Got a phone call off one of my mates who is up in Oriel to say that Jim Gannon has resigned as Dundalk manger after Dundalks 10th draw in a row.

Sums up our season. Hopefully we can hold onto the likes of McCarthy, Kelly and Marney!

i'd say it may have something to do with next years budget and that he prob wanted a budget to enable dundalk to compete.

Actually he left to take over managing Stockport County ladies team which he has been flying over to do every Monday for a couple of weeks now but which we have only found out about in the last few days since he resigned. I don't even knew if others in the club knew he was at this. I think he is moving over there now. His reasons about leaving about budget issues were just a cover story for him. He had accepted this job before the resignations of Connolly and Baldwin last week. He called Dundalk FC unprofessional and him with his new job lined up all along?!? :mad:

In relation to what managers. Doesnt count for much if his budget was as huge as say mons or kikenny. But say the budget was as high as ours then that would be a very bad return indeed.

holidaysong- That's a tad disgraceful to hear. Better off with him gone if that's the type of carry on that was happening. Best of luck for next season. hope ye get someone decent in. Pat scully ??

Yeah better it happens now than closer to the start of next season. I would like to see Felix Healy myself, Pat Scully wouldn't be bad either. Of course I can dream of a Brian Kerr or Pat Dolan! :D

His budget was in the top 2 in the first division.

Slightly off-topic, but how did Thomas Morgan do this year? I thought he'd be too good for the First Division, but haven't heard anything about him so I doubt he set the division alight.

He wasn't that great at all to be honest. Gannon dropped him half way through the season although I think that was more to do with personal reasons..
