Pete Mahon resigns from UCDD

Should a potential new manager not be the one deciding who was offered a contract if Mahon wasn't definitely going to be the manager?

Sorry; meant to say the management were all offered new contracts at the end of last season. I think after that, we either let players go or say we'll talk to them in January when training starts back.

Rusty's a good coach and a very decent guy. will probably have to develop a meaner streak tho if he becomes the mgr of the first team.
He is employed by the College already, looking after all the soccer scholarhips, is he not?
Pete mahon done great things at ucd IMO. top top mgr and very honest in his assessments post match

Head of the academy apparently.

Announcement expceted by the end of the week. I'd say it's Martin's if he wants it.

Either I'm very confused as to what you're talking about, or that seems very strange practice from UCD. Does that mean to say that the club has been at nothing since November, while waiting for Mahon to decide on a contract?

A budget has been established and presumably licencing dealt with, but yeah, pretty much. This is how a semi pro club with mostly 1 year contracts operates. We're partly protected from having to keep everyone under contract by the compensation due for young players who move. With a smaller budget this year, we don't have the money to aggressively recruit new senior players, and most youth players are signed in the summer, so what else is there to do?

The club usually waits until the new year to sort out contracts for the coming season. Didn't make a difference this year though as about 95% of the squad wanted to leave anyway.
