What manager would you NOT want to see arrive at your club?

Danny Drew. Him or Rafa.

Roddy or Doolin.

Interesting that most choices are Roddy or a club's ex-manager. :)

Aaron O'Callaghan *spit*

Once was more than enough

I meant to include Micky O'Connor. The things he got up to when with us were incredible. Pesky libel laws prevent me from repeating them!

Kenna,
Scully,
Roddy

Exactly...we have gone through all this on another thread....this thread asked who we wouldnt want managing our team and we our entitled to say whoever we like...a couple of us said Michael O' Neill because we dont like him..simple enough..is that ok BYTCWD??

In my opinion Cook is one of the most honest managers in the league and calls it how it is..but i totally understand other fans from other clubs can have different,sometimes negative opinions of him and i accept that as they are entitled to them and im not childish enough to argue with somebodys opinion because i dont agree with it...some people should learn that:)

Personally, Cook is my favorite manager in the league. Encourages good football, is brutally honest and is a fantastic character rather than the embarrasment that Roddy is....who would be my answer to this thread.

Roddy Collins arriving at Cork City FC was something I honestly thought would never happen. I thought after the Shams and Dublin City shenanigans and the cringe inducing way he performs in the media, no one would ever employ him again in this league and it would move forwards, but there ya go, if you ever needed any further proof of just how much damage Coughlan is doing, not just to CCFC but the league, there it is in one appointment.

Jimmy Jackson!

Shoddy would be the main one.

There'd be few I'd worry about more because of the club rather than the manager per se - for example Nutsy isn't really a bad manager, but if he came to us it'd mean we'd have a stupid (unaffordable) budget.

Roddy, Spoofer Connor, Dolan, Keely, Kenny, Gormley, Cousins, Cronin, Gill, Doolin, Buckley, Scully, Kenna, John Ryan, Brendan Place

Minnowism is what I believe they call that attitude in D7, and they are right.

MO'N accused us of of being a dirty team. Cook has never done that, you're talking through your piece.

Can't say I remember him doing that. Can you post a link to where he's quoted as saying that?

Hard to believe that he would, M O`N is a real pro and a decent guy off the pitch.(also possible closet Bohs fan;))

Pat Scully and Connor are the managers from hell.

Not 100% but i think the phrase used was "over physical" or "very physical" which amount to the same thing...which simply is not true with the exception of one player!!(guess who!!!)...under Cook we have been a decent footballing side.

Sean Connor tops my list ,closely followed by Roddy Collins.

Rafa Benitez, Paul Heggarty, Stephen Kenny, Stan Staunton, John "Bugsy" Cunningham, Patsy Mc Gowan, Charlie McGeever, Swen Goran Ericson, Jamie Redknapp (spoofer), Tommy Wright, Roddy Collins, Fat Pat Dolan just because he appears to think he is too good for League of Ireland (maybe he is)

What's your address?


I can't be bothered looking through the episodes of MNS, but he did get the point over that he thought he were a dirty team.

Why has John Gills name come up a few times during this thread :confused:

In 3 years we reached 2 playoffs and won promotion :confused:

Roddy Collins. If he got near an under eights team they'd all become alcoholics or something.

You'd know well he was with Floriana cos they're going on about this compensation. They should be glad they are rid of him! Moan-bag.

Stephen Kenny. time will tell. (x 2)

Anybody wanting David Jeffrey please offer him a nice sum so we can get rid of him, Ta, very much.

dont think pep guardiola would suit us either, so wouldnt like him. so thats nutsy and pep

Not sure Pep could handle the pressure of a big club like Bohs alright. It's alright winning a few tin pot trophies with those Spanish minnows but when the pressure is on and you're only drawing 1-1 with Sligo and the baying hordes in the Jodi are on his back..well that's a whole different ball game.

Almost forgot, Alan Reynolds, Pat Scully and Tony Cousins worth special mention also.

24 trophies isn't enough clearly. Chronic underachiever.

I know what ye mean, more trouble than he's worth in the long run.
Looks good on paper, and in fairness he's very good on crosses, but so often turns out not to be the Messiah the fans are praying for.

You are probably overlooking the size of budget he had available in comparison to the other clubs in the division. I would suggest, given the resources at his disposal and the fact Dundalk have a very big catchment area for players, that his failure to win promotion at an earlier stage is a true reflection of his abilities.

On a personal level I still recall a Dundalk -v- Harps match at Oriel Park a couple of years ago where Barry Curran was denied a blatant penalty having been subjected to GBH (to call it a mis-timed tackle would be too kind). Mr Gill, in a populist fashion, was gesturing to the crowd to the effect that it was a dive. When Paul Hegarty turned on him he nearly jumped into the stand with fear!

Aside from Gill, I wouldn't be too excited if Paul Hegarty, Pat Fenlon, Stephen Kenny, Paul Doolin, Pat Scully or Eddie Gormley (simply because he exudes such an aura of misery) were appointed to the hotseat in Ballybofey.

I've seen Scully's name on here a few times.

I thought he had done pretty well with the clubs he has managed, at least in terms of their league positions.

What is it that makes him a less than desirable manager?
