He spent one season in England, injured for the full season early on, and about a month in Scotland.Quote:

I await their career cv.

Absolutely brilliant players in their own league, the two boys will go down in history at their respective clubs.Quote:

Or in Europe too of course. But not to take away from the rest of your post, which is spot on in my view.Quote:

Slightly surprised at the timing but we've had too many dreadful performances this season. Don't have a clue as to who the replacement will be.
Glad they’ve done it now , we’ve got a few games coming up he could’ve scraped a run of wins in and then cling on for another whileQuote:

Jon Daly in as interim, and presumably he'd have to be bookies favourite to get it permanently provided he's able to oversee some kind of turnaround (has a Pro licence)
Not sure I see the logic in this, unless Clancy going was of his own accord and not the clubs doing. Otherwise you’d have to assume that Daly has had a fairly big input into what’s been going on, so if that warranted Clancy going, then why not his assistant ?Quote:

Yep apparently it was primarily Clancy's decision, in which case you can't exactly expect the club to have someone immediately lined up. If it wasn't Daly it would be Sean O'Connor and it's safe to say that wouldn't exactly go down well amongst the fans.
Wonder will Pats go to Drogs again for the replacement?
I think the statement said mutual consent, which can cover a lot. The fact that Jon Daly is taking over does tend to suggest that Tim decided himself that it was time to go. I just wouldn’t be confident that things are going to improve much if that’s the case.Quote:

Defensive reinforcements will be required in the summer transfer window. Players capable of implementing a low block and parking the bus.
Not really fair. Pats board are traditionally quite patient with managers. Since Liam Buckley left we’ve had Harry Kenny, who didn’t work out, but was given a decent amount of time, Stevie O’Donnell, who walked, and now Clancy, who may well have chosen to go himself. The fact that Jon Daly is staying on would imply this to me anyway. If the Board sacked Clancy then I imagine they’d have let his assistant go as well. Anyway, I don’t imagine we’ll be chasing Kevin Doherty.Quote:

Wont be Robbie Keane, he has gone into a coaching role at Leeds.
Richard Dunne and Stephen Rice were two intresting names that appeared for other jobs recently enough. Wonder if they will be linked here too.
Really, until Bradley leaves Rovers, it is as attractive as a job could be in the League. Good budget, big fanbase, and a lot of talent in the squad.
Keeping the assistant on really doesn't offer any insight into who made the decision to part ways. Still, may well have been Clancy's decision or mutual.Quote:

Interesting to see how the player recruitment will pan out for him. Cork have very little pull power among premier division clubs these days so you’d imagine the players coming in will be from abroad which has resulted in a wide range of hit and miss for Bucko. His 'brought them into the league' miss list includes Gilmartin, Langley, Guedje, Skowron, Farago, Watson, Penninkangas, Olberkis, Lorenzen, Hamilton and more. While the (relatively speaking) hits he brought to the league have been Balk, Garvan, Twardek, Parkes, Banks, Keena, Mata, Pijnaker. That’s only a fraction of the players he’s brought into the league, a lot of which I didn’t include because I don’t remember them standing out as either good or bad signings but for Cork in their current position I think it’s a good appointment because their recruitment can’t get much worse than it has been for this season, plus Buckley's experience will be invaluable to Colin HealyQuote:

patsdad where are you for the inside scoop??? Thoughts on former and new manager, how the top 4 is taking shape??Quote:

Haven’t been on here in a while but saw Colin Healy had left. Didn’t notice Tim Clancy had done the same.Quote:

Cork, Well John Caulfield could make a surprise return, and Galway make a few people happy on here by appointing his Assistant as Manager…
A tough league. A lot of pressure on managers for various targets.
Cork could do worse than Tim Clancy.
