Drogs to dump Cooke?

He got great credit for sticking with Monaghan in the 1st division and almost getting them out. But thats not in the same ball park in terms of success. Was Mick regarded in such high esteem before his exploits with Drogs last year/this year?

My point is everybody needs a chance in order to be successful. Robbie Horgan now has his! Robbie was also a massive part of the success Mick had with the Drogs in recent years.

I heard the two Brennans are not going on trial to England afterall. However both are talking to Pats and Dundalk. Rovers neing mentioned as well but no talks yet, as far as I know.

What were they being charged with now?

Yes everybody does need a chance in order to be successful, but as a general rule they don't get it until there is a vacancy, Horgan knew he was getting his chance while the position was still filled.
Your other point about Drogheda not being able to compete with certain other clubs in relation to wages is accurate.
They haven't been able to compete with them for the last two seasons either and yet the players named stayed with the club because of one man Mick Cooke.

I would have gone for someone with more experience at management. Some options would have been Pete Mahon, Martin Russell, Declan Devine even, he finished 4th, won cup in 2012, I would have also taken in Darius in some capacity to try and draw back the local and lost support. But the decision is made now, best of luck to Robbie, however you get the feeling it will be a tough station ahead.

A tough station !!! It will be a tougher station than South Bermondsey when West Ham play at Milwall

My attitude is- if helping out at the club is something you'd get satisfaction from then it's a real pity to let the knockers take that away from you.

The same the world over .... and if half of them stepped up we'd all be far better off.

If crowds stay the same, so be it. I'm following my club 25 years and all the begrudging ***** in the world can't take away some of the best memories anyone could have.

It doesn't matter if there's 100 or 10,000 at a game. As long as clubs can pay their way, there'll be football to enjoy for those who want it.

Absolutely perfectly put !!!
