Chippie (think he's a Bohs fan) on Shelsweb says he as good as gone and he's usually sharp with the inside news.

Another fella says he has it on good authority that Mahon turned it down.

Ah, the joys of the rumour mill.

A source once close to Alan Mathews says he's taken the job.

Pete Mahon has definitely turned down the Shels job. Its a fact.

**BohsPartisan** · 14/01/2007, 9:16 AM

Good stuff. He'd have been insane to take that job.

**pineapple stu** · 14/01/2007, 9:36 AM

Thank God for that (assuming it's true).

I take it then Pete got what he was looking for?

here's hoping lads. and as has been said, hopefully there will be the corollary benefit of one or two experienced additions to our own squad, presuming that this was one of mahon's "demands" to the board.

The Evening Herald said Pete was lining up move for Barry Ferguson, Matt Gregg and Jason McGuinness.

Now I know it's the Herald, but still. It didn't say which club he was lining up the moves for, and we've already been linked with Gregg. Is he after McGuinness and Ferguson too? I would have thought we'd have been after more attack-minded players, to be honest. I would have said Tony Mac and Paul Crowley would have covered Ferguson's position, and Allie Mac and Conor Kenna are one of the best centre-back pairings in the league.

Fintan Cassidy is on Shels' forum saying Pete's turned the job down as well. Make of that what you will.

mcguinness was bohs best attacking threat when they threw him upfield at dalyer in november, not that that's saying much.

**pineapple stu** · 14/01/2007, 1:44 PM

What, against us?

Don't think that's saying much at all, no.

**Poor Student** · 14/01/2007, 1:57 PM

At Shels Mahon was looking to rebuild an entire team and squad from scratch with whatever players were left available so I wouldn't take that as a sign he wants either of those for UCD, we don't need them and they'd be no improvement.

Edit: Fintan Cassidy seems to have fallen out with Ollie and turned on him. I don't know why but I think it might be to do with annoucing the Dillon transfer when it hadn't happened so I don't think he's as in the know as he was a few weeks back. There's a few people saying Mahon's staying.

It's not going to happen as you will all discover if you check out the other thread on this issue. Press Release issued earlier this afternoon, by UCD, confirms that Pete is staying.
