Get your money on Tony Cousins

Have heard whispers to that effect too. Would be a pretty meh appointment but whoever gets it I'll give them a chance I guess. On the plus side he might keep derek glynn. Won't be o'connor anyway I think he starts these rumours himself because there's enough people around that remember his last spell in charge.

Wouldn't be enormously enthused by Tony Cousins. As Longfordian said he would probably help keep Glynn who I was starting to fear would go back to Galway with Ian Foster gone.

Cousins has a decent eye for talent and good knowledge of schoolboy football etc and would probably put a reasonable squad together, but he is a bad, bad manager and this would negate any such good work. Let's not forget Alan Gough was his number two. Ask any Galway fan what they think of him, or better yet, whoever is in charge of picking the new manager should lift the phone to John Fallon or Nick Leeson and ask them for a reference.

I think he was interviewed before when Aaron Callaghan got it and I wasnt all that enthused about the prospect of him getting it then. I suppose we'll have to wait and see what happens.

I heard yesterday from a source that he was in the running but I am stunned a new appointment has being made so quick.. I got a text just now from someone that the club has made an announcement. I suppose all we can do is give him a chance..As was previously mentioned he has a lot of experience in the job but his man management skills as mentioned in this thread from rocky can be confirmed by the Galway fans that posted on here and can vouch for this as per previous threads..

I am not sure what to make of it.. But on the pro side Philip Coffey stays and I would expect Derek Glynn to stay too as he was a favourite of Tonys..

he was a surprise appointment here in Longford thats for sure.. He was in the running for it too when Gareth Cronin got it.. I would have tipped Liam Kelly for it.. buts thats football for you!
