Wage bill/staff budget is what I meant. Don't know anything about their other costs.Quote:

Just looking at who voted for who - didn't the first post say you shouldn;t vote for the manager of your own club? That's why I voted for Kenny, though my biased vote would obviously go to Kenna given what he did in the circumstances he found himself in
i noticed that most of Kennys other votes came from Derry fans...
lol - good on ye lads.
I voted grudgingly for Fenlon. You can't argue with 85/99 points over 9 months, 7 goals more scored than their nearest rivals and at a rate of 1.6 a game, and the best defensive record in the league by 11 goals. As much as they are rivals and as much as I dislike Fenlon, you absolutely cannot find fault with that and I think deep down everyone who voted otherwise knows that.
However, I think Eddie Gormely deserves an honourable mention. The fact that Bray have very quietly taken 6th despite being tipped at the start of the season as relegation candidates is testament to the good results they've had this year. I don't think there was any time they looked to be in any real danger and I think Gormley's got on with a tough job with few resources and done very well.
Also, who the hell voted for Hegarty? :eek:
Sligoman. Says it all reallyQuote:

That can be the only logical explanationQuote:

Paul Cook for me, but maybe I am influenced by the fact he gets a mention in Jamie Carragher's autobiography and the fact that he led to my brother having the 2nd best night of his life when he got to stay drinking into the early hours with the Liverpool legends.
Also has the best twinkle in his eye of all the managers.
Oh yeah and did a great job on the pitch too. :o
Turns out he's friends with some of the Pool players. I'm hoping he'll get a loan deal with Torres eventually:p.Quote:

Same i voted for Kenna before reading the thread... in fairness though Jeff lost half his squad and took over us while we were bottom. Cook is a good mention but had Sligo not qualified for Europe would he even get a mention?, coupled that with Corks 10 point deduction. Fenlon aswell, not too sure, he had a MASSIVE budget, also got a steal from us due to our woes(Deegan). Considering a deduction helped Sligo i'd have to go for Fenlon, but i think Kenna has done the biggest featQuote:

I know a lot of people talk sh1te on this forum about things that they know nothing about, but I honestly would have thought that at few of them would have know who manages the team they support!:confused::eek:;)Quote:

There was also two awful performances in the cup quarter-final.
Also, Eddie has his favourites. He's forced out two top players (Franco and Duggan) over personal disagreements. Selecting Cawley as captain was another low point for him.
That said, we did equal our best season since returning to the Premier and we're up five points from last year.
He'd be nowhere near Kenna, Fenlon, Cook, McDonnell, Kenny or Matthews in my book.
I know...but there was trouble during the summer and he lost some of his players. Kuduzovic and Murphy were first-teamers, weren't they?Quote:
