with some managers.

Interesting to see if he gets a run partnering McMillan up front - the two of them got 47 league goals in two seasons together at UCD.

Dundalk only play one up front, so unless he takes off a MF man off if we are chasing a game, I can't see us playing 2 up top. I can see McMillan being rested now for a few games as he started every single league match along with Europe. Kilduff looks like he will be a very good signing.

"Kilduff looks like he will be a very good signing".

i'd give it a few weeks before deciding, if i was you...

Fair comment

If he does turn out to be a good signing, he will follow a long line of players that Kenny has signed in recent seasons who were far from outstanding at previous clubs

Why so?

Id still liked to see him in our underage set up in the future. Too experienced and respected not to bring a lot to the table, especially for younger players.

I'd have thought that he'd be an interesting and welcome addition to the LoI managerial merry-go-round for the reasons given red and that every ounce of flair hasnt been coached out of him.

**Dodge** · 04/08/2015, 10:29 AM

He's definitely interesting. None of us have any idea if he can coach

But there's no denying he's interesting

Good a reason as any - what are we supposed to do now #bestleagueintheworld or something?

Though something tells me what is interesting mightn't be all football..
