And the new Cork City Manager is......

[razor]

Just listening to TodayFM and that sports irritant from Tipp was saying that Neil O'Riordan has a piece in todays Irish Scum that Billy Morgan was offered the Cork City job.

He'd be cheaper than Jeff Kenna thats for sure. :D

[tiktok]

The rumours he'd been interviewed were circulating alright.

I think it'd be the single most stupid appointment in the history of CCFC, I wouldn't let him sprinkle holy water during Noelle's day off let alone manage a football team [proper football, not the pulling and dragging the GAA tries to pass off as such]. TC needs to let go of his 100% Cork obsession, next thing he'll be turning away supporters not born with sight of the Turner's Cross church steeple.

And that's saying something :D

I feel strongly about the issue :D

Slight edit.

[jimhacker]

And, people were wondering why I might have been a bit hesitant over buying season tickets!

[an_ceannaire]

Billy Morgan !!! :eek::D

Alan Matthews must feel so smug!!!

[an_ceannaire]

ok so he turned it down....but the fact they even offered it to him.....suffering jesus!!!

[Mr A]

Cork City are funny.

[passinginterest]

It's not April the 1st is it?

This Coughlan fella looks like he's turning into some joker.

[Dodge]

suffering jesus!!!

The exact phrase that suits this situation. Brilliant stuff.

I'm sick of telling people about how great this league is. You wouldn't get this in Serie A

[Boo_Boy]

Ahahaha

:D:D:D

[tiktok]

The only good thing to come out of the story is that he turned it down.
I used to think that CCFC was a soap opera, it's good that during the Christmas period we've turned into a panto.

[GuisaSaigon]

Ger Loughnane is free at the moment!

[gufct]

I actually knew this two days ago but wouldnt post it here because of the Jeff kenna situation and Mr. Coughlans next trick for all you CCFC fans is to approach the Boy Roy.

[joeSoap]

You gotta pity the fool who actually takes the job now....second choice to a GAA has been with absolutely NO experience at all....

[LeixlipRed]

Wtf??

[passerrby]

am not surprised i have met tom coughlan and get the impression he thinks corks soloutions can be found in the gaa

[joeSoap]

Yes..the Cork GAA...a very reputable establishment...

[noby]

If only Gerald McCarthy was available.

I actually knew this two minutes ago when I read it on the other Billy Morgan thread.

Id say he thought the appointment might encourage some of the GAA folk out to City.

And there was me thinking Harps board were mental, Coughlan is a nut job and will be looking to appoint Sean Óg next.

Emmerdale, Eastenders and Corrie combined couldn't hold a candle to the story lines in this league.

[Sam_Heggy]

In othr news, DJ Carey is to make the leap into Management with Kilkenny City FC.

[prince20]

If only Gerald McCarthy was available.


Whos to say he wont be?????????????????:D

I actually knew this three days ago but wouldn't post it here because of the Boy Roy situation that you also found out about after I did. I also knew how to get to Amarillo before Tony Christie even asked the question.

Ah stop, I love Tom Coughlan already. Keep it up Tommy. Hours of amusement in the off season.

[redobit]

TBH id didnt know who Billy Morgan was. but when I clicked the photo and seen 'Bainisteoir' wrote on his t-shirt I nearly wet meself

[jebus]

What the jesus is all this about?

:D:D

[exiled_gufc_fan]

You'd never know, maybe he watches Sunderland on the telly so knows something about soccert :D

[Larry 'da' Wyse]

Nah, that would be John Myler ex-Wexford hurling manager ;-)
Actually maybe it is between him and Teddy Holland for the role?

[rambler14]

Tom Coughlans a spoofer of the highest order!

[Red&White Rover]

Sweet jesus...

[Philly]

I work in Xtra Vision weekends. My manager is pretty good. No soccer experience at all mind you, but a good manager. Should she keep her phone on over the next few days in case?

Cork City are being run weirdly. Wonder what the players think of all this.

[pete]

We can do better than Billy Morgan. Mick O'Dwyer?

[Mick89]

If only Gerald McCarthy was available.

Gerald Keane is tho....:o

[pete]

You gotta pity the fool...

Is this you? :p

When did TNB discover the GAA? Always thought egg chasing was his first love? ;)

He's obviously modelling his approach on the Cork hurlers and heavily buying into the idea that there's no such thing as bad publicity.

Chip Shop merchant looks great now doesn't he?

[Captain2007]

Tom was seen in a restaurant with Nell McCafferty recently, could be a done deal!:)

[shefellover93]

I feel embarrassed as a City fan atm. Coughlan really seems like such an idealistic person, a GAA coach would never make the grade in soccer, too many formations, too much tactics and not enough shouting and throwing things, will TC see the Powerade ad and then sign the Munsterconnaught fella?:rolleyes:

EDIT: Try to sign the Munsterconnaught fella, even ur man knows what a bad idea it is to sign for us at this stage

He had as strong an LOI background in fairness.

Dave barry has always said that he was first and foremost a soccer player who played gaa and not as was widely reported a gaa player who played soccer.

He was one of the best LOI players of his time too.
