Tonight a local journalist on the local soccer scene down here and close to the club. Said tonight all to be revealed Tuesday lunch time/afternoon in regards to Roddy Collins.
Rumour has it Roddy is in England and only verbally agreed to take over Waterford. Heard he has been in contact with Athlone. Could be a twist in the tale yet.
Still, i reckon he will end up in Waterford, although Athlone would make much more sense for him. Training in dublin, id imagine a much higher budget and he already knows alot of the players.

For some weird reason, no matter where he goes I always want to see him do well.
Probably the knowledge that there will inevitably be a train crash and the higher he goes the more spectacular it will be.
I never thought I'd see the day where two clubs are fighting over Roddy Collins.

Regardless of peoples opinions on him, he is a good manager. How many people tried, and failed miserably to get us out of the 1st division. For 20 years nobody could do what Roddy done in 1 season. Roddy done nothing wrong down here. He didn't over spend as everyone claims he does. He may talk alot of crap, but he knows how to get a bit of buzz going in a town. Every single Athlone fan would have Roddy back in a heartbeat.

Its a reasonable gamble from Waterford. As has been mentioned they are dying anyway, maybe this sparks some interest in the club again locally. Derry aside, has Roddy every managed outside of the Dublin area in the LOI? I know he was at Athlone and Monaghan but he was able to sign a lot of Dublin based players, he might not have that luxury in Waterford.
You appear to be forgetting his reign in Cork
His first signing will be his son

U21 Development league Division 2 or something. So in fairness not not with Palace on trial but not signed with the reserves or U21s either. A typical overstating the situation from the Collins camp possibly? Isnt that the De Silva that was linked with palace when Collins Snr was at Derry and said he was refusing to sell?

A quick scan of the match reports and Collins was in squad of the last 6, close enough for Roddy in relative terms. Fair play to Junior for persisting with his career regardless of nepotism accusations. This is also reserve football as a new system from 2013 too.
edit - Hadn't seen your post Nigel - it is as close as reserve footy at Palace. It isnt senior and there is no indication of having signed a contract per se.

The reserve league was disbanded for the PDL across the English leagues so it is the Reserve league equivalent now. So yes as stu has said not a particular exaggeration at all! The league division is based on the category of the club academy rather than the senior level.
