Lads this is getting blown out of proportion,Park in a great position at the moment and lets just drop this subject on players not happy,if there not theyl leave,but at 7 o clock this evening we will have at least 18 training again so lets leave it at that.
Any one any fixtures for this weekend?
To be honest, I don't think too many are fed up with Finnan,I think it's the fact that they're are about 18/20 lads down at every game,and you can only play 11.I mean meeting at 8.45 on a cold and windy sunday morning away to Knockainy,you would have thought 13 maybe 14 lads would show up.there was at least 18 lads at it.So the desire to play for him is there,especially when the team is doing so well.
Probably more of an inevitability than a probability that players are going to be unhappy. Well I feel for them really if they are not wanted/needed then why tag them along. A few simple words by the manager and this would have been avoided.Quote:

dermot has a history of signing anything with a heart beat so they can't play elsewhere.Quote:

Dermot is paid to do a job and that is get the team back to the permier. he will do that his own way. Nice guys win nothing.
What do most of these players think when they get promoted and he gets more players in as they aren't good enough for 1a or premier.... then the fun begins
Ya that was tried before at Park they ended the season after bottom of 1A getting trashed by everyone and anyone. Since then players who walked away in Parks hour of need then re-appear in a heroic fashion to wrestle Park AFC from the depths of lower league football. A man who is loyal to players will achieve much more than a man who abuses his players. Might be mistaken but I think it ended in tears at Fairview?Quote:

None of the current players feel they are back in heroic form. maybe playing 1b it is a bit easier to have a drink the night before.
Now DF is back to get Park back where they belong. will he do it?
paid to do a job managing in division 1b ... f**k me i must start thinking about getting into management :)Quote:

It is a pity that they relegated themselves for 1 season and now will pay a manager to get them back up (cost themselves a lot of money for relegating themselves). However i think they will never learn. it is not the first time they have been stung for money. After Dermot finnan leaves they may try and match 'Stans' wages when he is let go from the irish job :D
To say parks best days are over is insane,if you see the set-up down there for schoolboys,all age groups,tuesday and thursdays kids everywhere,good to see that the club are going in the right direction,all it takes is to keep the consistency going with the junior team,if lads hear park are winning alot of there games,tough training sessions,great facilities,experienced management,of course lads are going to want to join the club,the more players down the better,Its the start of a new era for park,in a excellent way.:ball::ball:Quote:

I will comment that soon enough Dermot is going to have to make decisions, big decisions, without the money to get a few players. IMO its in the dressing room after being beaten 3-0 where a manager makes his money. The days of using and abusing players is long gone.Quote:
