    Yeah. He only took charge of one competetive game against Bray Wanderers in the last game of the previous season.

    He was in the dug out for one competitive game, last game of the 2006 season Vs. Bray.

    Was given free role with transfers and that in pre-season but was never officially given a contract. Think he left by mutual consent. Weird situation to say the least.

    Glad he didn't stay because we wouldn't have Cook if he had. Not sure what sort of job he'd do with Cork, he stressed his desire to play 4-3-3 football with us, which seems weird to know yer exact formation before you've seen any players or what the teams are like.

    I think McDonald had a major hand in our decision to go full-time, which ultimately put us in the position we were in this season.
    He signed a lot of very questionable players for us, while forcing out players like O'Grady who couldn't commit to full-time (of course, he came back when McDonald left)
    His playing and coaching career seems to also suggest that he can't/won't stick any job for very long.

    He seems to have a good CV as well. Of the guys believed to be in the running, how many of them have their UEFA Badges?

    They can't afford to pay the wages of the players they have/had and all their linked with is expensive managers with expensive wages.

    Will the nightmare of the Arkaga experience and its aftermath ever end? Ive been a city supporter since the club was founded and I thought I had seen it all but the last year or so has just left me so down hearted. For the first time ever I even started to miss loads of games and only went now and again to the cross. And its not just city its the whole league.

    If it were easy then everyone would be doing it Heliodorus its compounded with all the doom and gloom of the recession. Off season is always bad. I wouldn't worry too much.
