Just Heard On Radio Foyle
If the stories about the gardai being called to the dressing room in Longford and the like are true then it's no great surprise. He never seemed to have the dressing room behind him. Will anyone want to take the poison chalice?
Jaysus!
Cheerio Pat.
Peter Hutton's the man.
Hopefully Tony Gorman gets chased out of there as well......
Terrible news. Just when Fenlon was gathering a bit of momentum he goes and resigns.
I know someone who is feeling real smug right now. :p
Lets hope Tony Gorman is put in charge now and we can watch the whole thing happen all over again:D
I think they will be going for someone with a lot more experience this time. I don't think there is anyone on this land....
Lets hope Gorman is instantly given the boot.Quote:

The former Shelbourne boss, who took over from Stephen Kenny at the Brandywell, has yet to announce the reasons for his decision.
Derry have struggled at the start of their first season under Fenlon and the Candystripes lie fifth in the league, 11 points behind leaders St Pat's.
City could only manage a draw with basement club Longford
Cheerio Now!
Roddy Collins was seen on the N2 on his way to Derry this morning;)
Urgent bit of plastering no doubt............or was he driving the bus?Quote:

To take them from imo a slightly over-achieving team built out of teamwork and a good attitude to tearing lumps out of eachother in the dressing room is a disgrace.
And if he was...where did he get the engine:confused:Quote:

Fenlon quits as Derry City boss
Pat Fenlon has resigned as manager of Eircom League of Ireland club Derry City after just five months in the job.
The former Shelbourne boss, who took over from Stephen Kenny at the Brandywell, is understood to have quit due to personal reasons.
Derry have struggled at the start of their first season under Fenlon and the Candystripes lie fifth in the league.
City captain Peter Hutton will take charge of the team with help from current assistant boss Tony Gorman.
Fenlon broke the news to the Derry squad on Tuesday morning.
"We feel we've let Pat down as well as ourselves - we've lost the best manager in Ireland," said player Darren Kelly.
City lie 11 points behind league leaders St Pat's after a disappointing scoreless draw with basement club Longford Town on Saturday.
In a statement the club said they had regrettably accepted Fenlon's resignation.
"We would like to thank Pat for his efforts on behalf of the club and wish him well for the future," they added.
not a huge surprise, if players dont get behind the manager they seem to be able to get rid of them quick enough.
