I was thinking about Pat Scully's achievement with Rovers and how good he's doing so it got me thinking is he the best manager in the whole league?
Other notable mentions might be Alan Matthews at Longford.Considering resources and points deductions hes had to deal with hes doing well,i know they are bottom but they still have a chance of surviving.
Harps are doing very well too.
Anyone else have other suggestions?
Why harps surely oput of first div hendo will get it, one of the lowest budgets, loads of off field toruble, and the smallest squad in EL.
Given a choice I think I might take Paul Cooke from Sligo. His side seems to play good football and he's doing well with a squad that was stripped of it's best players by Sean Connor.
or so connor thought;)Quote:

Seriously though, Scully has done an amazing job, definitely my manager of the year.
Scully has been fantastic, even when he was with kilkenny remember they had a great spell at one stage when we were in the 1st division! he's brought it into the preier with shams now and with a part time team and no home ground, theyve been magnificent.
Paul Cook im sure everyone would agree has been just as good really, you wont get a more honest man in ireland anyway, you'll do well to find a more honest and genuine manager anywhere. he has rovers playing some lovely football, has a small squad and limited resources but still has us challenging for europe. couldn't have asked for a better man to take the job
has to be Scully no doubt.... to stop Sligo fans praising there oen manager...lets keep it to opposition;)
in fairness he does deserve praise, whether its from his own fans or notQuote:

i know thank god for that.... well then let other supporters say it, whether its been the songs,players etc.... ye always have to be the 1st set of supporters to start giving your own club as your pick!!. get's a bit boring!!:)Quote:

drogheda - full time, nutso budget
Pats - full time(ish) decent resources
Cork- full time, how much income form transfers and 35million of an investment onteh way (yeah right)
Derry - fulltime
Sligo - full time, hahahahaha
Bohs - fulltime wasters, 150 million in the bank
Scully is a miracle worker.
and whats this year and half stuff, he took KCFC from re-election to 4th, won div one with rovers and is 3/4 of season thru this term....he's lost less than a dozen games in 3 years
whats so commical about sligo rovers being fulltime?
To be fair to Scully, his first stint in the managerial world was when he was caretaker boss of us after Harry McCue got sacked and before Doolo joined.Quote:

So yeah, he's a good manager alright.
