    Hear hear !!!
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    Would be interested to hear what Athlone fans think of Mick Cooke as an appointment, given the recent knowledge of why Roddy was let go and the alleged* similar behind-the-scenes antics which lead to Mick being dropped by Drogs?

    *You'll note i used the word 'alleged' so dont start jumping over this Keepersball.

  5. Thanks From:

    I know that myself, along with the majority of fans ive spoken to, want Cooke. Some even more so than Roddy. We will always be thankful to Roddy for how he changed our club around in such a short time. But nothing lasts forever and i would be delighted if Cooke is appointed.

    Cooke would indeed be a terrific appointment. However hopefully the statement from your board may well have seen him suddenly get more reservations than Sitting Bull.
    He's had enough trouble with his previous board.
    That said he is a high quality manager and you'll be lucky to have him.

    Does anyone happen to know if Roddy and Cooke share an agent? Just wondering.

    Baraclough was out of contract and interesting clubs in England. They'd be neglectful not to be sounding out replacements.

    Is Jim Roddy involved with Derry these days? Could be all sorts of hilarious confusion.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    Regardless of the then Barraclough situation the fact that Rovers reps were even in the same town as Roddy sends shivers down my spine. Have to look into this HEADS WILL ROLL

    If there's a simple situation you'll be sure to find Roddy in there trying to complicate it.

    Some days I just think the LOI is just a merry-go-round!

    Can we just once have a thread without someone trying to squeeze in an Aztec Camera reference?
