Think you can rule him out completely to be honest. If the Rovers fans had enough of Scully's defensive hoof-ball then they are hardly going to go straight for the man who practices hoof-ball squared.

Rico, Doolin or Cook are the most likely I'd say. They should interview Roddy for the laugh.

It'll take a bit more than that to get rid of him.

I like your take on humour though :D

Liam Brady advised Arkaga that they should put Mattews in place :o

Yeah, it's all down to him. Nothing to do with having to reduce wages by 70% and get rid of their best players. Before all that they were motoring along nicely, they've still lost very few games this year. He could win the Setanta Cup this year, which would give him a total of 2 FAI Cups, a League Cup and a Setanta Cup, plus a League Cup runner up and an FAI Cup runner up. He's a very good manager, some people don't like him very much but he's achieved a fair bit.

Duggie, you're an idiot. Alan Mathews may not have his team's playing the most attractive football, but he has (more often than not) got results when it matters. He's in the top 3 managers this decade on the basis of achievements on the field (alongside Fenlon and Doolin) and he has conducted himself admirably this year with all the off-field problems in Cork. Again Duggie I stress that you're an idiot.

Mattews is crap. Anyone that knows anything about football knows this fact.

What were Cork doing hiring a manager that just relegated Longford. I cannot understand it.

Maybe they will go for Tony Cousins next season.

I reckon Doolin is a shoe-in for the job.

What sort of a fact is that?. Your own misguided opinion. It doesn't surprise me however. If you take the Cork forum as an unofficial gauge then about 80-90% would say he's done a great job with them considering what he's had to put up with. I think they might know a bit more about the situation than you. As for him relegating Longford the deduction of six points didn't help much did it?.

Matthews is a poor manager. Had great platyers with Longford and only ever performed in the cup. Not good enough to sustain it over a league season.
