im a galway utd fan myself and just wanted a general discussion.i had forgotten about the sligo manager who is doing well and keely deserves a mention too but you really cant look past scully as i said.some english club will be in for him soon enough id say.
Respect. You buried that hatchet very well. My opinion of Bohs is irrelevant because if you're smart you already know what I think of your situation. And long may it continue.Quote:

Well done Mental Man. And Matt Keane's show on WLRFM rocks to :D
Bohs were a title chasing team the time he was there. He has done a good job at ucd in fairness too him even though he comes across as a miserable ****.Quote:

Personally I'd go for Pat Scully. Did a good job at Kilkenny and has performed wonders for Shamrock Rovers. He's the type of manager any club would want, one who can extract the maximum from his set of players no matter their level of talent. The only thing I find odd about him is his huge turnover of players, but who am I to argue with his methods? Would be intrigued to see him with a bigger budget a la Shels of old or Drogs. When you see what even Fenlon and Doolin can achieve you wonder what a manager who can cut the mustard without the cash to splash could.
I'd go for Pete Mahon.
Paul Hegarty is a legend. 18 points behind at one stage in the league, now second and 2 points adrift. Working wonders.
We had a discussion at one of our games about, filming just him on the side-lines, top quality viewing imo :p
The muckers must be sickened he didnt take over from Kenny, ah well, what a pity, never mind :cool:
The best manager in the league is Sean Connor, have you not heard his interviews they almost match Rico's. :(
Joking aside I reckon Scully is the best manager based on this season. He has taken a team from Division 1 and only added a few players. It is a bad league this year but you can only beat what is in front of you and they have done that. To come straight up and be 5 points off the top says it all really. Hopefully its a bubble that will burst, and soon :rolleyes:
Other mentions must go to Pete Mahon and Alan Matthews. I would not class them as good as Scully but both have done a great job. That's two cup semi's UCD are in and are doing well in the league. Matthews has taken a shambles of a club and might just keep them up.
Scully by far is the best manager this season anyway. And as Chippie has said, Mahon and Matthews are doing some really good work on limited resources.
pat scullys green n white army.........sean conner is the best manager in the league ....cos if steve staunton is the manager of ireland.....conner is the best in the el...............FAI......Fools and Idiots
Sean Connor is a change leader! :D
We are doing poor in the league this season.Quote:

I'd vote for Scully, Mahon second.
I don't see why Matthews is getting so much credit. He's turned them around halfway through this season but what about the months before that? And the year before that they didn't do much. Carmarthen anyone? They did well in the cup competitions for a while but I think to be a good manager consistency in the league is more important and apart from their recent run, they've not been up to much for the past few years.
Being docked for not going by licence rules to me indicates a shamble of a club, if it was my club I would not be best pleased if the people are volunatry or not. Maybe breaching rules is the new way to go, in Longford anyway :rolleyes:Quote:

Look at Flancare Park and tell me we are not well run. There is not one club in this league maybe the obvious exception of Cork or Bohs that dont or havent had cash flow problems!:ball:Quote:
