Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Were Roddy and Mick Cooke in the car just in case?

Good luck to him.
Its good to see an Irish lad get the job rather than someone using the position as a stepping stone to getting back to the UK.
I wouldn't care if a manager was trying to get to the moon as long as he knew he needed success to get there. And I wouldn't say too many fans in the league wouldn't choose trophies over a shop-local scheme.
Every trophy won in our modern history has been under a manager from outside trying to get back (you could quibble, perhaps, over '83). And that has benefited us at grassroots level - the fine facilities the club has now have been built on the back of those successes.
I hope Heary turns out to be a genius and wins us everything going - but his nationality doesn't cost me a thought.

Even if the sea ceases to flow
Even if the sun ceases to rise
The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning star glittering in the sky."
I think I like this thread better than the other one.
What other thread?

Great appointment for Sligo. Had Bohs well organised and playing a decent brand of football.
He was under heavy heavy pressure at the start of the season with Bohs and they weren't expected to challenge for anything so he's about to walk into a whole new world of pressure at the Showgrounds which has seen trophy after trophy in the last few years, best of luck to the lad but I'm not so sure on this one.
Nobody is expecting us to win anything next season
Yes of course it doesn't matter where the manager comes from as long as they bring success.
But if you look back over the Champions list most of the managers have been Irish apart from Baraclough in 2012.
Its the same story in the FAI Cup competition.
Apart from Baraclough I think all the winners were managed by Irish managers unless you go back a bit in time.
I forgot about Cooke.
Always liked him & he did well for Sligo.
His replacement Barraclough did well for them as well.
Sligo have had a string of UK managers over the years.
Unfortunately most of them used Sligo as stepping a ground for other things but that's always likely to happen when you bring someone over from the UK.
Strange why they went for a home grown manager now.
Nothing strange about it really. He was the best candidate for the job I assume. If is was a UK guy, he'd have got the job. Granted we have had a lot of Uk managers down the years but that's cause we are willing to take a chance on a guy trying to make a name for himself.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
Heary's got off to a decent start with a few early signings - and nailing down Keane and Russell was huge. We definitely need a few more, though - we can't be asking too much of the youngsters. I said a while back that the next manager needed to get some positivity and excitement back into the fans and the players after the Coleman debacle - it'll be crucial in getting decent crowds out at the start of the season. Heary appears to be doing that so far - but we'll need a few good early results to keep it rolling. Poor results and falling crowds in our league have a nasty habit of feeding each other - the downward spiral is never far away.
