Works out for every one. He was very disappointing for us and on a decent wage. Absolutely no loss (and guarenteed to score the winnerin his first game back)Quote:

with a near full-time setup and the money being splashed by conorsQuote:

I'm confident enough that we'll be able to finish ahead of Bray, Galway and Drogheda/Harps. However, the first aim is to finish 7th and avoid the playoffs. Anything on top of that is a bonus. :)Quote:

Not meaning to have a go but Pat's are clearly going backwards from where they were. They're going back to part-time and getting rid of about half their squad.
The other jobs Kenna looked at in Ireland were Dundalk and Rovers, possibly the only 2 Premier Division clubs looking to move forward next season.
Obviously Pat's are going to finish above United next season and they've European football but Jeff might very well regret the move.
Or maybe all isn't as bad in Inchicore as some would have you believe ;)
We'll see what squad he cobbles together.
It makes me laugh everytime a club gets promoted back into the Premier that their fans think they will do quite well. There is such a huge gulf between what you have been used to for the past number of years and what your about to play in.Quote:

My loyalty is always with the manager - Best of luck Ian Foster.
Jeff has lost all credibility with Galway and can see him upsticks on Pats before the season starts :rolleyes:
Good luck to Fozzy is spot on .
Well I don't know if he'll be gone that quick but he's obviously looking for a job in England and will probably continue applying for jobs over there even while in situ at Pat's.Quote:

AFAIK (Dundalk fans, correct me if I'm wrong) they'll have only two players from their 1st division squad next season (2 players who were under contract and so weren't released. I wouldn't expect Connor to give either much of a look-in, maybe Mulvenna). So while the fans might see a huge gulf the players won't, since none of them were around last seasonQuote:
