Sean Connor new manager of gufc

**geezer** · 11/01/2010, 12:24 AM

Plenty of action guaranteed, Galway teams always too nice in all codes. Everyone else will hate us now so it might bring out something that we have lacked. Might be no harm to to have a sharper, no bull**** relationships with the two local pretenders, no doubt connor will stir it and i look forward to it. Red Mists, red cards and red pants the best christmas present United fans could have hoped for

If we were in the same situation as Galway are supposed to be in i would gladly take Connor as our manager, I think getting someone with good experince just might save Galway from the drop this year

I can't really see any argument against Connor's appointment. He is the most qualified of the applicants who were still interested having heard about our financial situation. We desperately needed an experienced manager in place to prevent further losses to our squad.

Besides, with only 10 top-flight teams now managers with experience, but without a job can't be too picky. We may not have a huge budget, but we're in the right league, and Connor can hopefully keep us there. Welcome aboard Sean, and good luck!

While Seanie's a bit beyond being an oddball, and can be as erratic as a meerkat on speed, he does seem to be lucky, and maybe that luck is from getting the best from players or good tactics. Last year was a rollercoaster with us but at the same time it was a tough gig to come into. It's interesting to see that he got the Galway job after being recommended and turned down for the Floriana job. (Really, he gave an interview in the Maltese media - after being introduced by Roddy - about how he'd love the challenge)

I bet it will be Gareth Gorman. He is a fellow northerner who played with Galway United in the 90's. He was previously No.2 at Sligo and Dundalk. He married a Galway woman a few years ago and lives in Galway.

I think this guy is seriously on the brink of an automatic life-time ban from this forum.
I mean, he can't spell, he supports 50 different teams and he's not only a student but an Art Student

Jeez, standards of moderation is seriously dipping here.

The FAI wont approve a budget that Galway can�t afford. It will be interesting to see how he does on a tight budget. Lets be fair to him, he has done ok so far at every club he has been at.
