I'd never heard of this guy and assumed he was a local MSL manager or something. Wish he was.
On the City website,they said that they have recieved over 15 applications for the job.

Its all Chinese whispers Martinho, i couldn't tell you really.
City really do have to take stock, sit back and knock the expectation on the head, its actually not helping our situation at the moment i think. Stuart Ashton should actually be a natural successor to the position. Aside from him having a brilliant record while at the club, people will always say he has no league of Ireland experience but if we needed to have a guy take the position from a selection of inexperienced managers then he'd be the best without doubt. Having him know a huge pool of players is an unbelievable bonus for him as well.
That said, it could be someone else tomorrow.

Yeah. He only took charge of one competetive game against Bray Wanderers in the last game of the previous season.

He walked before the season even started, am i right?He was in the dug out for one competitive game, last game of the 2006 season Vs. Bray.
Was given free role with transfers and that in pre-season but was never officially given a contract. Think he left by mutual consent. Weird situation to say the least.
Glad he didn't stay because we wouldn't have Cook if he had. Not sure what sort of job he'd do with Cork, he stressed his desire to play 4-3-3 football with us, which seems weird to know yer exact formation before you've seen any players or what the teams are like.

I think McDonald had a major hand in our decision to go full-time, which ultimately put us in the position we were in this season.
He signed a lot of very questionable players for us, while forcing out players like O'Grady who couldn't commit to full-time (of course, he came back when McDonald left)
His playing and coaching career seems to also suggest that he can't/won't stick any job for very long.

He singed some great players for us though..Kevin Julian, Timoslave Acarba, Steve Manson ;)

He seems to have a good CV as well. Of the guys believed to be in the running, how many of them have their UEFA Badges?

They can't afford to pay the wages of the players they have/had and all their linked with is expensive managers with expensive wages.

Will the nightmare of the Arkaga experience and its aftermath ever end? Ive been a city supporter since the club was founded and I thought I had seen it all but the last year or so has just left me so down hearted. For the first time ever I even started to miss loads of games and only went now and again to the cross. And its not just city its the whole league.

If it were easy then everyone would be doing it ;) Heliodorus its compounded with all the doom and gloom of the recession. Off season is always bad. I wouldn't worry too much.
