There are players with experience in the various squads that should be standout leaders but just dont or havent like Derry last season and I'd say Rovers since Finn left. To use old Dundalk examples of O'Donnell and Sheilds, on the front foot as players and in their expectations of others playing around them - just captain material that'd eek out results by sheer will. There's a lack of that in some expensive sides currently. When you see Galway and Drogs its not just leadership but every man motivated is that coach led purely?

Lynch needs time, Higgins had plenty.
The bottle job last year was possibly unforgivable, though the players are to blame as well.
On top of that, we were so boring to watch.
Personally, I'd have been happy for Higgins to go at the end of the 2023 season. It was clear then it wasn't working.
Hahaha never twigged it was him that's brilliantI’d say a few of the fans are rapidly falling out of love with football, they must just think what’s the point anymore
According to reports Pats have got a brand new bag.
Nice double entendre.

Colin Healy appointed new manager at Kerry FC,big appointment that…

I've been of the opinion that the Kerry management team needed experience. I wasn't sure how that could unfold with Conor McCarthy being retained but seems that has been all arranged!
Conor McCarthy's role changed from Head Coach to manager during the off season. I thought that closed the door on an agreeable arrangement for a more experienced manager but evidently not!

That’s a great appointment by Kerry. Makes sense for Healy given it’s relatively close to home and it’s not a high pressure job so there’s as good a level of job security as you can get in LOI management really

There weren't expectations, there are now!
Yep - expectations definitely higher now. Not sure length of contract, but I’m assuming it’s more or less a full time role also?
Yep ambitious move by Kerry .Delighted for Healy what will happen to his action against the FAI?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Not a great amount of detail in the Kerryman article, but yes, you'd assume so. The top three apart, not a great deal separating Athlone and ourselves on 10 from UCD in 6th on 15, so plenty of potential for any club who can build some momentum - bit more of a gap to Treaty and Wexford, but you've to walk first before you can run!
Expectations are definitely higher. The target, like many clubs, has got to be challenging for the playoffs. Kerry haven't hired John Caulfield or Keith Long though!!

John McGovern, who scored in the Irish Cup Final for Dungannon Swifts, has signed for Shamrock Rovers "for a six-figure sum":

Breaking the LOI record for an incoming transfer on a lad that scored 13 league goals up North this season seems a bit odd. He scored 1 league goal the season before and 5 the season before that

On the other hand their other options are 2 players that are over the hill and a kid who may miss a game because he gets grounded for playing Fortnite too late on a school night. Desperation leads to strange choices but I think the 6 figure sum in unconfirmed for the minute so may not be too egregious.
The 'over-the-hill' lads are scoring goals and Noonan is going to be a superstar, love watching him play, but we are still a striker short and we've been after McGovern for a while - I first heard the rumours in January. Been watching him since then and he looks very good, albeit in a crappy league.
Rovers have money so shelling out on a young, very highly-rated striker with a high ceiling and resale value is a no brainer for me.
