Tony Cousins got appointed town manager just 25 mins ago.. Its just hot off the press!

**Dillonman** · 16/12/2009, 3:33 PM

Duno what to make of that appointment...dodgy?!

**Longfordian** · 16/12/2009, 3:38 PM

Nobody too's excited about it I don't think but sure we'll see how it goes. I wouldn't be too surprised if we find ourseves looking again in June or July. Hope he does the job well though obviously.

Bloody hell Longford.

**Martinho II** · 16/12/2009, 3:41 PM

I got a text yesterday that he was in the running.I am shocked that the appointment was made quickly. The galway fans have posted about Tony Cousins before about their thoughts on him.. I am not sure what to make of it either .. Our ex manager Alan Gough was number two under him.. We played against Cousins when in the Premier Division.. I think he was poor at Kildare Co but I am prepared to give him a chance as the current no 2 Philip Coffey who worked under him in Galway stays and Derek Glynn who played under Cousins in Galway should stay..
I am prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt for the time being..

If he does leave it will probably be after we beat you, thats how most of your managers go.......

I like Tony Cousins and its good to see him back in the game. Hopefully he can make a go of it at Longford.

First thought that came into my head as well. Hopefully it doesn't come to this though and he makes a good fist of it.

No problem, this will be the last season you will have to meet us, when we get promoted you can keep your managers!!

**Paddyfield** · 16/12/2009, 4:16 PM

Will he continue to drive a taxi?

**L.T.F.C.** · 16/12/2009, 4:21 PM

eh nothing!

Will save on team bus if he can drive it too.

**Boo_Boy** · 16/12/2009, 4:23 PM

He got Galway promoted, why you all upset?

**pineapple stu** · 16/12/2009, 4:25 PM

Two Longford new manager threads merged as the same stuff's being posted in them. Hope the Section O lads don't mind. Having watched TV3, I know how vicious youz can get!

He won't be full time with us anyway so I presume he will continue doing it if that's what he does these days.

Well at least it was a swift appointment and he can get on with the task of getting a squad together and a decent pre-season. I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt and wish him the best of luck with us.
