    Give him control over the defence and you'll be fine.

    Under no circumstances let him near the midfielder or the strikers or you'll all be bring pillows and a nice book to the Cross. He is a disciple of Keely and his brand of football reflects this, being firmly of the agricultural variety.

    Nice fella though, lots of passion and I hope he works out better as a coach than he has as a manager thus far.

    Yeah you just beat me to that Schumi! My commiserations to Cork fans. At least Noel O'Connor was close-mouthed, if ever a man should keep his voice to himself it's Dykes...
    The ball is round and has many surprises.

    Cork City RIP.

    Tactically the man hasn't a clue, his judegement of players his woeful (the man who was to release Mc Hugh for peanuts ) and as OneRedArmy says he's of the agricultural variety

    Basically the man's a disaster. God help yis!!

    Maybe his tactics were just too advanced for the players at Finn Park!?

    If he can teach our spice boys the value of giving ones opponents a good kicking every now and again. that'll ding dang do for me.
    If we just give him the defence and leave the rest alone.

    Can ANYONE confirm/deny this??? The official site isn't giving away much.

    Of course it isnt. No official site should get involved in rumours until it is 100% confirmed IMO. If the admin got involved in dodgy rumours, which turned out to be false, how could anyone have respect for it?

    For now this is a rumour, and I'm sure once it has been confirmed and/or someone other than Dykes is appointed the official site will have it there.
    If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.

    If true he will be ASSISTANT Manager (i presume like coach with big title) so he won't be signing players.

    City have good defenders but can be erratic at times so if a new person coming in can make them more consistent i'd welcome that.

    I'd be surprised if even Dolan can teach George, Kearney, Doyle, O;Flynn or Fenn much about attacking play.

    I'd like to see the club have a fulltime coach as i think O'Connor was part-time so probably only available at evenings?

    As a shels fan I would be delighted if this news is true. I think the man doesnt have a clue what is going on

    From doing interviews and media work he comes across as a complete moron and the way he had Derry playing football with some of the players he signed would have to worry any cork fan.

    Cant understand why dolan would want him after people saying that its no use just jumping in for the first free person and that you should wait for the right one???

    Very strange
    John Delaney!! GET OUT!!!

    I don't know if more to than we hear but not a good sign we almost lost whole 1st team coaching staff in 6 months.

    I wonder who is coaching the team pre-season?

    Wouldn't surprise me if Gunther came in as assistant but he might be wary of returning to the spotlight
