It's a shame..go to the flansiro a bit when it doesnt clash..love the set up and pitch there..think last game was cup V Bray and even then in a cup quater final it was a poor crowd compared to a few years ago...its a real pity..good club and if the town wants to keep it the should come out and support it.

Left due to the clubs inactivity? What does that mean exactly. Was he told he couldn't bring in players he wanted or something like that?

Mike Kerley maybe? Who else is out of a job who would be a candidate - Heggsy?

Always thought Cronin one of the most articulate and intelligent managers in the league. Hope we haven't seen the last of him.

That was my first thought but doubt he would be interested in First Division.
Does Cronin work in the Dublin area - something apart from football? I've seen him a few times in a suit around the Stephen's Green area

I think he works in a bank in Dublin, not 100% sure on that though. Never seen him in the Stephen's Green area myself and I'm there most days!

Yeah Gareth works somewhere in the Irish Life centre. He's an accountant.
That explains that. Yep I saw him twice recently, along the east side of the Green and then along that little road just off it, Merrion Row. I looked over as he passed by in a group the second time and I think he knew he'd been recognised by a LOI head!

Don't think he was under contract so can't be tapped up as we'd have been well within our rights to speak to him. Having said that, I don't think theres anything in that story.

Tony Cousins got appointed town manager just 25 mins ago.. Its just hot off the press!

Duno what to make of that appointment...dodgy?!

Nobody too's excited about it I don't think but sure we'll see how it goes. I wouldn't be too surprised if we find ourseves looking again in June or July. Hope he does the job well though obviously.

I got a text yesterday that he was in the running.I am shocked that the appointment was made quickly. The galway fans have posted about Tony Cousins before about their thoughts on him.. I am not sure what to make of it either .. Our ex manager Alan Gough was number two under him.. We played against Cousins when in the Premier Division.. I think he was poor at Kildare Co but I am prepared to give him a chance as the current no 2 Philip Coffey who worked under him in Galway stays and Derek Glynn who played under Cousins in Galway should stay..
I am prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt for the time being..

If he does leave it will probably be after we beat you, thats how most of your managers go.......:p
I like Tony Cousins and its good to see him back in the game. Hopefully he can make a go of it at Longford.
