Not surprising I suppose

Now we'll see if anyone else can do any better with this squad.
I know alot of Bray fans didnt like him and wanted him out but I thought he did a good job especially in the circumstances and I had a feeling the 4-0 cup defeat would do him in but Id have him as Town manager any day
Will Devo or Keith Long be in charge so till the end of the season??
I imagine it'll have to be someone who won't mind Devo pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Should he not just be installed as manager then? If that's going to be the case
What we need now is somebody who can give this team a bit of belief and sort us out tactically, cant see many suitable candidates for the job throwing their names in the hat. Gary Zambra and Adrian Kearns are 2 top coaches associated with the club, maybe they could do a job for the remainder of the season.:confused:Quote:

Moving forward, the manager's job is actually a good seat to be in between now and the end of the season. If the next manager saves us, they will be a hero, whereas if we finish bottom he won't get the blame. Previous to the Shels game this team had picked up in form (6 points from seven games as opposed to 4 points from 15 games) and we do have the players to increase our points tally by quite a way between now and the ned of the season.
Thanks to Eddie for his time at Wanderers, both as player and manager. I thought he got the team playing a good brand of football, but got a raw deal this season and now he's paid the price. The Shels game was probably the final straw really. The manager seemed to take all the blame this season, the players on the pitch absolved of responsibility. Some posters on this forum covered themselves in glory with personalized, vitriolic and barely literate abuse, the man deserved better.Quote:

I remeber him playing very well for us in 87/88 and then when he came back, the year we nearly won the league especially.
We should also remember that he had a great season as a manager a couple of years ago and was linked with bigger jobs at that stage.
Best of luck in the future Eddie
Any chance of Robbie Doyle coming back?
think he was playing for one of the brayzil teams at the weekend along with collie james
Ardmore Rovers Senior TeamQuote:

Bray have never appointed a manager from outside. John Holmes, Tony McGuirke and Eddie all came from within. Maybe now is the time for an outsider. I don't think the timing is right for Keith Long or Adrian Cairns to take over as they are only new in management.
what chance of that happening though? especially with qualifiers around the corner.
Didn't know he was the new Shels manager. Ahh well that's him gone so. McDonnell is a good shout and no reason why he couldn't do both.Quote:

this club has learned nothing , in the last couple of seasons he was manager he missed quite a few games due to buisness commitments . long ball football

I suppose they are both cold, damp windswept hellholes with little going for them. :pQuote:

Grand thanks for setting the record straight on that. Only thought of him myself assuming he wasn't living there full-time and they hadn't got summer football. So that's Johnny gone anyone for Roddy Collins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:
