No the money he is being allowed to throw at players (not saying our stupoid board didnt let him do the same) is why he attracts players to dalymount.Quote:

Give it to Richardson. Love him.
Dundee Utd fans reckon compo of 50,000 GBP has been agreed
Then you should think a little bit harder about it. I'll give you hints. Bohemians, not paying manager, breach of contract, no compensation due, laughing stock. Any closer to it?Quote:

How many members has he told that their projected budget for next season has already been rejected by the FAI? No doubt one of his lackies will do a story in the coming days that 'everything is fine'. Gerry Conway = comedy gold.Quote:

Seems like if Bohs hadn't have been so amateur with their ridiculous attempts at negotiating a settlement way above what would have been possible than they might have gotten some cash out of the deal :o If true then it's yet another huge **** up by Bohs/Conway, when are Bohs fans going to stop believing anything this man says?
Gerry sticking to his guns.

How's it goin, first post. Just wondering if fenlon has the job and it looks like he has, are there many players out of contract waiting for the embargo to be lifted to re-sign that he could snap up on a free? I know the likes of Powell is under contract but are Shelley, Brennan, Oman and Keegan and the like? I'd say Carey could be his first signing
It must be galling for Bohs fans to realise that Rovers fans know more about what's going on in their club than they do. Terrible isn't it :DQuote:

Substitute Bohs for Fenlon's previously managed teams and it shows the league hasn't changed muchQuote:

One of the main reasons we parted company with Gareth Cronin was down to his having to do the A Licence course and who would be responsible for the fees and expenses incurred, including paying the wages he would have got from his day job whilst he took the time off apparently.

it is a step up i don't deny, but the fact that is a step up is a sad inditement of football in this country. it's not like he's joining a team in a good footballing country, scottish football is a joke and dundee are one of the worst teams yet a trophy winning in ireland must go there to progress.Quote:

Currently in fourth place behind the Old Firm and Hibs.
ok that is alot better, i thought they were like last but still i find it weird that its seen as a step up for a manager who has potential champions league football to join a 4th place scottish team.
Scottish football is pretty good IMO for a country with less than 5 million pop. Sure it is skewed by the old firm and has declined in recent years as a result of the all encompassing reach of the Premiership - however the interest/coverage in the league even setting aside the old firm is many times greater than here. While much of the perenial difficulties with our league are of our own making a lot of it when you compare it to Scotland is just a result of the different make up of the country. Football pretty much dominates sport in Scotland (leaving aside curling:)) whereas here it is much more diverse - GAA, rugby, horse racing, greyhound racing etc etc etc compete for attention here much more so than there. He is going to a club that have at least four times the crowd that Bohs get - much greater budget - better players , better chance to make his mark (and who have never been beaten by Barcelona in European competition!) - i'd be ****ed off too if I was a Bohs supporter (though as a city fan I have bigger worries) but I think this one is just a part of football.Quote:

I'm sure that played a part in his decision-making also.
Yeah he's still young enough to make a good career for himself over there. The progression from we'll say SPL to Championship to maybe Premiership is one that's been done before a few times. It's easier to do than LOI to Championship anyway I would think.
