Were the people you know he was talking to any good?
Also Happy Christmas to all.
I don't want to name names just out of respect to other clubs and all that bull... But 1 has signed with Rovers, 1 with Sligo, 1 with Cork and 1 with Dundalk. Out of the few I heard he had spoken to, they'd have improved the squad. 2 were high profile.Quote:

Any of those would add nicely to our squad once we can tie down a few more of last years players. Gartland and Gavin Kavanagh especially.Quote:

I did have a few drinks last night, but I'm almost sure it was Kerley. I could be mistaken and maybe they were only there for Annacotty or for the academy like you said.Quote:

Apparently anyway the manager has been appointed and its just waiting to be announced so we should know soon.
If it was to be Kerley and Tommy as manager and assistant then like you i fear we would be in massive trouble.
After reading here Kerley out with tommy makes sense. As the supposed assistant manager surely what Kerley would want is to meet up with Tommy as soon as and see what the story with the 19's is etc... And that is what he is doing. Tommy was with Kerley above in Athlone so they obviously have a close enough relationship.
A lot of people I have talked to seem to be delighted if Kerley is assistant and Kilbane or someone else as manager.
Was told about week before Christmas from someone living out my way when I posted saying there was more to the Kilbane story than just a rumour that Kilbane was the one. It was apparently conformed by one of the coaches to him.
Mike Kerley holds a Pro Licence so that would be helpful when it comes to licensing requirements.
