O'Neill 'to quit' Shamrock Rovers

Because I start fundraising threads? Suppose if they're removed it clears the way for the annual Sligo 'handouts wanted' thread.

Haha wow even for this site your stupidity is breath taking.
The board know last seasons finances, I was merely pointing out that the posters here dont and anything else is idle speculation.
Really quite breath taking you came to that conclusion.

Really? I dont question you, they are probably all floating about with all those facts vindicating your "Harps regularly out-numbered the home fans in the showgies".

Warning -- only those with logic and irony deficit should give this nonsense a second look.

Gone seriously off topic here lads. As regards O'Neill leaving Shams, some sportscaster talking today that if O'Neill gets NI job in front of Magilton then the latter might be offered Shamrock Rovers job?

Seems Kenny has been in talks with Shamrock Rovers for the last 48 hours, so could be confirmed in the coming days.

And the Tallaght Town takeover actually comes to fruition....

Not enough that he removed three of them until he finally capitulated.

At least the persistence paid off.

Can we ask Dahamsta to re-open the Dumbass thread?

This sort of childish sh!te on here just turns everyone against Sligo Rovers and I know for a fact that, contrary to the behaviour of some of the Sligo posters on here, the vast majority of Sligo fans are sound. Such a pity.

**Sam_Heggy** · 21/12/2011, 3:57 PM

Back on topic(ish), it looks like the muckers are already looking at options to replace Kenny with Pizza mentioned as a potential candidate.

SRFC board member saying we are nowhere near appointing a manager, could be a smoke screen incase an agreement cant be met

If he goes, we get some money from Shams so that's something, although SK has in previous years threatened to leave to get a bigger budget so I reserve judgement just yet. The ultras forum shows just how fickle football fans can be, months ago they wanted SK and Zayed dead, now there commending SK's loyalty to his players and considering how good an addition to their team Zayed will be

he was offered the job before o'neill and turned it down at the last minute, rovers are a different prospect then we were 3 years ago so the offer might be more tempting. btw not all would be happy with SK's arrival or EZ possible arrival.

Kenny I've not much problem with. I remain to be convinced about Zayed in terms of ability. He wouldn't be my first, second or third choice to pilfer from the Brandywell. Even Eoin Doyle scored nearly 20 goals last season thanks to Galway/UCD. Zayed's sister however would have a lot of making up to do.

Seems that has happened today, or the promise of one to be precise.

**askmehoop** · 23/12/2011, 6:53 AM

Looks like O'Neill will be named as the Nordie manager

**Cuyahoga** · 23/12/2011, 7:34 AM

It wont be announced until New Year according to the BBC.

**askmehoop** · 23/12/2011, 10:10 AM

He has been offered the job according to SSN.
