    I heard Enda Curran to Longford is a done deal.

    Who that?

    Athlone supposedly invited applications for the job before sitting down with Roddy. According to Roddy that is. During the week he makes a passionate plea to the board that he wants the job urges the board to get in touch.

    Transpires that he had spoken to BBC foyleisde telling them how Athlone understand he has desires to challenge for the league title in the next couple of years with a bigger club and Derry is a "hotbed".

    Athlone have supposedly refused to budge on their projected budget for their first season back in the premier, and Roddy is stirring the pot telling supporters hes heard nothing. Reality is he wants more money, money beyond Athlone's means.

    Talk of Mick Cooke being interested in the job. If Athlone could tie that up quickly it could be a real coup for them.

    Roddy is a busted flush at Premier level

    Roddy looking for money that the club don't have?? Never!! Fair play to Athlone on not budging. If they get Mick Cooke that would be a good appointment for them.

    There's a strange sense of irony here.

    Roddy Collins asks for more money at Athlone and is shown the door.

    Mick Cooke asks for more money at Drogheda and is shown the door.

    Athlone approach Mick Cooke about the vacant job.

    Let's hope Roddy goes to Drogheda too.

    Roddy did originally, as far as i know, ask for double of what our budget was going to be. Which would be up there with the top teams in Ireland if we gave it to him. He then (supposedly) told Athlone he would stay on for what was originally offered, and has since not been offered a deal. Mick Cooke has applied for the job. So if Roddy is re-appointed i am praying Cooke gets it Johnny Glynn is a good coach and all but isnt proven in them Premier. Needs to be sorted asap and i hope the board stand by what they said, and have an appointment announced this Friday.

    Its mad, he puts in the graft and gets Athlone up, and fair play but jebus wept at least get up and cut your teeth in top flight and then start calling the shots. He had a chance to redeem himself and show he can turn it around for teams but this has undone all that, clubs can afford to take the gamble on it anymore, chríst another thread is debating the fact the first div needs another team in to just survive.
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    I hear that he will be bringing O'Brien, Prendegast, McNally, Byrne, & Schlingermann with him if he gets it. That will strengthen your squad a fair bit. A great manager and half a team, not a bad deal.

    Bohs fans seem to think Gary Dempsey and Jason Byrne are off to them, Dempsey will be with Bray if he decides not to retire, and byrne said devlin has first refusal

    O'Brien? Who's already said he wants to stay at Drogs and wants to finish his career there?
