Sean Connor finds someone that will employ him... but you'll never guess where!

[SkStu]

What a money grabbing spazmotron.... I hope he never gets another job in football.

Best wishes, Steve Bruce...

I assume they were talking US dollars in the story. If they're talking Zimbabwean dollars, Connor's salary of 4000 a month works out at about £6.91!

£6.91 is about all he should be paid

[Charlie Darwin]

£6.91 is about all he should be paid
With a margin of error of around £6.91.

He has a girlfriend in Zimbabwe??? :cool:

Great read.

Chacha! Brilliant. I like how his agent calls him a bitter man without seeing the other connotations of that statement.

[Longfordian]

I know times are hard but to turn to destitution..seriously? I mean who'd even pay him to do that? What would his mother think?

[wonder88]

Great story, what interesting times Connors is having in Africa. You have to remember that the Bohs board were desperate to get this guy in as their manager only a few short years ago. Are those people still involved in running things at Dalymount. Dundalk and Galway both in their wisdom also hired him. He told those who were paying his wages in Galway that there were unprofessional and that the next job he would get would be with professional football people, It looks like he has at last found soccer people, down in Africa of all places, who seem to be able to make a reasonable judgement of character. Also I understood that Seanie had a girlfriend in Killybegs, maybe she went out to Africe with him.
By the way Connor's time in Galway only contributed in a very small way, if any to the sorry state we are in now, but his employment only indicated how badly run Galway Utd was.

Sure if I remember correctly, he got a substantial pay-rise behind GUST's back when they were trying to steady the ship. That was nowhere near the stupidest thing that was done.

People are saying just desserts and all that, but he's probably going to come out of this with his money or a substantial portion of it.

[Park_Lane]

Poke fun at the man all yous want, its poor Chacha I feel sorry for :D

[eL Bettor]

Will it be Chacha or Cha-ching for Connor? Stay tuned!

[Nesta99]

He has a girlfriend in Zimbabwe??? :cool:

Donegal, Dundalk and Zimbabwe - not surprised he is destitute?

Sure when he wins the lottery in africa we can all contribute to release the funds from his bank account - letters on the way to Dalymount, Oriel, and Terryland

[Spudulika]

In fairness it is not a nice situation for anyone to find themselves in, regardless of their past. Should get good old Stevie McG onto the job, he and Mr. G would sort out the situation!

[Mr A]

Apparently Mr Connor has been reduced to crashing in other people's homes. He is considering coming out of Oscar Pistorius's bathroom now, but Oscar's girlfriend is dead against it.

PLEASE KINDLY PARDON ME FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE

Good Day,

Please, kindly pardon me for any inconvenience this letter may cost you because I know it may come to you as a surprise as we'have no previous correspondence.

I got your contact as i was searching for helping hand in your country , this is why I decided to appeal to you directly for assistance because the embassy has ignored my pleas.

I am a football manager who has been relieved from his post. It has defiled all forms of legal and moral evaluation, as I have been unfairly treated by those who know little of my talent or hard work.

Before my expulsion I had a foreign account set-up in south Africa up to the tune of $6.5million united state dollar which I told the bank was for the importation of multi-coloured bibs and footballs.

I want you to do me a favour to receive this funds to a safe account in your country or any safer place as the beneficiary.

For your assistance, I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have 5% of the money for your assistance, and helping my family investing this funds, or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Which ever the option you want, please do notify me in your reply.

I have plans to do investment in your country, into football clubs such as Galway City FC.This is my reason for writing to you. Please if you are willing to assist me, indicate your interest in replying soonest.

Thanks and best regards .
Mr S Connor

And now we know why....I just posted this in Ireland forum...


Coleman named Evertons Player of the Month for March. Well done Seamie!

http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/2013/04/18/coleman-collects-monthly-award

In other news, on his player page, his sponsor is one Sean Connor....it couldn't be, could it....?

http://www.evertonfc.com/player-profile/seamus-coleman

[Olander]

Yes. Sean Connor has sponsored him every year since he's been at Everton I heard.

[bluemovie]

And now he's apparently thrown his hat into the ring for the Blues job!!!!

[avvenalaf]

Make more sense if he threw his ring into the hat.

[gufcfan]

Waterford fans have suffered enough.

[NeverFeltBetter]

I'd imagine Waterford would be more in line to pick up someone like Pat Scully.

[gufc2000]

No end to this man's talents it seems

Chris Turner, Darren Mansaram, Harpal Singh and Michael McGinlay all due to sign for Killybegs in time for the final

[wonder88]

First I have heard of this. Good chance this game will be on tg4 on sunday; so all Sean's fans can look in. I am sure he would also be interested in the Finn Harps job so a win on sunday will further enhance his cv. Come to think of it the Galway FC/SD job will be available as well.

[nigel-harps1954]

Has apparently applied for harps job already.

[disgruntled]

As long as he doesn't end up in Cork I don't care where he goes :mad:

sad state of affairs for him. was he involved in football at all since his Galway Utd days?

[gufcfan]

I'm sure there's a certain irony somewhere that he was detected while he had his kids in the car. They were one of his big go-to defences when he was criticised.

Why didn't Seanie think of the children?

[gufcfan]

sad state of affairs for him. was he involved in football at all since his Galway Utd days?

He was barely involved in football when he was with us and I don't mean that in a "I wouldn't call that football" sort of a way, although that argument has certainly been made too.

[colonelwest]

Sure when he was ran out of Dundalk he left a bill of a couple of grand with several business around town unpaid. Also, this just reminded me of the time he was managing in Africa and the shenanigans that went on there! :D

[seand]

He was certainly a 'character'. Run out of Bohs too. The 2009 season at Dundalk under Connor was ludicrously entertaining, not always in a good way though

[disgruntled]

He represents everything that is wrong in football.

[Mr A]

I remember talking to one of the Harps directors involved in the manager appointment when Hutton left and they were saying he'd have been well in the running if they hadn't known some of his history and spoken to previous clubs. Came across brilliantly and had a great presentation. Seems like a man with issues TBH. Sad when it comes to this.

[Nesta99]

Cup final suits done up in April for one and a bunch of furniture for Oriel Park that was never Oriel Park bound, allegedly. He could certainly talk it, as himself a Joe Miller were sitting beside us in a pub up town one evening and he was the best of craic and interesting to listen to, though with hindsight a few of his stories were just that! He was very open about what he thought of other managers and players. He had some great ideas, that were sensible, so it is a pity that he let the rouge aspects of his character get in the way of his abilities.

[wonder88]

Two of his former clubs played a friendly tonight, 1-0 to Galway but the Sligo away kit was the winner for me. Bohs of course poached him from Sligo with an offer of a lucrative contract, which they had to pay up in full after sacking him(plus legal costs). Some of Connor's better results at Galway came against Bohs, especially a 3-2 home win that denied Pat Fenlon another LoI title, and gave Michael O' Neill his first (Paddy Madden missed a few that night).
I recall that Stephen O Donnell was sitting behind me in the stand that night, having had an operation to get him fit for a relegation play-off that Galway were due to play against Bray. Interesting how the careers of the five people I have mentioned have gone since. Also it is great to have LoI soccer back again and I was a bit surprised that there was 200 plus in Terryland tonight.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Game any good?

[wonder88]

Not bad, typical pre-season friendly but with more of an edge to it, especially in 2nd half. Better atmosphere than you would find at some League Cup games, help by having it on Friday and local rivals angle I suppose.

[ToberonaTornado]
