who will win the leagues this coming season

[danthesaint]

Who have Pat's kept from last years squad?

gary rogers, stuey byrne, damien lynch, andy haran,
ryan guy and jason gavin still on the books for time being

i think thats it

Pats, I don't know, I just think they'll be solid defensively and score on the break. That will make the difference between them and other mid-table sides.

we havent got any strikers there bar haran, depends on who we bring in.
its still only early yet, PM isnt finished with transfers anyway.

but i do think sligo will struggle next year, especially if cook goes to bohs, and because cretaro is gone.
he was the best player in the league last year (well him and twigg)

i like PM as a manager he shows passion, we were beating rovers 1-0 at the end of the season and he was still on the sideline giving socks and giving instruction, and was going mad at times, which i like to see, strange to see when were winning, something we didnt get under kenna, ya couldnt hear him at all

[Hairy Bowsie]

What do you think would happen (how you would get on) if you got promoted due to others getting the boot from the Premier? Honest question btw

I think if we were to go into the Premier, we'd be relegated straight away to be honest.

Cretaro is nothing without the players working for him.

you can say that about any player then..... he is a great player, he single handily destroyed us when ya beat us 2-0 in richer at the end of the season. he controlled that game

I think the problem with Jeff Kenna was that he didn't have the confidence at Pats. He rescued Galway and then made what was supposed to be a big move, but despite having the playing squad he tried too hard to play football when getting stuck in was called for, at least that's what I saw on a couple of occasions. Apparently he was being lined up, in an either or case, with Dave Rogers to go as Roddy's assistant to Malta. But I couldn't see that working at all!

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Thought Boco ran the game from centre midfield that night myself

nah it wasnt confidence at pats, he signed crap players. no moativation to players getting stuffed 3-0 at galway on first game. but the thing is, he managed to get results in europe against the maltese and russians.
he picked an assistant manager who didnt know the league, and he left for personal reasons (yeah like going for a job interview )
he used to fly home every week to birmingham, thats not ideal for a manager and his assistant. he has a job with birmingham so i wouldnt reckon he would have gone to malta

Nah we'd have a different squad to a first division one and I think we'd comfortably achieve a midtable finish. Especially if Bray come up with us (which I think they'd have to)

Wouldnt Bray be first to come up then shels?

That's what he's saying.

s, Mahon is the man who (Bohs fans can slaughter me as they'd know better) can turn good players into better ones, and I think he can do this at Pats.

Great with kids by all accounts but struggles with older players. Definitely not the manager to get the best out of problem players anyway.
