Meh. Don't know what he's like as a coach. He wasn't a coach at Bray. He was a bit of a motivator but that's about it.

We'll just have to see how he does. I haven't a clue what kind of manager he'll be.

As i said on another thread you couldn't have got a more professional to do the job. He's one of the nicest bloke's i've ever meet through football and is a complete pro. He knows he's football inside out and has coached before as well as being assistant manager at Galway United. I think you have got a great manager in the making and i for one really hope he does a great job.
Best of luck to him.

Maybe Skippy will get a reprieve and be offered a new contract.

Jason Byrne was showing up at those parties years after he left so I wouldn't read too much into that...

I think Alan Gough is a great appointment by Longford. I assume he will do a player manager job because he was excellent for us last year when he got a couple of games under his belt again. I am very sorry to see him go but Skippy should now be offered a new contract as he had started last season very well - international duty for Skippy was the reason that Alan Gough was signed in the first place. Best of Luck Alan!!!!

im very surprised by the appointment but one of the committee knows of him which seems to make it easier.. forgot he was no 2 to cousins.. talk in longford of him bein player manager which will be good as he offers great experience to the team of mostly youngsters.
