think callaghan perth would be excellent myself... expains jim hanleys comments about two well qualified people applying for the job.. we know one now whos the other I ask??

Vinny is not qualified, no managerial experience or badges. Got himself in some trouble couple of months ago contacting clubs etc and club were not happy as far as I know

Can't see Cork wanting a part-time manager with a full-time team so he'd have to really, big risk he's taking leaving a comfortable job but maybe he's allowed take a "career break" for a while I suppose so he can see how it works out.

Quite ironic if he goes to Cork after most of their fans here used to always complain about his longball tactics.

There was talk a couple of years ago that he was approaching time served enough to go early... Could well have been just talk, and the career break could be the way it's gone.

A small crumb of comfort if he goes to Cork, considering their constant criticism of his style of play, how it was his types holding the league back etc etc. :D

I think you're confusing the CCFC fans with the club administration.

He only moved to Ulster Bank (RBS) in the past two years from Anglo Irish so I doubt he has time served!

I'm probably alone here, but I've met Rico a few times and he's actually a really nice bloke.

Any within earshot of a committee member have any word on when an announcement is going to be made? From a non official source, i heard all interviews were to be concluded today or yesterday with a decision to follow soon afterwards.

Actually goes back to the Kenny era and the 01 cup run, and comments how Cork would find it tough away to Pats in the 3rd round. Hey Mr Niall Byrne man, score a goal for me...

No idea but we really should know these things... We all complain about the Irish team but at least they let people know whats going on.

Jim Hanley and Michael Connellan are two of the three. Mickey Cox could be the third, I'm not sure.

08/01/2008, 3:43 PM

Depends on who you believe. One paper said 26,500, another said 60k.

if reading sell kevin doyle cork are due 10% of the fee so if that happens they'll be well able to afford moons
08/01/2008, 3:57 PM

can imagine the uproar with the cork lads. alan the best of luck in your new job.. hopefully you will put in a very competitive bid for dave mooney we could do with the money.:)
15/01/2008, 10:04 PM
Risteard

Bid?
I thought he was out of contract.
I'm sure there'll be a fixed fee set by the FAI.
In fact I already thought it was 26,500 but can't find that anywhere atm.
