Connor confirmed as new Dundalk manager.
Adds something to our Dundalk games now, can't wait to see the runt back in the Showgrounds again.
I didn't think any club would be foolish enough to appoint Connor again.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Thats funny because in these two threads all but a few of you thought he was a great manager and didnt want him to go.
If he gets us to the same level as he got yous and fecks off to another club i'll be more than happy.

To be fair to Sligoman and did not see too much there. Anyway no fans wants to see their manager walk out on them. I don't blame him for going to Bohs at the time but the way he went was very disrespectful and that more than anything is what got people's backs up. Looks like he can stilll talk bull though if he got a job bar Harps. Check up on his footballing career

Has Steve Bruce been on yet, or old friend, Mick McCarthy, begging to be put on the list for a pre-season
NEWSFLASH:
Dundalk announce new Youth Link with Wigan.
Connor: "Steve Bruce is my pal"
Listen lads, I as much as everyone else was left feeling a little bitter towards Sean Connor because of the way he left us for Bohs despite the fact that by that stage I had lost a lot of faith in his abilities as a manager but all that is in the past now and I think we should all move on from what seems to be something of an obsessive and in many ways pitiful loathing of the man and everything he has done since he left the club.
We as a club have moved on and its time to let him move on. We have all have made mistakes in our past and Sean Connor certainly has made a lot of mistakes but what remains to be seen now is has he learned from those mistakes.
The bottom line for us is that Sean Connor was the manager who got us back into the top division in Irish Soccer after years in the wilderness under managers who are a lot more deserving of our ire than he is.
Time to cut the guy a break and wish him luck!
Well said Redie, he did a decent job for Sligo and was hounded out of Bohs,deserves a chance and his teams try and play the game the right way!
was sure Kenna had the job wrapped up....oh well
Best of luck Sean, ya we jippo
Interesting that Dundalk only offered a 1 year deal, maybe they're not sure what their getting in to?
Kenna was offered the job first but declined!
SC was offered the job but there is a clause in his contract that he must report to the board about team selection if requested according to the papers?
Seems strange but who knows?
As for SC being a good manager - for us he was a necessary evil - his ego is something to behold and he has left his previous two clubs under a cloud (no smoke without fire) - but he got us where we needed to be and done a runner which was a blessing in disguise so this gives us rovers fans an excellent chance to be abusive to him in the dug out and we are grateful for that as well!
