Looks a bit hasty alright, how many points they are behind Sligo now? It is a lot similar to Shamrock Rovers getting rid of S Kenny which I think was a mistake as he didn't get enough time there to move out the players who didn't like him being in charge. Thankfully the board at Tallaght has been more patient and Crolly has been given some time as he has them near the top of the table. However if the fans wanted him out as much as reported, then it best for all that he goes.
Now Derry have one of their own in charge, and lets hope Pizza Hutton has them playing free-flowing football and challenging for the title as that is the expectation it seems.
Could Roddy be back at Bohs soon?

Hopefully the football will now be better craic than the managers post match interviews!
For once maybe someone will call me "sir" without adding "you're making a scene."

cant wait to hear his take on it !!
could ye not have waited a week. We were looking forward to a comfortable 3 points!
There's still a big contingent that want Croly out, but not as big as last season. The performances this season have been more encouraging, if still patchy. Think he'll need to bring in a midfielder or two in July.
Nothing hasty about this decision, was overdue. Start of season he was shouting about winning the league, then down in Dundalk says we're mad if we thought we'd go there and play football. Says he wouldnt pay to watch us this season, fell out with Patterson, Doherty and Shane McEleney. Negative tactics, **** style of play
Nutjob, on yer bike Roddy!!!
Patterson wouldnt fall out with anybody, lol
If Derry fans are expecting free flowing football under Hutton u obviously didnt see the job he done with Harps last year.
Hope he is on soccer republic tonight. I was enjoying the craic when he was in charge, entertaining big time. Loved the interview on Friday night with the Londonderry sentinel.
Check it out. The journalist was bricking it.

The YMCA comment was just superb, would make a great sketch at an end of season thing, cue the music, then the fancy dress, Indian, NYC Cop, Builder, now who was the 4th guy?
That comment was up there with Croly's 'at least we are losing the right way' (2013)
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Tony Cousins better look over his shoulder as Roddy surely be in running for Longford Job as he has great ability of getting teams promoted from first div
Maybe im wrong here, but i highly doubt the supporters club would have any say in who the club appoint as manager. I can certainly see Roddy as the next Longford manager. If ye want to get promoted, in fairness, he is the man to do it. If he can do it with Monaghon and Athlone, he can do it with anyone.
Athlone Town AFC 1887-2017
if he is given TC's job it will be bye bye Noel Haverty and James Mulhall as his son will play every game at right back unless of course he fancies a different position
Roddy won't ever be manager of Longford, thank Christ.
Tony will probably be our manager for another 5 years the way things are going. The man can't be got rid of.
I think it was the spoofing that lost him the job this early, especially the 'built on sand' stuff. If he had kept his gob shut and cut out the ridiculous diversion attempts like the Pat Hoban comments he might have lasted a few more weeks. Dont know how he thought the Derry support wouldnt see through his bull straight away. How good is his son, is he worthy of a place in an LoI side? - never saw him play.
The Supporters Club being against it was the excuse Roddy gave at the time. And it was true they didn't want him but the reality was that the "investors" he had with him didn't actually have any money and that became clear pretty quick. Our chairman makes the decisions but I can't see any way he'd appoint Roddy. We could still go up yet anyway
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
