Before they came they knew they were hated so obviously only came for the money.
But when he comes out in the press and labels the people of Cork as "stupid" because we like to see attractive football, he isn't going to win many pals.

He's plus one pal now
I've never understood why the Great Cork Sporting Public loathed Doolin. The table doesn't lie, it's results that count and all of that. In spite of the shíte that was going on at Cork all year -- following on from last year's shíte -- he still managed the team to 3rd place (and as someone else has said, it's been your highest league finish since 2005). I wouldn't mind seeing him get the Dundalk job at all.
And the reason for the "hatred" - he and his team took the FAI and Setanta cups away from you in finals and had the cheek to win the league against your team. That's the sum total of his crimes prior to going to Cork. Now that is stupid.

Nonsense, that didn't stop people taking to Pat Dolan [who was a much bigger target for abuse than Doolin ever was [no pun intended]] or Damien Richardson [who'd walked out on us before and was hated by some for it].
Also, Doolin did have a playing and managerial career before he arrived at Drogheda you know, the league did exist before you started throwing money around and plenty people had plenty reason to develop a dislike for Doolin long before he went near you.
I never liked him as a player, I never liked his style of football as a manager, with UCD, Drogs or ourselves but like most I gave him a chance when he got the job, though he was far from my first choice. he got results but his 'style' of football drove countless people away before Coughlan started to drive the rest fo them away. His comments about how supporters were stupid for wanting nice attractive football sums up why he was never going to fit in at Cork City and why most washed their hands of him.

Just heard Gareth Farrelly in for the job. Surely not ? Seemingly in one of the papers.
Doolin should be hated by anyone who has ever had to listen to him give an interview. By God that man is annoying.
Typo?
Eh, Yes. He's one of the good ones

And hopefully you never will.
and don't forget he was in the Derry team that beat us in the 89 Cup final.

Why do many Drogs fans hate him now, despite the success be brought?
He wasn't hated at all, that word is thrown around far too easily by people.
I disliked him for the reasons I already outlined, but his years as a player (89 cup final, IMO a constant danger of crippling someone on the pitch) and UCD manager were key to that dislike. I didn't like him long before he turned up on you doorstep. Not everything relates back to your club.
Common thoughts on him from people I've spoken to is great coach, poor manager, awful people skills. I only met him once, cuddly he is not!

Good enough reason and is why i'm starting to dislike Dermot Keely
They always cheat, they always lie
**** Delaney and the FAI
Don't get me started on Keely.
Also for the record, if he ever becomes Drogs boss, I already dislike him.
Liam Buckley too!

Why would his years as UCD manager bother you?
*thinks she would do well to set up a "rate everyone's manager" website and sell ads for things that Tiktok likes, make a bleeding fortune*
Well Connor had a career with Waterford and done himself no favours in Cork.
Doolin could not pick his nose never mind say the team
i think Doolin did well to get the team to third. However it always seemed his heart wasn't in it, which may be understandable given the financial mess the club was in.
better for all for him to leave now IMO.
I'm what? I'm ants at a picnic?
