Yeah have to agree with that - Harrry did a great job with us, had us playing some nice stuff and had a good eye for players!!

Was always surprised he never went back into management (but as ndrog said, hes doing well for himself anyway)

Murray was lucky when we won the cup, Kilkenny should of bet us in the first round ( I think). His training methods were held in Dublin which were a farce ( sorry Maxi). Thats when he bothered to turn up to a training session.

He went through some amount of players!

Rico for me, City were great to watch during his two spells in charge at the club.

Pat Dolan.

No question. Brilliant manager.

**eamo1** · 12/01/2010, 8:14 PM

Tony Mannion for me.If he had had the same budget Tony Cousins had a few years ago with us we'd be in the top 2 or 3 every season.In his training session's he just ran the players for a few hour's,did very little ball work with them,yet they still played good tactics.Also, any player who pulled out of a challenge was taken off without hesitation.
He is managing an FAI development squad now.

Pat Devlin!!

**sheao** · 12/01/2010, 9:37 PM

Has to be Rico . He was by far the best manager that City have ever had.

Usual suspects mentioned - Rico, Mannion, McLaughlin. Would also mention John Gill - I know he is an assistant, but think we did a great job with Dundalk.

He did and is a bit of an unsung hero in these parts!

What was his nickname again, if any?. There's something telling me he had one that may have tickled me at the time. I do remember that 'Anderson out' banner too.

Two managers linked with Finn Harps at one time or another in the noughties. Harry McCue and Jimmy McGeough.

I liked Felix Healy and thought he deserved more time at Finn Park. I'd add Rico to the list aswell.
