Sligo could just go further afield again. The hiring of Bucko was actually a little left field for them, as he was an established LOI Manager.

John Russell is strongly linked with the Sligo job he has his badges Vinny also linked too I see.Quote:

Ryan is a secondary school teacher in Dublin obviously he would be free during summer months for their training schedule but don't see how that could work for the run-in from September, I believe Morris was still living and working in Dublin which didn't exactly work out
He could take a career break maybe. Though doing so for any LOI manager's job, let alone Waterford's, isn't the smartest idea.

Waterford’s owner doesn’t seem very good at the managerial hiring process!
Reportedly question one in Richard Forrest's interview process is ‘who is your favourite footballer?’ And if the answer is anything but George Forrest he ends the interview there and then ;)Quote:

I couldn't see Bucko jumping straight back into a volatile club after getting a pay off
I would have thought Reynolds would be an obvious candidate for a return. Surely Tommy Barrett would be in the frame too. Could well be a job nobody with a profile wants
We'll give you Keith Long if you want him?
Most fans are happy enough to leave Hunt and Breen in charge as they have won 5 games in a row and we are seeing a better style of football. All the hiring and firing of managers in recent years probably has damaged the club in getting a new manager. I didn't hear anything about Cronin being linked with the job.
I more than likely misheard it tbh Trevy as I didnt hear it properly the whole conversation!Quote:

From that article -
Is that the million that's incorrect?Quote:
Although, the fee suggested is incorrect
That'd be a huge amount for an LoI academy player
Is the transfer window now open for Loi?
July 1st.
He's going to their underage setup.Quote:

Congratulations... Sligo?... must be delighted with that appointment? >.>
I had a strong feeling that Sligo were going to appoint JR. Interesting to see who he will get in as his no 2. Think Sligo will go places with JR than under LB. He seems to have great knowledge of academy and local talent.Quote:

Don't know about the figure but a great move for Josh Keeley. Hope it goes really well for him. Great young man and may he have a long and successful career.
Wilson went off injured in the last game. Just wonder is it cover for Wilson or just bolstering the defence which has been leaking in goals.Quote:

Yeah it’s a strange one alright.Quote:

Any word on Liam Kerrigan is he out of contract with UCD?
