eanna doesn't read what I write either. as I say pat and the team haven't been as great as people say but let's give it a couple of seasons. that's all I am saying. anyone like eanna that things our football has been perfect really needs to get to the games a bit more (will eanna fall for it?)
as for me "griping". have i yet been proved wrong?
anyway fair play to peader for bringing the topic up
No problem Dalo, you're wonderful too :DQuote:

i honestly cant believe ye are questioning d manager after half of his first season in charge. i dont think people are claiming pat is a hero coz hes not[he will b though] i think people are appreciating what he is trying to do for US YHE FANS. we have longed for a succesful team dolan realises dis and is trying to give it 2 us. he is no genius tactically but what hes done in in his time here so far is brought the club up a level off the pitch and he has us i a position in the league were we are fighting for europe and possibly more but i feel givin a chance were going to b a very succesful club. the youth we have here is frightning they can dominate irish football for years if they want it dolan will make em want it coz he appreciates and knows we want it. let us not ignore the contribution brian lennox is having at this club.
That's where we were last season too until the last few games.Quote:

Apparently Bobby Robson is looking for a job.
I know the perfect place for him ;)
See ya Pat.
Time for you to make some other unfortunate club the "greatest!"
well, two of those three are right anyway...Quote:

Think Brian may have had enough of him too.
We need a man with a football brain if we want to be more than just a third placed team.
You started this thread over a year ago before his first season was even over, that's hardly giving him much of a chance to prove himself!Quote:

the squad is a hell of a lot better and will be better still next season..the club (background staff,etc.) has improved since Dolan took over and I for one are prepared to give him time to transform the club into one that can consistently challenge for the league for years to come and not just be one season wonders....that means building a solid foundation for the club for years to come...(look at the average age of the team)...1 and a half seasons is nothing in terms of football....I dont agree with everything Dolan is doing and some of the decisions of late are puzzling but I am prepared to give him time to get things right and build his team......he has yet to spend a euro on transfers and has been turned down by some very good players(not his fault- location/money reasons)..I for one will be getting behind him and team for the rest of the season and all of next. I will make my judgment on Dolan at the end of next season.
Brian Lennox is no fool. He gave Dolan the job based on his qualities as a manager. Performance-wise, City are heading in the right direction. You build a whol;e club, not just a team. Every indicator I can see about the future of the club is positive. I agree especially with the last post, where it says that some decisions are a bit puzzling, but who is to say that these are not good professional judgements? I have a lot of faith in Pat Dolan. I am looking forward to another season and a half under his management. So far, his success has been in having the balz to take decisions which might not produce instant results, but which are building strong foundations for the future development of the club as a whole. Lennox is constantly asking us as fans to be patient, which is good business advice to people who are part of a sound long term plan. You don't ditch a good plan half way through. Remember, Sky TV did not turn a profit until it was five years on the road. Alex Ferguson won nothing with Man U for his first four years. This club is going somewhere. It needs the support of us, the fans, to succeed. Better to be behind the team and management, rather than be on top of them. :ball:
