With Ian Foster gone to Dundalk,who's gonna take over?
Are best option is probably Johnny Glynn who is the Mervue manager now.

The funniest thing about that comment is that he is being sincere.

I think Lal could make a comeback and be successfull second time around similiar to his playing career

**SligoBrewer** · 05/12/2009, 10:01 PM

I hear Rob McDonald is going to be approached by Leeson soon enough.

wouldnt mind seeing him back, did a great job when last here. His career did take a nosedive after leaving !!!!!

Foster and his brand of football are irreplaceable. He worked wonders with very little. But you cant blame himfor going. I for one will clap him when he returns to Terryland!

Foster leaving is probably in the best short-term interests of Galway. I read somewhere in the last few days (Galway Bay FM maybe? - anyone got a link?) that the 2010 budget was going to be anywhere from €0 to something like €175k.

The cost of Fosters contract (salary, car, fuel, house etc) must have been in the region of €60k-€80k, and even if this was sustainable for Galway next season, in the circumstances getting in a low cost local manager probably makes most sense

What would ye think about Alan Gough for the job?

I wouldn't. Couldn't hack it at Longford (no disrespect intended towards Longford). From what I heard, he wasn't well like down there.

**Longfordian** · 06/12/2009, 4:28 PM

Don't know the full ins and outs of his time in charge but he didn't cover himself in glory anyhow. Things looked an awful lot better once Cronin took over.
