[DmanDmythDledge]

Just read it on the Rovers forum.

I'd heard this was coming at the weekend from an ex-Rovers source. He seems to have been correct. I wonder if Alan Mathews' name might be in the frame there?. An ex-Rovers player and fan and rumour has it he's looking to head back to Dublin.

Bit out of the blue this one, will wait to hear the reasons although judging by the rovers forum it appears to be amicable.

[Bohemian1890]

Sad to see him go:(Sean Connor or Doolin to get it:)

[jebus]

What's the reason for this? I thought he was a good manager to be honest

[dfx-]

Kinda inevitable.

[mypost]

What's the chances, thread will get shifted out to our forum?

According to the rovers forum he wanted a longer contract, club didnt offer didnt meet his request so they parted company. Ammicably.

Not really, he's threatened to quit before. His constant busts ups didn't help him.

Done well on a limited budget, I'd imagine Rovers will be looking to kick on in Tallaght

[sonofstan]

Paul Cook, I'd be willing to bet.

Paul Cook, I'd be willing to bet.

He probably would too.

There will surely be a que for this, i can imaging the Rodster licking his lips.

[Dodge]

My money would be on Doolin

[Longfordian]

According to the person I heard the initial rumour from, as I say ex-Rovers, he's an extremely narky individual who had a poor relationship with most of the directors there. His example was "if he needed ten training balls he wouldn't ask the club 'can you get me ten training balls'?. He'd say 'you better get me ten f***ing training balls by Friday or I'm out of here' ". Judging by the amount of people he's fallen out with he can't be easy to get along with. Paul Cook would be a good appointment for Rovers alright.

Aren't Rovers one of those clubs with sense though?

[blackholesun]

Officially gone!

Don't believe the hype...

Id hate to see that baldy p0x managing us! Did nothing at UCD and burned money at Drogs to win the league, neither impresses me!

Paul Cook would be a good appointment for Rovers alright.he said that he would not go to another loi club.

[Longfordian]

he said that he would not go to another loi club.

Managers and players always say things like that, I don't believe a word of it.

[Dodge]

he said that he would not go to another loi club.

Ah bless...

Even Roderick...eh..no, maybe even Roderick could've called this one.

[Tis-smeee]

Bit of talk down this way that it could be Cronin , im a worried blue

[gael353]

id be a worried hoop if he turned up lumping balls up and down Tallaght. Scully to Dundalk if Gill doesnt get them up

[5ForKeeps]

Its a shock, he has done well with Rovers and the now defunct Kilkenny City. Wonder where his next destination will be. As for your new boss don't be suprised if its Roddy Collins.

There is more chance of me waking up in the morning with Kelly Brook and Cheryl Cole in the bed beside me than Roddy Collins taking over Rovers again :rolleyes:

[happydays97]

I'd say Sean Connor will be the new manager :ball:

Kevin Hunt.

[Bohemian1890]

David Jeffrey,Sean Connor,or Doolin who else would be mad enough to take them over??

[eamo1]

Maybe Paul Cook or even Jeff Kenna too.If we(galway utd) stay up and been in 2 cup semi's then he should get manager of the year and it wont be long before a bigger club comes looking for him id say.Plays a lovely brand of football too.I dont want to see him go though.Maybe Cronin but my money is on Cook going from Sligo.

...Who Will Be The Next Permanent Shamrock Rovers Manager (William Hill Bet) ...5-1 Pat Doolin...
That's Paul's balder brother, right?

[sligoman]

Paul Cook would be a good appointment for Rovers alright.Yes, he was definitely a good appointment for Rovers. What's that got to do with Shamrock though?

Paul Cook was rumoured to have signed a pre-contract with Shams months ago. Scully's departure was obvious.

i like kerrs odds:D
richardson or connor id say, could possibly see scully going to cork, as hard as it is to say, he would be great there:o , never really rated matthews and will be surprised if he is at cork next year,

[Terry]

Tony Cousins !

[Mr Maroon]

9-1 John Aldridge? wtf? There's a bigger chance of my dog being appointed than him....
and I don't have a dog

[cheech]

Damien Richardson would be the obvious choice.

Think Cook would thrive at Rovers though.

That is a bit churlish of you and after he took his legends team to play in Galway for free ;)

[WoodquayBoy]

For the love of God Rovers, don't undo all your good work in the last few years, on and off the pitch, by appointing a certain 10/1 shot

[Billy-Green]

I think Scully going can only be good for us,

Rice will defo stay now, and we will have our pick of managers.
Who wouldn't want to manage a team heading for a brand new stadium, one of the best young teams in the league, great fan base and a solid structure running the club.

[Inside Man]

Paul Cook would be a good appointment for Rovers alright.

My opinion would be yous can have him.
Overrated imo. Has us playing great style of football indeed! However he lack's the killer instinct to put teams to the sword, and thats why he never made it in England imo. That is why so many times this year we have come so close but just not to come away with the result we deserve.
Thats my opinion. I know of a few who hold the same opinion. However those on here seem to rate him very highly so a bit of a word on the other side of the fence was needed.



Think Cook would thrive at Rovers though.

A bit of pressure from boardroom and you'll see a different manager, and thats what Shams brings ye. I couldn't see him thrive now.

[blackholesun]

Kenna for manger of the year,lol.

No Cook.

Bookies love these sorta bets, get some wild speculation planted in the media and the favourite changes by the day and they mop up the money.

Very ominious (or however you spell it) that they are not offering odds on Cook.

[Billy-Green]

Just got shifted, and hear is me thinking that this is important news

[SMorgan]

he said that he would not go to another loi club.

was before he found out that the club is broke?

i think doolin will certainly be parting company with the Drogs.

[redobit]

Cant see paul Cook taking the job. He has mentioned in the past that he cant see the point in having a full time manager with a mainly part time team.

[Magicme]

Scully to Dundalk if Gill doesnt get them up

As soon as I heard the news last night that was my thought whether Gill can get them up or not!

[GuisaSaigon]

Rovers should definitely go for Cousins:rolleyes:
