The hip injury had nothing to do with running around the back garden - it was untested grass pitch at school! My yard has a Fifa 12 star rating ye know.....Originally Posted by Charlie Darwin
(i did read a thread on boards recently where a chap -not from Dundallk i should add-who was seriously looking for advice on installing field turf in his back garden to play/train on, at the time i thought 'f*ck dont let Soccer Republic or Roddy Collins know').
Did feel sorry for Horgan after the interview and if his comments hold weight a new manager is not the main answer it is identifying the paid passengers in the squad and ousting them!
Apparently the shortlist consists of:
Liam Kelly (former St Patrick's Athletic and Shelbourne striker – who has managed Leinster Senior League club Glebe North for the last eight years)
Pete Mahon
John Gill
Not sure who else is in the mix.
It is strange how he's sort of vanished. Not fantastic, but has the know-how to get a team like Drogs on their feet again, and back in the top tier if it comes to it.
Author of Never Felt Better (History, Film Reviews).
He was in charge of the FIFPro team up in Norway last year as far as I remember. Not sure if he's in junior management.
I've always liked Pete Mahon.
Despite the catastrophic performances, I think Drogs fans will retain a soft spot for Robbie Horgan. The players are to blame; quite a mystery why, after a promising start, they just stopped playing for him.
Liam Kelly was interviewed for the Town job some years back. It was either when Cousins got it or Alan Gough got it from recollection but he's been keen to get a break in LOI management by all accounts. Not sure how he's done with Glebe North
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Not a huge fan of the dour Mahon but he could steady the ship for a while if given the job.
Gill is likley to be on money that Drogheda couldnt match so will test his ambition for a top flight managers job. If Kelly has half the impact Cauldfield has had and with knowledge of cheap and capable junior footballers to bring in for the current chancers, well could be a good shout abeit another bit of a gamble.
Word going about now that there's a consortium getting together , meeting next Monday night with a view to investing in the club. Proposals being put to the members shortly afterwards at a rapidly convened EGM.
Is it a consortium of fans or business men?
Is it tied up with the property deal relating to the new stadium?
Apparently it's headed by former LOI player John Delamere , a close pal of Mick Cooke.
Also rumours that Jim Agnew has stepped down but that's unconfirmed.
Interesting. Drogheda fans will be quite rightly cautious.
However, I thought the plan to have a new stadium on the old Coke site had the potential to give Drogheda the impetus to attract a wider fan base. Financing and whether the club will be saddled with debt will be key.
Delamere was one of Ollie's lackeys at Shels back in the day.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Well thats encouraging, Shels never went out of business and reemerged as some newco!
The few things I heard about him back then wouldn't inspire confidence in terms of his being in charge himself but that was a while ago in fairness.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Perfect fit for Drogs so.
They do love a lackey in Drog town!

Termonbarry Athletic TID!
LMFM are reporting that Darius Kerins has been appointed as the interim manager of Drogheda United.
Good luck to him. Dundalk fans will never forget that he kept us up (narrowly) in 2012.
With Neale Fenn i hear.

Ah, so that's who's going to replace Croly.
I get quite nauseous anytime I hear or read that name.
