Is he in for the Dundalk job?

The Lilywhites

27/11/2008, 4:34 PM

Apparently so.

He probably mentioned Steve Bruce and setting up a joint academy with Wigan at his inteview.

That achievement wouldn't be good enough for the Dundalk Board though...

and brought some great players to the club....Most of which were recommended by a third party.

In fairness to Sean, he did sign Paul Brown:D

Who was the 3rd party, surely taking advice is not a bad thing in a manager?

Cassidy, he did sign Foy though and Coleman.

It would be very interesting to see how he would get on with Dundalk. I'd say he could get some decent players from the North.

And i think Burns?

27/11/2008, 5:14 PM

i wouldnt be sure if he'd be the man for Dundalk, but he'd do a decent job with a first div team.

Could of been the Port Vale connection, Connor would of been well in there having played for them!

He signed Faz and Brush for us I think.

Faz was definetly Cassidy, almost sure Brush was too

Did Brush not sign the season we got promoted as back up for O Hara ? fairly sure that it was Connor.

your kinda missing the point here i think SF4E:o

Yes, Conner was the manager when Brush signed for us, but, Gerry (not Tommy) Cassidy was the scout who was said to have informed Connor and Carr of Brush's talent and availability

Gerry Carr claims he signed Coleman...I'd believe him over Connor any day;)

Red&White Rover

27/11/2008, 6:24 PM

Connor to be fair, is a good manager and generally signs more decent players than he does bad one's.

However, he too often let's his massively inflated ego get in his way, and you can expect a lot of fallings out with players. Also ye're football will be dire.

Not to mention he is a very unloyal person, who if he's doing a decent job, will jump ship at the first given opportunity...

I thought he'd be going to Harps anyway...

Connor signed for the dole a few months back and that's the only signing that knacker should be let near.
Pat Scully is going to Dundalk. End of.

knacker in the dictionary means buyer of worn out horses for killing:p

Run away, run away. Seriously, he's poison. If both us and Sligo agree on something it must be true! ;)

Dont do it.
He'll destroy your youth system,
to aid the first team budget.
Then walk away at the first chance he gets.
All in it for himself.

Look at the amount of people he fell out with at Rovers and Bohs

Wouldn't touch him. Sure he just inherited a team built by the great Sean Connor

cook is over rated, he only got us to fourth as the teams around us got points deducted and he brought us to financial peril!!!

I read in the herald that Connor is suing bohs at the moment regarding his dismissal? Even if its not true:
He's a greedy little man.

Isn't it true that most Southport fans thought very little of Paul Cook?

Good point we`do have an excellent eye for a manager.

I honestly could not care how Connor gets on just think about Europe :)

Adds something to our Dundalk games now, can't wait to see the runt back in the Showgrounds again:).

I didn't think any club would be foolish enough to appoint Connor again.

08/12/2008, 5:05 PM

Thats funny because in these two threads all but a few of you thought he was a great manager and didnt want him to go.
If he gets us to the same level as he got yous and fecks off to another club i'll be more than happy.

To be fair to Sligoman and did not see too much there. Anyway no fans wants to see their manager walk out on them. I don't blame him for going to Bohs at the time but the way he went was very disrespectful and that more than anything is what got people's backs up. Looks like he can stilll talk bull though if he got a job bar Harps. Check up on his footballing career ;)

How long is his contract? Just the one year I hope because if it's much longer ye could be in trouble when it comes to buying it out.
