Better make sure you have your collective ass covered, legally speaking. Seanie boy loves the high court.
I take offence. What's wrong with the dole?Quote:

What exactly do GUST/ the management committee expect of him with a team of kids and amateurs over there after the club lurching from one disaster to the next?
the fault is with gust not sean.
Skullduggery? If there was such a thing it came from the Leeson when he gave Connor a massive contract just before he gave up control of the club. GUST had feck all to do with it.. they were and are stuck with him.Quote:

He should look for a deal and walk away.
As for the blame being with 'GUST not Sean'... it's neither's fault really.. Leeson and those that bought his horse crap are to blame.
Skullduggery? Seriously? 5 points from 24 games. That's 0.2 points a game. In any other league he'd have been sacked months ago.
edit: at any other team he'd have been sacked months ago.

His squad (pre-transfer window) was probably better than Drogheda's and had more exceptional players than UCD's.
It also cost more than Drogheda's.Quote:

Well if they were going to sack him they'd have sacked him. A vote of no confidence is a polite way of saying "quit please."
I don't think they have the power to sack him though, hence the statement saying it was up to the board of directors now?Quote:

Very poor statement. I agree they need rid of him though.
I don't think anyone could do any worse. he's a horrendous manager, and seems to be a bit of a **** too. Not a good combinationQuote:

Now, Dodge, if you scroll back up the thread, you'll discover that Seanie has a genius for spotting players. I expect he will bring in ten or eleven great ones from his 'personal friend' Steve Bruce at Sunderland and the push for Europa League begins in earnest next weekend.Quote:

Simple. There would not be a Galway United without them.
Things have not got worse on their watch- they've uncovered the scale of the damage done by the previous regime.
Also GUST wasn't set up when the Management Committe starting running the club. GUST has been around for years.Quote:

I just don't understand the wisdom or intent behind this statement. The Galway Utd Management Committee issues a public statement on their vote of no confidence in the manager and call on the board of directors to take the "appropriate action".
1) Did the Management Committee express their dissatisfaction with the Board directly and discuss the possibilities?
2) What was / is the Boards position or view on this?
3) If it is the case that Seannie has a 3 year contract and is not willing to resign or do a deal on compensation, do the Management Committee suggest that he is sacked, with the probably resultant claim for his contract to be paid up in full?
4) Why go public on this issue and risk creating further dissention from the Galway public as they observe further issues of division within the club? Is this really in the best interests of the football club?
Maybe they should have turned the statement into a DVD presentation.
Maybe you will stop posting like a gimp but that's unlikely to happen.Quote:

So Seanie has lost the dressing room?Quote:

Foster & Kenna both left the club for better deals one honorably the other cowardly.

Here is how the Irish Times interpreted the statement:
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/...301203858.htmlQuote:
AFTER THE final whistle last night and another defeat, the Galway United Management Committee announced they had passed a vote of no confidence in manager Sean Connor, adding to the turmoil at the troubled club.
"Added turmoil" is hardly the road forward for a club in crises. Why go public on this?
If it is intended to put pressure on Connor to resign without a pay-off, it is a very long shot to succeed.
On the other hand if the Management Committee are looking to put pressure on the board of directors..............
Galway fans can you clarify where the Board sit on this one?
The Irish Examiner:
Quote:
The troubled club want Connor out, but haven't the financial wherewithal to pay off his contract which has two-and-a-half years to run.

According to a post on the GUST forum, the directors want him kept. But they keep a very low profile indeed.
Very strange situation.
Fingal was definitely the right club for you so...Quote:
