What do Blues fans think of his contribution while at the club?

I for one am sorry to see him leave, but understand why he did. people will talk about the mistakes he made, but a young manager at 30/31 is going to make mistakes. it was summed up pretty good on our forum:

"Without an assistant manager, without money and travelling back and forth from Dublin several times a week he kept us in a promotion race that most managers, in the circumstances, wouldn't have kept us near. The man continually battled against the most begrudging county in Ireland and made a good fist of a very difficult job".

he'll definately go on to better things, word of him getting the Rovers job next year, where i think he would do great.
