After sticking with him during the bad run the timing is interesting.

Stupid timing. Should have been done months ago or not at all.
Was it based on last night's match? We played alright.
Hegarty in charge till the end of the season, presumably with Eddie McCallion as coach is fine, but not happy with this.
Of note, Tommy Breslin left Cliftonville earlier today.

Ah balls, was hoping he would be still there for th rest of the season. Last thing we need is the Derry lads to get a boost from a change of management.

Seems a bit harsh, this could backfire big time as the team could spiral downwards and quickly too.

Derry fans seem to feel the downward spiral has been underway for quite some time.

Ermmm we have spiralled downward. People seem to forget he has been our manager for 16 months now, had the start of the season and July to change things and still we're 3 points off bottom of the league. Its no coincidence our form has picked up since Paul Hegarty has come in. Pizza will always be a legend as a player at Derry City, but a manager he is not

He was doing a great job too, was hoping he would still be at the club for rest of the season so that the Harps could sink his ass.

David Jefferies must be nailed on favourite for the job.

Would Tommy Breslin be at all interested?

Well that's true, but I don't think I would have a made a change at this stage in the season, Id have focused on staying up then take stock.
The guy coming in has 6 games, and a lot of players to lift, going to be a very tough task.

Doubt it - a lot of talk on Irish League Forums that the primary reason for leaving Cliftonville is a promotion in the day job. Therefore can't see running training in Derry and travelling to Dublin and beyond on a Friday as working for him.

More ridiculous comments from our chairman regarding Dublin.
Completely ignoring the fact that the best two teams in the country aren't from Dublin, one of whom is managed by someone who lives 15 minutes from the Brandywell, and that not that long ago Sligo were doing well (with non-Sligo managers).
Pathetic excuses for actions of our board.

Were the comments about Dublin removed?
Is that the right link? I don't see anything about Dublin.

The Dublin comment/excuse is in this RTÉ article: https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2015/0916/728206-derry-city-hutton/
All we can do is appoint the best candidate from the people that apply. We haven't had a lot of choice in terms of numbers. We've interviewed the applicants and made our best choice and they haven't really worked out.
We get a very small number of applicants any time we do have a vacant managerial position. Derry City is not that attractive a place. Irish football in general is very much Dublin-focused.
Some mad stuff coming out from there recently. The thing about moving a game when only a few days away from it and then lamenting there were no alternative times anyway was bizarre and this just adds to the poor impression, even if what he said was largely true.
I find it hard to believe there are not a lot of applications when the Derry job is available- they may not all be big names of course but LOI jobs always attract a lot of interest.
Edit- (because it has to be said) Clearly Derry are being Ridden Rock Solid by Dublin.

If there's a crowd worse than the Black and Tans it's that shower above in Dublin
The timing is no coincidence, there are 58 days left of the season, people without the correct badges are allowed 60 days in charge

Anybody done the "No Defunder" in a Paisley like voice as a Hutton prematch team talk? ok i shall move on. Its hard to be cut-throat when there is a club legend at the helm and there are few Derry fans who wouldn't see Hutton as a total Derry City legend, apart from his judas spell at Shels. Declan Devine in hindsight had the club in touch in the league before falling off in the final league round. Then the Roddy experiment Hegarty will be the 10th manager in 9-10 seasons but is skewed a bit by SK being there for 3 years In that period Derry have had 3 Dubs (Kenny twice), and a Scots in charge. A solid Irish League appointment during the close season possibly
Who? Anybody specific in mind?
Paul Hegarty given it till the end of the season, hence why the timing is explained

What an stupid decision, biggest problem in Derry is a lack of Striker, I don't know why Elding, C Morrison or Quigley didn't and aren't working. Could be the coach, However last weeks he seemed to have found the key with this new formations and Timlin used as striker etc. Drogheda result was undeserved. Team was looking well, specially at the back, now playing with fire.
This would only make sense if all this ideas that have worked were Hegarty's ideas, that's something we will not know.

Can't comment on the rest but from recent experience Quigley is finished at Loi level.

Quigley has the skill but no application while the other two just aren't good enough.

Slightly hijacking this thread as I dont think it is worth starting a new one just yet and due to the source - little piece in the sun that Fenlon has been earmarked for a move to Celtic as an academy coach or director or something.

Makes sense given his history of success with bringing young players through his clubs.......
Hope this is bullsh1t ?! hope even more that Derry don't even....:)

Walk away Derry.
I'd be surprised if Kanchelskis even knew where Derry was :rolleyes:

If Derry have to have a stint in the Riverside it might make it a little more palatable to the locals. What about all the connections he'd have and the players he could bring in from former clubs 'n all:rolleyes:
