2026 Transfer Window

Nice and honest statement on the past season by the owner. A lot of mistakes happened and it sounds like lessons were learned. Back in 2021 when we lost the plays were relegated without a manager we didn’t hear anything from several weeks. Thankfully the club changed ownership and is in such a better position now, continuous going from strength to strength off the pitch. Hopefully we can build a decent side and not be involved in a relegation fight next year. Great transparency, hopefully we aren’t waiting long before a manager is appointed. The managerial options are a bit grim though, there seems to be nothing available in Ireland other then Clancy, and with him I’d have no issue getting the job. You question his commitment as by all accounts he opened a business with the wife at home earlier this year and he was double jobbing. I’d want full commitment from Clancy if we took a punt on him. Duff is the obvious box office choice, but I couldn’t see that happening despite rumoured talks that have happened. I’d love if Matt Lawlor could get a proper go at it but unfortunately young family in England and a coaching role with Fleetwood first team, can’t blame him for turning the job down earlier this year. Thanks Jesus we avoided the drop.
