Poor Seanie is gone. Along with his giggle crew.

Ideal scenario now is sack Kenny and replace him with the great one (with a 3 year contract obviously). Smiles all round.
Connor divorce turns nasty

Hmmmm hopefully Caps United do better in court than Bohs (hardly setting the bar too high :rolleyes:) and a damn sight better in court than they did on the pitch.Quote:

Jere apologises to Connor
Henry Mhara,Sports Reporter | 2012-09-13 08:36:00
Caps United co-owner Farai Jere has apologised to Sean Connor after “realising” that the Northern Irishman had no fault in the team’s poor showing.
Jere blamed some senior players for sabotage.
The Irishman and his entire technical staff which included assistant Lloyd Chitembwe were shown the exit door in August after posting four losses in a row.
Taurai Mangwiro and Mkhuphali Masuku were appointed as coach and assistant respectively.
After watching Caps scrap past Hardbody on Tuesday Jere said: “We have realised that the problems at Caps have got nothing to do with the coaches, but the players themselves. These players are not serious at all. I want to apologise to all the coaches we have fired.”
Three players, Edmore Sibanda, Nyasha Mukumbi and Marvel Samaneka have already been sacked as part of a purge of players accused of causing dressing room disharmony.
The latest win was Caps United’s first in 10 attempts to steer the struggling team out of the relegation zone. The Green Machine are on 11th position with 23 points, the same number as Black Mambas who sit just above the relegation cut-off point.
“We will not be relegated this season,” vowed Jere.
Moses Chunga continues to sing the blues at Gunners since joining the club two weeks ago.
Following a 4-0 hiding at the hands of Dynamos on his return, Bambo’s team was humbled 1-0 at home by Buffaloes.
Basement side Quelaton’s woes continued as they were hammered 4-0 by FC Platinum, their 16th defeat of the season.
They have six points from 21 matches, and unless a miracle happens in the remaining matches, they will be playing Division One football next season.
Sean coining it in Again.

CAPS United must pay their former coach Sean Connor US$90,000 for unlawfully terminating his contract.
The Irish coach referred his dispute with the Harare club to arbitration following his sacking in August.
Connor had a contract for $4,000 a month in basic pay and a winning bonus of $400 per game which was to be reviewed in January.
He had demanded US$122,000 from United to leave quietly, but the club had only offered just $15,000, leading the matter to arbitration.
A judgement of the Commercial Arbitration Centre released on Tuesday said: “In terms of the law, Connor was on a fixed term contract of two years with the provision that this contract would be renewed after twelve months.
“Such a contract... provides that the relevant notice period for a two-year fixed term contract shall be three months. In this regard, the 30-day notice clause in the claimant’s contract fails to meet the minimum requirements of the law.
“I find it curious that this clause could have found place in any contract of employment.
“No-one has a right under the contract of employment to terminate a contract ‘without just cause’. The point argued by CAPS United is that Connor entered into a performance-related contract and therefore agreed to be terminated in the manner he was.
“I disagree with that contention. The contract of employment is clear in that it gave the respondent the power to review the contract after 12 months. Even if such a review had been carried out, which I have already found out was never carried out, such a review would have been against the letter and spirit of the contract of employment.”
Connor’s claims for a motor vehicle allowance and signing on fees for 2013 were dismissed.
The arbitrator said: “I uphold the all the claimed items as listed except the motor vehicle allowances and the signing on fee for 2013. The claim on the motor vehicle is based on speculation while that on the signing on fees is disallowed for the simple reason that I believe one is only entitled to the payment of this allowance at the commencement of the employment relationship.
“In the result, Connor’s remaining legitimate claims against the respondent arising from breach of contract amount to UDS$99,640.
“Therefore CAPS United should pay to Sean Connor the amount of US$90,640 being compensation for breach of contract.”
What a money grabbing spazmotron.... I hope he never gets another job in football.
Best wishes, Steve Bruce...

Lord they will be believe anything
I assume they were talking US dollars in the story. If they're talking Zimbabwean dollars, Connor's salary of 4000 a month works out at about £6.91!Quote:

Great read.
Chacha! Brilliant. I like how his agent calls him a bitter man without seeing the other connotations of that statement.
I know times are hard but to turn to destitution..seriously? I mean who'd even pay him to do that? What would his mother think?
Great story, what interesting times Connors is having in Africa. You have to remember that the Bohs board were desperate to get this guy in as their manager only a few short years ago. Are those people still involved in running things at Dalymount. Dundalk and Galway both in their wisdom also hired him. He told those who were paying his wages in Galway that there were unprofessional and that the next job he would get would be with professional football people, It looks like he has at last found soccer people, down in Africa of all places, who seem to be able to make a reasonable judgement of character. Also I understood that Seanie had a girlfriend in Killybegs, maybe she went out to Africe with him.
By the way Connor's time in Galway only contributed in a very small way, if any to the sorry state we are in now, but his employment only indicated how badly run Galway Utd was.
Sure if I remember correctly, he got a substantial pay-rise behind GUST's back when they were trying to steady the ship. That was nowhere near the stupidest thing that was done.Quote:

Poke fun at the man all yous want, its poor Chacha I feel sorry for :D
Will it be Chacha or Cha-ching for Connor? Stay tuned!
Donegal, Dundalk and Zimbabwe - not surprised he is destitute?Quote:

In fairness it is not a nice situation for anyone to find themselves in, regardless of their past. Should get good old Stevie McG onto the job, he and Mr. G would sort out the situation!
Apparently Mr Connor has been reduced to crashing in other people's homes. He is considering coming out of Oscar Pistorius's bathroom now, but Oscar's girlfriend is dead against it.
Sean need's a handout-

PLEASE KINDLY PARDON ME FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE
Good Day,
Please, kindly pardon me for any inconvenience this letter may cost you because I know it may come to you as a surprise as we'have no previous correspondence.
I got your contact as i was searching for helping hand in your country , this is why I decided to appeal to you directly for assistance because the embassy has ignored my pleas.
I am a football manager who has been relieved from his post. It has defiled all forms of legal and moral evaluation, as I have been unfairly treated by those who know little of my talent or hard work.
Before my expulsion I had a foreign account set-up in south Africa up to the tune of $6.5million united state dollar which I told the bank was for the importation of multi-coloured bibs and footballs.
I want you to do me a favour to receive this funds to a safe account in your country or any safer place as the beneficiary.
For your assistance, I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have 5% of the money for your assistance, and helping my family investing this funds, or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Which ever the option you want, please do notify me in your reply.
I have plans to do investment in your country, into football clubs such as Galway City FC.This is my reason for writing to you. Please if you are willing to assist me, indicate your interest in replying soonest.
Thanks and best regards .
Mr S Connor

Yes. Sean Connor has sponsored him every year since he's been at Everton I heard.
And now he's apparently thrown his hat into the ring for the Blues job!!!!
Make more sense if he threw his ring into the hat.
Waterford fans have suffered enough.
I'd imagine Waterford would be more in line to pick up someone like Pat Scully.
No end to this man's talents it seems

Chris Turner, Darren Mansaram, Harpal Singh and Michael McGinlay all due to sign for Killybegs in time for the final
First I have heard of this. Good chance this game will be on tg4 on sunday; so all Sean's fans can look in. I am sure he would also be interested in the Finn Harps job so a win on sunday will further enhance his cv. Come to think of it the Galway FC/SD job will be available as well.
Has apparently applied for harps job already.
As long as he doesn't end up in Cork I don't care where he goes :mad:
