Kenna resigns fron the Saint

**Dunny** · 20/09/2009, 11:02 PM

Was told it was in the paper today(Sunday) that Pat's want John Gill for the rest of the season, any truth in it?

Pats source, usually reliable. Would be really suprised if some Pats posters on this Forum haven`t heard the same report.

Whats with all the negative posts about Rodgers, has he been very poor this season?

Interested in the view of Galway and Pats people on Rodgers or Ryan??? Who got the better deal...

**Sheridan** · 21/09/2009, 11:10 AM

Galway did, but I've never rated either of them. Rogers has improved a lot in the last third of the season, he was a liability previously.

Ryan better by miles. No contest.

Kenny also had discussions with Rovers prior to MON`s appointment. Kenny said he would take the job if offered, Rovers told him he could submit his application and be interviewed like every other candidate! Kenny wouldn`t risk applying and not getting the job, so he stayed with Derry for one last fruitless season.

All very interesting but unless your a mind reader how do you know so much about what he was thinking at the time?
Also, you have a lot of info on a lot of other clubs. I'd like to know your sources. Could be all bull**** in fairness and we have no way of proving or disproving any of it.

I wouldn't be boasting about the others never being relegated as there's one thing you're omitting -THEY'VE NEVER BEEN PROMOTED!!!!!

That 11/12 is better than any team Bohs or Rovers can put out BASED ON PREVIOUS FORM (like with other clubs

) !!!!!!!!

Thats a ****ing cracking team, yet we are 4th from bottom staring relegation in the face. They are all well paid players too some get more than Bohs and Rovers players but their players are actually playing for their manager/club.

if the Pats players are so good (better than Bohs/Rovers) the manager would not make that much of a difference. The simple fact is they are not as good. That is why Bohs and Rovers are battling to WIN the League and Pats are battling to STAY IN the League.
Wish them all the best as would not like to see them go down but do stay real with your player judgements

I would not be surprised to see a tempory appointment made until the end of this season to facilitate this arrangement. Pure speculation but if Jeff Kenna heard any such rumour it may have influenced his "back me or sack me" stance when he met with the board.
presumably if things do not work out at Pats then SK can made another prodical son return to Derry

Em, I am from Dublin, the League of Ireland Community in Dublin is relatively small. I have no knowledge of the internal workings of any club outide of Dublin. I am at an age where my contemporaries are now involved in other clubs at director/offficer levels.
I don`t need to be a mind reader to know that Kenny looked for the Rovers job to be offered to him and then wouldn`t apply. Pure speculation on my part that he didn`t do so because he didn`t want to risk being turned down.

If you want to get to know my sources I`ll send on your details and see if any of them are interested in getting to know you

Only if we appoint another bolter like Fenlon.

I'd imagine we'll go local and low cost, although our Board do have the ability to constantly surprise me, and not necessarily in a good way.

Pats, Cork and Bohs have never been promoted either.

**northwestexile** · 22/09/2009, 9:56 AM

It is possible that Kenny could be looking for a new challenge as he seems to have taken Derry as far as he can with regard to the league but if the story that he is leaving because he is not happy about the cuts at DCFC are true then is Pat's the best choice? They are not in Europe next year and already made cuts to their playing budget this year and having not qualified for the Europa League next year the budget could be cut further.
In all this speculation of possible managers the one that hasn't been mentioned managed the team that knocked Pats out of the cup and thats Stephen Henderson. Young manager, has built two teams capable of challenging for the 1st Division title. I think he's worth a punt by an established Premier Division club (depending on promotion/relegation of course).

Jesus, I thought you lot could not wait to get rid of him ! Please, please make up your mind

fenlon (left once) = "bolter" Stephen Kenny (possibly twice) = legend ???

**Sheridan** · 22/09/2009, 12:19 PM

St Patrick�s Athletic would like to announce the appointment of Pete Mahon as manager of the first-team for the remainder of the 2009 season.

Maurice O'Driscoll will continue in his role as caretaker manager for this evening�s Setanta Sports Cup fixture against Derry City.

Pete will begin in his new role from tomorrow.

�I�m delighted to have a man of Pete�s experience in charge of the team at this point in the season.

Hopefully he can make an immediate impact, beginning with this Friday�s game at home against Cork City�, said the club�s CEO, Richard Sadlier.

Bit of a ropey appointment if you ask me. There's no way adults will put up with his "man management" style and tactically he's a bit clueless.

**pineapple stu** · 22/09/2009, 12:23 PM

Which is how he did so well with us. Nearly saved us from relegation, got promoted with a record points tally, League Cup Final, FAI Cup semi, league Cup semi, top half of the league, all on the smallest budget in the Premier. Obviously a tactical dunce.

Best of luck to him. Interesting to see how he gets on.

Still a bit dubious if you ask me. There are always rumours flying around and if you, as a Bohs fan, believe all that is coming from the Hoops camp then you are pretty naive.
