Strong rumours doing the rounds yesterday and today that if we lose at Pats tonight he will exit stage right.

Any chance of Cooke returning? The Board have a lot of questions to answer.
Drogheda fans I've spoken to are not happy with the way a so called "members club" is controlled by a clique of wealthy supporters. The views of ordinary fans are not welcome, apparently.
Darius in after tonight if things don't go their way apparently
Done Pats -1 tonight, was tempted to go -2.
If Horgans job is hanging on beating Pats then he may stick the fire on now, put his feet up and save himself the bother tonight.
Something has to be done as at the moment they way that Drogheda are fading and Athlone now have a win on the board, Athlone have have a chase on and much to play for!
Players doing a good job of ensuring he gets the sack tonight anyway. 4-0 down after 5 mins of second half.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Lost 6-0 - the free fall is something to behold. Giving Cooke the boot looks more and more silly by the week
Careful now, you'll have MiniMourinho and the other lad in telling us stories about waiting in Roddy's car again.Originally Posted by WoodquayBoy
I am the other lad.
Roddy won't get the job at United Park as long as any of the current board are in situ, although there is strong word that the chairman may be about to fall on his sword.
Personally I'd like to see us go for somebody from left field, David Jeffrey the ex Linfield gaffer.
However the reality is we have no money so the bigger names may not want the gig.
Bringing Mick Cooke back would be the ideal solution in so far as he is well able to operate without a shoestring, or even a budget at all, and it would get the fans behind the team.
Darius Kearins would also be a good shout, but as far as I know he hasn't the pro licence, although that is not a insurmountable barrier.
By the way MiniMourhino has been conspicuous by his absence since a potentially libellous comment about Cooke a while back.

Couldn't have that now, could we
On Soccer Republic they have just shown Mick Cooke at Richmond sitting with Drogs director Dermot McKenna.
Interesting to say the least.
Kearns's record as manager at Drogheda and Dundalk makes Robbie Horgan look like Pep Guardiola

Worst team performance I've ever seen tonight. They were abysmal in every single way
Darius is a young manager learning his trade.
With both Louth sides he did what he was asked to so, he steadied the ship.
He has a very good under age record with the Drogs, and if he is still their 19s manager this coming season he'll show that.
One for the future admittedly, but the future could be right now, or their might not be a future for us in the top flight.
We would get relegated with Darius in charge, just like we did last time he was at the helm. This calls for an experienced appointment. Horgan will go and has to go but only because it's easier to sack a manager than sack an entire squad. The players are the ones to blame and their level of performance has been nothing short of disgraceful.
Ha ha! Like you I dont surface unless there is controversy!
Robbies time is up. It didnt work. But why would you replace him with the two other failed managers in 2014 in Mick Cooke and Roddy?
I see you have promoted Dermot McKenna from first-team player liason to Director of the football club too. Does Dermot know that?
Let silly season begin again!
Darius' points tally when he took charge of Dundalk was poor, seven points if I recall.
To be fair, the club was in meltdown at the time. Darius signed a lot of players on amateur terms, none of whom were any good.
We scrapped through a play-off because Waterford took their foot off the pedal in the first leg then they should have put the tie beyond reach.
I hope Drogheda are not in as bad of financial state as we were, though there were strong rumours last night of a massive projected deficit due to a collapse in gate receipts. Presumably, Horgan will be due a few quid if sacked.
Gates have been OK up to the Bohs / Limerick matches, attendances getting down to the small core, but it hard to see how they could go anywhere but further downhill now. With half the season left that's going to be a massive revenue gap.
No it's not. The board budgeted for tiny gates (around the level of the Limerick crowd) based on last year's experiences. The better crowds that we have had for most of the year have been a bonus. This time, the problems are on the field.
