As opposed to hearing from the player, through a mate's mate...

Macy, still third hand info as you will agree...offical statements are the only "truth"... it would be very unprofessional for any club to comment on private talks with a player whom they did not sign....

at the end of the day he has only been a division pne player and for any club to fork out that sort of money for a player that is unproven at the higher level so madness to me.

Still, hard to believe that the same figure was plucked from the air by 4 clubs.

Too much anyway, even at the reduced rate, and Keegan as player/coach (which I hope he is), then Matthews made the correct move.

Believe it or not, I'm not that interested in what the players earn... However, I won't let someone spinning on a players behalf bullsh!t about the club/ Matthews when it's common knowledge that we were talking to him or his representative. There's plenty of other things to justifiably attack the club on - like the lack of news on the accounts, where we are at licence wise, this rumoured increase in ticket prices, the website etc etc...

Going to leave Alan Murphy now but what I was told by him was that he wanted to come to Longford,was told that Alan Matthews was going to ring him but he's still waiting for the call..To quote Matthews "why go after Alan Murphy when I've got Dessie Baker."

On the subject of Keegan,he's not coming as coach this season, Alan has got a coach (a familar face to the club) but not going public yet (his words not mine)....

I have heard who it is! Lets play a game and guess the initials of the first three parts of this mans name which was mentioned to me in good faith at the weekend!

And the words are.....

D.O.N.

Anyone who gets this I will buy them a buckfast for breakfast!

Don Juan Demarco, the week that's in it an all?

**Xlex** · 11/02/2004, 8:22 AM

Does DON have his badges and it's a shame we can't leave the Kenny era behind us... Keegan's signing is all the more weird...

**Martinho II** · 11/02/2004, 9:49 PM

I am not sure that he is fully qualified. I will find out tommorrow.

Keegan is goin to be doin some coaching as well as far as i've heard..He has some coaching badges and wants to do more..Derek O' Neill is a highly qualified coach, he's attached to us for this season as he needs to be coaching at a senior club to get his UEFA Pro Licence..Highly regarded by those that had him before i believe..
