Galway must be very short-sighted, Connor will bankrupt ye in no time.
It's a disastrous appointment and i hope Leeson gets what he deserves, mind you the fans don't deserve Sean Connor.

I would guess Shaun Kelly will join, but, if the budget is only around €3000 per week then I can't see all those players coming and leaving anything for the rest of the squad.

He was by far the most outstanding candidate that applied. He had the most managerial experience by far

Im not saying its connected with Connor but we broke even last year and where doing well til July but since he left we have a 200k deficit this year! Maybe cause of Seanies big contracts for the lads!

It's what you can afford to pay not who has the most experience,that guy will command at least €1500 52 weeks of the year .

Lovers?

Oh right... you meant us... sorry

The betting shops around Galway will be busy when his squad rolls into town

**Dillonman** · 10/01/2010, 7:39 PM

Has Leeson done something dodgey again to get more money for GUFC?!

Only if they let him. If they're as stuck for money as posters here have been saying, you'd imagine Connor was told the sort of budget he's getting and knows what he's in for.

My guess is Connor convinced the Galway board to base the budget on a few friendlies against the likes of Celtic like he did with us last season.

**gufc2000** · 10/01/2010, 7:42 PM

Some managers turned the chance down after learning of the financial side of things so I'm sure Connor knows what he is letting himself in for

**grayzer1888** · 10/01/2010, 7:43 PM

Don't forget Barca because he has contacts there

Or with Sunderland as he is close friends with Steve Bruce

and Mick at Wolves

....do bookmakers take bets on what team will have the worst disciplinary record at the end of a season?

**oriel** · 10/01/2010, 7:50 PM

With Roddy at Cork and SC resurfacing at Galway at least we`ll have some entertainment to keep us going. SC w/o doubt one of the biggest bulls##rs of all time. Ok he kept us up and got 5th place, but his and the teams lack of efforts in almost every game of the last series was a pure disgrace.

It's a little sad how much of a musical chairs effort the League of Ireland is [and I include Cork City going to Roddy Collins in this]. Rovers took a slight risk to bring O'Neill in last season and were met with many "ah, sure he doesn't know the league and players" which turned out to be nonsense.

You have to look at the people who are doing the hiring and firing in this league, Connor has a passable if uninspiring record, but if someone looks through his career, there is a serious amount of collateral damage in his wake. A bit of fresh air every now and again wouldn't hurt at all
