Paul Cook .... going? staying? gone?

Roddy Collins and Ricco have no chance.

Rico wouldn't touch the Sligo job, he's too good for it.

Mick McCarthy?

Jeez, could you imagine? Sure there'd be no harm in asking!

[hoops1]

He went at the right time, he was never going to win the league. Love Gerry Carr to get it that would be perfect.

Too good for it??Team that finished 2nd last year and won the cup and the nucleus of a very good side already signed??Only shams are a more attractive proposition for a potenial manager in this country and i dont see them loooking for a manager soon. Personally i wouldnt mind him but reckon with our history of managerial recruitments we will probably look outside the country.

The Rodster heading over for talks according to lads in Monaghan. It would be hard on Monaghan to lose a manager so close to the start of the season. The Sligo job would be hard to turn down though.

"Again?!"...I hear the Mons fans saying.

Rico would be a good fit. The players and fans are used to decent football, he'd have a point to prove and (Cork fans can back me on this I think) he's not one to be flathulach with money - unlike the begging ass from Gortakeegan. Can't see anyone else who'd really improve on what's there.

Damien Richardson is the only manager in the history of football who got the sack because he wouldnt spend the money the board wanted him to. He was right as well

a great man

Thanks El-P, if I remember from an interview with him at the time, he called out Arkaga for their carry on and warned that they weren't all they were cracked up to be. I wonder would he take the Sligo job, he'd be a good fit, though he probably would prefer to be outside of Ireland.

Jesus love Sligo. I know he has form, but it's usually mid-season that he does his monkey dance about other clubs. Though last year he threw the lips at Cork early on (probably mindgames and sour grapes from him though). Christ above, we'll have to start a new thread for Mons fans - Roddy, going, going gone. He was snubbed by Dundalk, so he can't move back east, what are the odds he'll be up at Harps soon? :-)

Now that king cig (?) has gone back to his spouse abode,can we presume to see a few of sligs new signings do a "turner" and leave for pastures new?

To be honest I don't think he'll want to get back into football management, and if he did hed probably be looking for something in Dublin. Any club that does get him is a very lucky one, he'll get your team playing football. Though hes not the best at organising a side, he kinda just lets the team play.

Arkaga had plans to spend money and build an empire, Rico said it wouldn't work as they had it planned and said their budget was ridiculous. He wouldn't spend their money so they got someone in who would. Of course the GM at the time was clueless, Georgie famously said he'd play for €2k a week, and the greyhound man said no you won't you'll play for 3.

I'd love if they signed Roddy!

[sligoman]

There's absolutely no chance of Roddy, his name seems to come up at any job going. Ridiculous.
