Pats / Galway

[brianw82]

Cook interviewed for the Shamrock Rovers job. He'd leave Sligo in a heartbeat if he got a better offer. Foster would leave galway tomorrow if he got a btter deal. Thats how football works

Seriously, get real folks.

I said he wouldn't leave "in this fashion"

If he did get a better job nobody would begrudge him, but he'd at least let the chairman know and go through the proper channels.

I can't help but think this is all because of the betting scandal your players we involved in !

I like your moxy

[Rovers Maniac]

Should be 'were'. I can't help but think i made that mistake thinking about the betting scandal you lot were involved in. God is against you jebus told me.

lads ffs move on jeff gave great service to galway and is only trying to better his career as would anybody else the way in which he moved was not ideal but when opportunity knocks you must take as it make not happen again.

Keep digging Dodge. Just because some people still believe in Integrity and Honesty doesnt mean you have to slate them.

No Galway Fan would have a problem with Jeff leaving at the end of last season but he strung the club along lied through his teeth and then after accepting a new contract and going back on the payroll he pulled a stunt like he did on Monday what other way would you expect them to react.

its admirable, but it won't help them survive the LOI world

St. Pats have shown no faith in Jeff Kenna either - they only offered him a 1 year contract whereas the new Galway boss Foster has got a 2 year deal. I think quietly in the background Sligo Rovers are waiting in the wings to upstage both and finish above both Galway and St. Pats.

Pats took a decision before Christmas to only offer one year contracts to players and staff. Nobody in the country knows where they're going to be financially in 12 months

I see Norwich sacked their manager Glenn Roeder yesterday. Will Jeff Kenna be applying for the job?

Has shown at Galway he has the ability to manage a club in a relegation battle with little or no money for transfers

[CuanaD]

A contract had been offered and accepted by Kenna and he was accepting pay as per this new contract. Monday afternoon Kenna called Nick Leeson asked for permission to speak to Pats and was told that he did not have permission. Leeson contacted St Pats and informed them that they did not have permission to speak to him. It then became obvious that Pat's had already illegally approached Kenna.
Leeson said they could have got into a legal dispute with Pats but decided not to go down that path.

Reminiscent of the Bohs property fiasco (if Bohs = Kenna and Pats & Galway = the developers) contract offered but not signed, but payments were made & accepted

What do Sligo Rovers have to do with anything? You could pick out any random team and say the same.

[Saint_Charlie]

We've signed Paul Peschisolido as Asst. Manager today too.

[Louth4sam]

That could be a nice link up with Birmingham, he's married to the MD isn't he?

[Dodge]

He is but has played for several clubs since his time there.

Karen Brady - first drooled over on the first season ever of Fantasy Football with Baddiel, Skinner and Statto.

[Louth4sam]

haha yeah i remember that. Roddy Doyle was on in that series too wasn't he. That was a quality series, if you could do something similar with Irish personalities and the league of ireland that would fairly get us some exposure.

[Tir Oilean]

Funny how you think Kenna is a cert to go back to England while not mentioning the fact that his English assistant is at least as likely to go home to England

Quite simply his English assistant showed integrity by not going back on his word

[Mr A]

One would expect that the facts that GU offered more than Pats and that his ambition was to get into management anyway had nothing to do with his decision.

[QUOTE=sligoman;1086611]I personally didn't think Kenna did that good of a job anyway, as you'll see from previous posts, but what I'm saying it's not the best preperation for ye and could really drag ye down from the start.
