i could say the same thing about Derry fans and the way they go on about Fenlon here but i wont because its their right and its a rivalry and a bit of banter. When i feel its appropriate ill say whatever i like about Kenny in response. Tough sh1t. You dont have to read it.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

Back home, meanwhile, Stephen Kenny and Pat Fenlon have again fallen out. Kenny took offence to Fenlon reminding people of the gap between Bohs and Derry last season and suggested his fellow Dubliner should acknowledge that some of Derry’s difficulties stemmed from Fenlon’s ill-fated spell in charge of the Candystripes in 2007.
While it may seem to childish to have brought up the gap, Fenlon only mentioned it because he was irked by being asked about his failure to beat Derry (aside from a penalty shoot-out victory in the FAI Cup final) as Bohs’ manager. And it’s not a bad retort, is it?
But it prompted Kenny to highlight how unsuccessful Fenlon’s signings for Derry were. It is certainly that results during his short stint made it almost impossible for the club to qualify for Europe. But, while the loss of revenue was significant, to directly link it to the sale of Paddy McCourt and Niall McGinn is a little far-fetched. Regardless of the club’s financial position, those two players would always have been sold once Celtic came knocking with a half-decent offer.
Furthermore, he did not mention how, during Fenlon’s reign, Derry collected a cool €140,000 for loaning Ciarán Martyn to Fredrikstad while they also managed to rake in close to €20,ooo from St Pat’s for Dave Rogers, signed by Fenlon on a free, as was every other player he brought to the Brandywell.
Anyhow, Fenlon proved something of a spoilsport by not rising to the bait, other than to say to The Irish Sun that he had won four league titles in six years and was concentrating on trying to win a fifth. Miaow!

Fenlon has now also shown disrespect to Cork after they beat Bohs at Dalymount. Instead of congratulating the Cork team as what most managers would have done, Fenlon has a go at the Cork players for over celebrating their win. His comment, 'you'd think they won the league' shows disrespect and arrogance that appears to embedded in not only Fenlon, but the clubs supporters.
The difference with kenny and Fenlon is simple, Kenny has not ruined or bankrupt any club....Fenlon so far has done it at Shels and is well on the way to repeating the feat at Bohs.....oh and also, Kenny has a touch of class....Fenlon on the other hand , couldn't spell it...
Fenlon didn't bankrupt Shels. Ollie Byrne did.
About 5 years+, judging by the hard-on you still have for Stephen Kenny.....
yeah, we really miss him and the way he'd look at ye.
