the only spaniard who would be interested in that job would be Manuel from Fawlty Towers

Just tried ringing him there to see if he wanted the job but there was nobody there so I left a message on his answering machine!

[Rambling Along]

I'd just like to make a suggestion:

Can I ask whoever gets to pick the new manager to think long and hard and to strongly consider all local applicants because even though Hendo was technically a Dub he was a local. He was a Cobh Ramblers fan and hopefully still is.
But while Hendo was in charge there was a sense of pride amongst the players and fans that was un-rivaled by any other manager of this great club. I never felt so much joy watching Ramblers than while Hendo was in charge and I put that down to the fact he lived in Cobh and knew what the people of Cobh demanded.

The Dave Hill era was good but there was always something missing but with Hendo that void was filled and in my opinion it was local pride.

I tried as well but BT said the phone was 'faulty'...............

I'll get me coat.

[bellavistaman]

A sad day for anyone with a love for Ramblers

Hendo is a legend for what he has achieved

I cant see the club getting a better man or manager, a true gentleman

Thats the closest i could get to summing it up, gutted!!

[marty]

It says a lot he has resigned now when theres still a chance we may stay up it must have been really difficult for him to work with such an amature board,when next season starts its hard to see what kind of a team we have im sure a lot of them will feel time to move on as he was the one of the attractions at the club..Not sure if he would be ready for the big Rovers job but Cork Pity couldnt do much wrong with him as no.2 though id be throughly gutted

[ramsfan]

stayed silent for a long time but have to make a comment here , it is a disgrace that the best manager we have probably ever had and ever will have has been put in this unteniable position, the people who run this club should be ashamed they way they have let this great club become a laughing stock in irish football, bertie told less lies to the mahon tribunal than they have done to the fans this year, we have been treated like idiots and the crap has continued month after month day by day the people who really cared about this club are being cast aside and forced to give up the club they hold dear to there heart , shame on all those in charge for bringing us to this low point , it is another sad day in the life of cobh ramblers and another embarassment in a way that has become common place for this season

[bellavistaman]

Ya likewise, cant see any justice in him being matthews no.2, he better than that. And the fact they our biggest rivals too,

Well Said Ramsfan! Unless every board member resigns during the post-season I will not be renewing my season ticket.

I dont agree with ye but i have to say why not do something bout it, why make the club suffer and the team by walking away???

[Rambling Along]

Condsidering the day thats in it, I think it's only right we observe what Hendo called his proudest moment:

[don ramo]

who said it was the board, as far as i know hendo had there full support, who on the board would even want rid of our greatest manager, 2 weeks before the end of the season, i would want some clarity given on this decision before i point fingers

Henderson to resign as Cobh manager


Cobh Ramblers manager Stephen Henderson is to leave his position at the end of the current season.

Henderson, who took over at the club four years ago, will resign after the final league game against Derry City.

He said: 'I have had a fantastic time as manager and may I say I have treated it as a huge honour to manage this football club.

'I always said I will not walk away from this club a bitter man, but I have felt some resentment in recent times, so I feel it is best I go now before that resentment turns me into someone I do not want to be.'

Cobh, who came up from the First Division last season as champions, are currently second from bottom in the table with two games remaining. They are just two points from the safety of ninth spot, currently occupied by Finn Harps.

Yeah we knew that. In fact we started a thread about it!

[jebus]

Where's he off to lads? There was talk of him taking over at Limerick before Kerley came back, and given the job he has done I don't see him leaving us soon.

As a Limerick fan I have to say he was an absolute ape of an individual, but obviously did good things with ye

[bellavistaman]

Good english by the way

[Sam_Heggy]

I honestly think that the people who are giving Hendo stick on here have obviously never met or talked to the man.
I had the pleasure of speaking to Hendo for a few hours after our last game in Colmans. He is an absolute gentleman and he is a Ramblers fan through and through. He talked football all night and was so passionate about his ideas.
It obviously must be bad when Hendo announces this with only 2 games to go. All I can say is best of luck Hendo, lets hope its not too long before your back in management again.

p.s. give me a buzz if you fancy moving to the beautiful North- West

[Monkfish]

Had one encounter with the man and he seemed decent enough. (although as a fellow Lims fan and foot.ie poster said to me) Its a bit $hitty of him to do this with 2 games to go in a relegation battle. No shortage of out of work managers doing the rounds at the moment but I tip Roddy to be on his way down south next year. Sad but true folks.
