I had heard it was going to be about 150k but it's still a big reduction alright. That's the starting budget, there's always room to increase it slightly if fundraisers are going any way well. A good bit of change to the management committee for this year I believe so we'll see how that goes for them.
Choice of manager is going to be absolutely crucial for ye if that's the kind of budget you're going to be operating off.Quote:

Even this early I think it's gonna be a real haves versus have nots division next year.
Apologies for the rant they are tired of me on the Limerick forum. :p

but he did play for us in the first division though longfordian:pQuote:

i think you are right on that longfordian.. i think he did play for a non league team after that though not one hundred per cent sure.. have to consult the old match programs for that im afraid..Quote:

Any idea when the decision will be made??
I heard the interviews are on Saturday?
I don't want Cousins near the job, TBH.
Yeah it was voted on at the AGM last year as far as I can recall or maybe it was an EGM I can't remember. The money from that sale has gone to the taxman already as far as I know, unless this is something different I haven't seen the report so don't really know what it's about. I hear Gareth Cronin has applied for the job too apparently. I'd expect an appointment next week, it was the same week Aaron Callaghan was apponted last year.Quote:

who was there howsyourtouch?? i know vinnys was tonight.. the latest news i heard is that cronin interviewed exceptionally well. there is a surprise candidate who has played for the town at least six years ago he is supposed to be figurin strongly i havent heard the name as of yet. wonder if that could be denis o brien as he is very well qualified and he has very recently being seen publically involved on match day ie he helped produce the legends dvd..Quote:

heard phillip coffeys name being mentioned is he the youth coach with us or sligo rovers? heard alan gough terry cochrane and dave rogers applied but whether they were interviewed is a different matter..Quote:

http://www.galwayunitedfc.ie/match-r...d-results.html
is this the same philip coffey that was interviewed for the town job??
Yes. Hire him, please. :D
no peter malone and larry mullins are the youth managers,phil was the under 21 manager last yer then left to go to galway,bit of a kn*b to be honest...would be a diaster if he gets it...des is a quality coach,really is..philip actually bought des in for the last few under 21 matches last season,both after the same job now...
If one of them is the Wex then I'll buy a LTFC season ticket:D.Quote:

local players "givin a chance" last season were andy birmingham and stevie brennan,dont think they did too bad now throughout the season now do any of you??
They did very well and were some of our best players when not injured. As for some of the former Athlone rejects...
By local it is referring to the midlands and surrounding areas so you can throw a whole load of players into that, but stephen brennan is no where near good enough for the 1st division and you never know which andy bermingham will show up and play. Go through last years squad and ask yourself who is good enough to keep, you will be pushed to find many of them being local.
I'm just talking to someone who used to be managed and coached by Phillip Coffey and he says he is a ignorant c*nt and he would be a disaster as a manager because the players would hate him.
I am with Tallanted on this, who ever is good enough and willing to accept the wages should be signed and it doesn't matter where they are from.
As for a new manager, maybe the board need to think outside the box as they did with Stephen Kenny.
Looking at the previous posts I can take it another year of horrific football is on the way, so I suppose we are looking at the 8th-12th positions in the First and anything else being a bonus ..... now where did i put that whiskey and the revolver
On the matter of a manager the club must decide if they want to move on back to been a success again or just sit at the bottom of the 1st division and in my opinion that is where we will be with most of the names i see on here !!
Finally I don't give a damn if players are from Tallaght or Timbucktoo once they give 100% in EVERY game ! In my opinion 99% of the players in Longford are more interested in the drink, drugs and getting the leg over than playing at a high standard of football which is why no manager wants to take a chance on bringing them into the team.
We'll see who's appointed but I wouldn't be appointing anyone based on the fact that they won't sign any Dublin players. It's about getting the best value for money, considering we don't have any money I wouldn't be expecting much no matter who gets the job.
There was so many dublin players last season that there was split training sessions,which didnt help morale in the squad,what des cawley should be looking for is a bit of balance in both(if he gets the job).You guys are making it seem like he has some sort of vendetta against dublin players,which i dont think he has.
Well looking at those who have meant to applied Gareth Cronin stands out as the best choice although the committee will decide and depends on what players can be brought in and for how little they cost in wages.
Any rumours of anyone signing ....................
humm,best choice?im not too sure,4th in his last season with waterford,with what would have been a relatively high budget for the first division,how well could he do with a small budget at longford......
What happened to Vinny perth...thought he did well in his caretaker role???
That's quite an accusationQuote:
