We can now plan for next season bigtime.....:D
Well maybe now you will win the League. Do not be surprised if a few ex Dublin based players end up in The Brandywell this season. And of course with David Forde gone, you lot are BOUND to win the League :D
Like most I predicted it as soon as Kenny left and in the end it turned out to be a 'worlds biggest secret' moment. Although good appointment for Derry.
Don't start this bloody argument again....
Who cares anyway? Forde isn't even an eircom League player anymore.
Nice and mature response there.
Can't blame a man for wanting to be paid.
Patrick Jennings is a better keeper than David Forde. No decent goalkeeper has ever been produced by Galway United from their own ranks since entering the League.....
Good luck to Nutsy, a good bloke whatever some people may think of him. Anyone who answers a Bohs fan's stick by holding up 4 fingers and saying "four in a row" deserves a good job:D
Of course I'm bitter,why wouldn't i be. If you could show me 1 football fan who wouldn't be bitter in the same circumstances,i'll tell you they're not a real football fan. I'm bitter about this just as Derry fans were bitter about us winning the league,at least i have the honesty to admit it though.
My previous message in this thread that was edited - What the f*ck?
This forum has gone to sh*t.
Pat will be disappointed to lose Forde. I just took a day away from computers and news etc, and I come back to Pat as Derry Manager. It just doesn't feel right, but things move on. Saddened but c'est la vie.
Derry just lost a good manager in Kenny and now they gained another good one in Pat ....This most be sickening to Shels fans though ......All these people leaving Shels isnt good for our league ....Shels are in Champians league next year and need there manager and players ......Pat leaving is a big blow to them .
I fear a heavy defeat for Shels against whoever they get in the Champions league next season. Something which will reflect bad on the league and keep the barstoolers at the bar:(.
If Shels can at least retain a few players they should be able to negotiate the first qualifying round as seeds. Even a very depleted side should be able to beat the likes of the Luxembourg champions. Some of the better non seeded teams might be difficult if Shels underwent a total collapse. I do hope they can hold onto some quality by the time of the CL first qualifying round.
I think it's quite illuminating that these provincials feel they can't challenge for the title without a Dublin manager (e.g. Rico, Kenny, Fenlon) keeping the unruly natives in check with a firm imperial hand.
Forde is a good keeper but is almost guaranteed at least one major mess up per game.
Will Fenlon have a big wage & transfer budget like at Shels? He doesn't exactly have a track record of developing players as he more or less bought in all ther Shels players as already proven players.
Well City have only ever won the southern league with Derry men at the helm - the first of which was with the most successful manager ever in domestic football here (Jim McLaughlin) - so that speaks volumes about the relative merits of Dubs and provincials, even if yees do make-up close to 40% of the Republic's population...... :rolleyes:
How's your club doing in its search for a new Manager anyway ? Oh, wait.....
Ahhhhh yes - it's a great day for Irish football. The most succesful manager in recent years has left a small club on the verge of bankruptcy to join a big club who will have the cheek to actually pay him and his players in-full and on-time. How dare he...
Any bitterness you feel about Fenlon leaving Shels to join Derry should be directed to a Mr Ollie Byrne at either Tolka Park or Mountjoy Prison. If he wasn't determined for Shlbourne to weigh-anchor so deeply up sh!t-creek, you probably wouldn't have lost Fenlon at all in the first place. It was only a few weeks back that he turned down Bohs, so Ollie is clearly and solely to blame for your little bitterness.
Ahhh yes - a great day for Irish football....
Didn't the last manager to "win" the league with Shels walk away too?
to get back to the actual subject though, do people think that this is a good move for Derry? Maybe it's just me, but I always thought that Fenlon underachieved a little at Shels. I know he has a good record, but given the funds that were at his disposal, did he really get the best out of his teams?
