Also word going round he going back to the view if a certain pet shop owner doesn't take tha view job....

[deadly man]

Also word going round he going back to the view if a certain pet shop owner doesn't take tha view job....
Imagine they gave the job to Bennis,the club would collapse,no one would sign for him
Young O Donnell or the pet shop owner would be popular choices i would say
Cant see Connie vacating his post with the Pikeys,top manager aswell as the 2 mentioned above

[hotspur]

Did pet shop boy not turn down the view job?heard he did.what has he actually won anyway as a manager?just curious.

[Minesapint]

Bennis has been offered the fairview post Aidan ryan turned it down.

[prawnsandwich2]

Bennis has been offered the fairview post Aidan ryan turned it down.

no one has been appointed to the fairview job yet.

The committee won't give bennis the job...... Eddie hickey has turned his back joining him as joint manager...Interesting few weeks ahead for the view..... 13th of june and no manager in place......other clubs already organising pre-season for the last week in june/first week in july

What has Eddie Hickey ever achieved as a manager? Has he ever even managed a team? I hear they lost a good man in Mike Considine to Geraldines to train the team, a very good appointment for Geraldines and a loss to Fairview.

[Fairkop]

think hickey managed down the divisions can not remember what team though.who is mike considine?did he manage the fairview B team?

mike considine has been training underage teams in fairview for a number of years.
along with sean hehir...both of whom have contributed much to fairview underage set up...

[onetrickpony]

I heard corbally have asked Eddie to take them over and that they were just waitin on his answer back.

Eddie Hickey managed Hill Celtic when they were prem,and he also assisted Dave Connell at Galway Utd,Eddie knows his stuff don't you worry about that.and a gentleman to boot,

Mike Considine and Sean Hehir are both quality trainers, they know the game inside out, and are gents also.

They trained Star last season for a period and it was no coincidence that we got our best results while they were on board, which resulted in us staying up.

Mike trained Granville for a while this season and again they got results while he was there.........this is a great appointment by The Dines and they will reap the benefits from it.

agree on all counts

He also managed Shelbourne when they were in 1A or 1B, he was also involved with Castle Rovers.

Genuinely nice bloke and has an indepth knowledge of the game.

Forgot about Shelbourne,Dermot Finnan back in the fairview post I believe,any truth prawn??

[prawnsandwich2]

dermot finnan has been confirmed as the new manager of fairview.
that is a great boost for the club.
as we all know,rumours abound about players leaving etc.
think this appointment may sway anyone thinking of leaving to stay(and may also attract players)
there is a good committee in fairview,who are doing a lot of work both on the teams side of things,and also to the grounds itself.
think people may be pleasantly surprised when they see the place for the start of next season.
congrats to the committee and best wishes to dermot

16th of june...manager in place.
that was a quick three days:D

Soccer in this town has changed since dermot was last in charge.

that is quiet true( a lot of it for the worse)
but you would have to agree that he is a great appointment.
he still attending an awful lot of matches over the few years,so he would have a fair idea of who's who,not just with fairview i might add.
i would say that a lot of clubs would be delighted,as fairview are,to have him

Yep excellent manager but unless the club are prepared to give him funds to tempt top players to the club it will be a fight for 3rd while boro and pike fight it out for the title. AS you said a few players might change there mind about leaving who knows.

How did he feel about being 3rd choice for manager?

[prawnsandwich2]

How did he feel about being 3rd choice for manager?

people were approached to see if they were interested in the job...
it was also advertised and others applied for it.
some people said for various reasons that they could not take it on.
dermot got the job..
hope that answers your snide comment(as you are someone who probably knows what it is like to be third choice)

another little dig?

[js79]

Good to see Dermot back in the view hot seat,,,

[Fairkop]

its great to see dermot back.come on then tell us all who were 1st and 2nd choice?

[dirtfree]

i thought dermot would have went back to park/shannon hibs now that they are back in the big time :D

[foot2]

Great to see dermot back...... The good times will be back for them but it'll take a year or 2... To answer your question Fairkop only 1 applied for the job offically... 2 others were asked with 1 asked several times, .... they made a good appointment with finnan........Some people at over 40's today not so happy, but to all the begrudgers, we will be back.

Dermot Finnin doesn't manage without €€€€,everyone knows that but so what he's dead right,just curious when was last time fairview won a league,I'd say Finnin was in charge not sure though,hadn't he a stint with janesboro as well,for nothing as well of course and Park for nothing and was he in Tipp as well??

it's finnan,and yes he was the last person to win a league as far as i know.
he did manage in those places(peake villa in tipp).
as far as your comment about money,every manager is entitled to expenses to cover phone bills travel etc. and that's what he will get.
but to say that he came back to fairview for the money shows that you know nothing about the man or the club

[prawnsandwich2]

if you read the post above you would understand.
fairview approached a few people(dermot included) to see if they would be interested in the job.
they also had advertised it,with some other people applying through that channel.
of the few people who were approached(all highly respected soccer people),they declined for various reasons.
the committee then,after interviewing several candidates,appointed dermot to the position.
so to say that he was third choice is incorrect.
hope this now puts the matter to bed once and for all

Where did I say he went back for money???what I said was he doesn't manage for nothing to which he is quiet right because it can be very expensive,and I know Dermot a lot more than you think,and good luck to him,you're always on the defensive for some reason or other and apparently you have nothing at all got to do with fairview,so stop talking balderdash for a change.

yep,PRAWN is often on the defensive and why wouldn,t he be given the frothy,suggestive posting that 2 or 3 posters carry on with on these forums.

why bother respond?

[mrman]

weldone to Fairview on their first bit of silverware, winning the over 40's, may it be the first of many for this season.

[js79]

weldone to Fairview on their first bit of silverware, winning the over 40's, may it be the first of many for this season. Dermot is back with the view a couple of days and the won a trophy already.ha,ha,

Maybe he'll sign a few of them,who knows,was the st michaels lads playing again this year??

[van der wheil]

Dermot was a fantastic manager and its great to see him back involved with the club but i can't help feeling its in the wrong capacity. He should be there is some kind of committee role in my opinion. The game has progressed an awful lot since he last managed and his knowledge of young talent around Limerick must surely be questionable. Also worth noting that he inherited more or less the best team in town in his first stint from Gerry Flynn and that's not knocking his unmatched achievements but this time he inherits a team miles behind the 2 best teams in town. Hopefully he comes in and does an outstanding job but the sceptic in me thinks different.

[hotspur]

its great to see dermot back.come on then tell us all who were 1st and 2nd choice?

Ray O'Halloran was one of them,don't know if he was 1st or 2nd,maybe prawn does???????

[van der wheil]

It's common knowledge that both Paul O Donnell and Aidan Ryan were approached about the job.

So was Ray O'Halloran van.that's a fact.

[leather]

Lads, Dermot finnan is the manager...lets move on... best of luck to Dermot in tenure....

[js79]

Well said leather.

[theboywonder8]

Be very surprised if Ray took the Fairview job,that's if he was even approached in the 1st place.Good luck to Dermot,has a bit of work to do though to have view back challenging for honours,
