    Alan Kirby

    Well lads,

    Any truth in the rumour that if ye get promoted that Alan Kirby will be coming back to us .Heard this around Longford over the weekend
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    Have not heard anything myself but I doubt it as he and conan have been our best players this year, so Id expect him to stay and I expect the club to want him to stay.

      Hope not. I cant see what reason he would have to go to Longford.

        He's married to a Longford girl and I think they live here now or certainly they were building a house here. He'll be back eventually I would think.

            That would be a reason i suppose but depends what he is looking for and what longford town can offer him.

              I don't know if it will be next season but apparently he's been known to have a long term plan of coming back at some stage. I would think he'll get better offers than us so it would be factors other than money if he were to come back next season. He still goes to some of our games and he's been at plenty of club functions. A lot of the LTFC people were at his wedding in the summer. It'd be a club he'd have a loyalty towards.

                I think he's 32. Good news if he decides to come back to us, he'll always get a great welcome.

                      We can offer him two bags of tayto and a can of lilt. Plus bonuses.

                              I doubt it would be next season but he seems a loyal sort of a lad so id say he would like to go back to finish off his career and maybe get into the coaching side of things. Hope he is with us for as long as possible though.
