A statement on the club's official website continued: "DAFC will now take time to interview and appoint a new permanent head coach over the next few weeks.

"Stephen Kenny's record at Dunfermline included taking the team to two cup finals within a year of him arriving.

"Unfortunately, his league form - just eight wins in 39 league matches - led to him losing his managerial position.

"The heavy defeats, at home to Hamilton, away to bottom of the table Stirling Albion and then at home to Livingston led to the DAFC board to voice their support for their manager.

"Unfortunately for all concerned, the inability to change the outcome of results has meant that the club have now moved to replace him."

About as cold and clinical a statement as you can get. Not even a "We'd like to thank him for his efforts". :confused: :rolleyes:

Rubbish club in a rubbish league.

Unlikely.

I'd say he will likely stay in Scotland and take a lower division job there.

I wonder if that will change with the new board in place and our New Chairmans other favourite team being the Pars;). Good to see a seemingly young vibrant board being appointed though, it looks like fresh faces are needed around the place to work some magic, especially with regards to last years supposed financial mess. .

Rumours that Hegarty has called on the Harps board to give him bigger financial backing to push on from last season, if not and they just want to avoid relegation he'll be off. He's still a more realistic candidate to replace Robbo than Kenny IMO.

Unlikely to be Hegarty now though as he is to give a Press Conference on Monday night with club members to outline Harps' strategy for the coming season.

You must be a bit disappointed the Cup Final was postponed . I was looking forward to watching it on the box myself.

Back on topic, as regards Stephen Kenny if the Longford job is open again it might be good for him. Given Longford being only newly relegated and just been in a Cup Final are in far better shape in 2007 than they were in 1997 when he went there first.

It would be madness for Kenny to backto longford in the ELFirst Division

Would you go back to a beginner job you left 10 years ago, at a lower level and pay than you're on now, out of some misplaced idea that it might be good for you ? Nobody sensible would.

Mixed, unsurprisingly.


Id take Higgsy and Decky Devine as his number two, its a strong possibility.
