Kenna wasn't long in Galway when he made it clear he was looking preferably for a job in England so I don't think that has changed in the interim. I fancy come the end of next season if not before someone in the lower leagues in England will eventually take a punt on him and he'll be gone quick smart.
...and you can be guaranteed he'll try and bring Foster over as his assistant.
Lads, I understand what your saying but its not like this is news. Kenna has been applying for jobs in ireland all winter (Dundalk, Rovers, Cork). If he gets a job in England he'll go. Nothing different from the vast majority of managers and players here
He had been applying for jobs, either didn;t get them or turned them down. He then agreed to stay on at United - which is the point United fans are makling, not the fact he left, but the fact he left after committing to the club for 2009
and the main thing (for me anyway) is that he wont get a job in england unless he's doing well for pats
Not really Dodge kenna has no principles he didnt even bother ringing United or Ian yesterday to say he was walking out the backdoor again. I think we have got the best man while ye have an arrogant sod who lies through his teeth.Quote:

Good move by GUFC. Kenna gone off the wagebill, hopefully some combo in for losing Kenna and Foster moves up to fill the gap.
bhs
we came up and finished in top half comfortablyQuote:

Kenna handled this very badly.... and the fact that the goons running our club allowed it to come to this is shocking... who's responsible for this farce? very few contracted players (no proven goalscorer on the horizon either, JK & VF to be fair are workers rather than out and out finishers) relatively unproven manager.....
Still, I thought we had a great squad at the start of last season and we were dire for ages so you never know I suppose.....
No idea what Foster brings, hopefully he'll tighten up our set pieces (defending and attacking!) and start using the bench, 2 things Kenna didn't seem to be able to deal with.
It's a shame what's happened.. we've lost Derek Glynn because Kenna didn't rate hime and then Kenna bolts out the door the same week Longford sign Glynn.
4 actually, Bennion looks to be number 1 keeper although Connor wants a decent keeper in to challenge as he doesnt want one player to have a cemented place...he wants every player to work for their place. Then theres Simon Kelly, Shane Grimes and Tiarnan Mulvenna, Beno and Mulvenna the only realistic ones to get a run in the team!Quote:

Galway fans have to be realistic about this, he did a great job while there & don't begrudge him a chance to progress as a manager, it will be easier to get a job in England by doing well at Pat's as opposed to Galway

I think he'll get found out at Pats though....the man seems to think that we're still using 1950s rules though, no idea about using subs, it's like he doesn't know they're there.

Is Ian Foster registered as a player again this year or is he he just manager?
I think the fans are grateful for what Jeff did during his stay at the club but he's left on not very good terms that are of his own creation to be honest.Quote:
