Maybe the chairman is still waiting for your White Knight to smooth the way for Rico?

Drogs don't really need to make signings anyway.. they have a good enough squad to stay up comfortably, which they will do. Next season sure, but what can they do this year apart from maybe have a crack at the cup?!
Bray on the other hand could be in trouble.
Interesting interview with Pete Mahon on LMFM at the weekend.
He lets loose at the FAI and their management of the league and supports the recently punished comments by Roddy Collins.
"I know for a fact that there are five people at Drogheda, four players and one coach who are owed money from last season. So I want to know how licences are given out."

I remember Roddy speaking up for Mahon a few years ago after Paul Doolin had a go at Pete. Roddy was right then also.
Pete took over from Doolin at UCD. Doolin left the club in ****e; Mahon called him up on it. Doolin went mad. Twas around the time we got relegated (which Doolin denied was his fault, even though he left us about ten points adrift)
My favourite moment from that time was Tony McDonnell reckoning an article I'd written for STIG, our fanzine, when Drogheda visited in a Cup game stirred things up and re-ignited the row. :)
That's great but what about the rest of the managers. Are they afraid to speak or are they happy the way the League is run ?
That's why he's gone back to the civil service.He'll be in good company there.
I'm surprised it took him this long to realize he wasn't much good at the football :o
On a day off so little else to do but a bit of stirring. Of course it was the board who set the unsustainable budget based on speculation of land sale (watch out Bray) but imo he took longer than he should have to land silverware on the level of budget credit at his disposal. The redeeming element for him at that time were some excellent European perfromances...if only he had Graham Gartland practising penalties..
