He's obviously modelling his approach on the Cork hurlers and heavily buying into the idea that there's no such thing as bad publicity.Quote:

I feel embarrassed as a City fan atm. Coughlan really seems like such an idealistic person, a GAA coach would never make the grade in soccer, too many formations, too much tactics and not enough shouting and throwing things, will TC see the Powerade ad and then sign the Munsterconnaught fella?:rolleyes:
EDIT: Try to sign the Munsterconnaught fella, even ur man knows what a bad idea it is to sign for us at this stage
but the thing i dont get is that ye have appointed a manager in the past with a strong gaa background and that was dave barry!!Quote:

On the City website,they said that they have recieved over 15 applications for the job.

Its all Chinese whispers Martinho, i couldn't tell you really.Quote:

Aside from him having a brilliant record while at the club, people will always say he has no league of Ireland experience but if we needed to have a guy take the position from a selection of inexperienced managers then he'd be the best without doubt. Having him know a huge pool of players is an unbelievable bonus for him as well.
That said, it could be someone else tomorrow.
Robert McDonalds name has been added to the mix now

Glad he didn't stay because we wouldn't have Cook if he had. Not sure what sort of job he'd do with Cork, he stressed his desire to play 4-3-3 football with us, which seems weird to know yer exact formation before you've seen any players or what the teams are like.
I think McDonald had a major hand in our decision to go full-time, which ultimately put us in the position we were in this season.
He signed a lot of very questionable players for us, while forcing out players like O'Grady who couldn't commit to full-time (of course, he came back when McDonald left)
His playing and coaching career seems to also suggest that he can't/won't stick any job for very long.
He singed some great players for us though..Kevin Julian, Timoslave Acarba, Steve Manson ;)
Back of todays Echo saying David Geddis has been interviewed.
He seems to have a good CV as well. Of the guys believed to be in the running, how many of them have their UEFA Badges?Quote:

If it were easy then everyone would be doing it ;) Heliodorus its compounded with all the doom and gloom of the recession. Off season is always bad. I wouldn't worry too much.Quote:
