LM & the disappearing players
LM has been blamed for the departure of many players during the last year or so....
Tynan - thought he was God and should be in the first team ( presumably ahead of Ollie). LM said he wasn't, TT left.
Where is he now - KIlkenny, bottom of Div 1. Shels didn't take him.
Herro had some problems even under Mountfield and has now settled nicely in Div 1. Major attitude problem.
Flanagan got the hump when dropped. I have some sympathy with him, but it's a squad game. He has also settled nicely in Div 1.
Ollie and Coughlan were leaving anyway for $$$.
Buckley left under a cloud but he was s***e for the last season anyway. Has he got a club?
Moore & Cotter weren't up to it.
Mulligan - we don't really know the story do we? So he wantd to stay.. that's of no consequence without knowng the context of the problem.
Greg - major attitude prob, going to Echo with his issues. Went to Longford and grew up. LM accepted the change and now thinks Greg is one of the 3 best players this season.
Bottom line for me is that with the exception of Mulligan, who was not only cover, CCFC have not lost key players because of LM.
The nature of their departure was messy, fair enough, but would we be happy with a team full of the above players now?
The timing of their departure was unfortunate as it left the squad quite light, but cleaning up the squad to create room for new blood takes time. And now we have Rennie, George, Flynn etc etc. All better players.
So, the Murphy Out group who point to the departure of players as one reason for LM to pack it in...case not proven conclusively lads.
