Celebrating 130 Years of Athlone Town Football Club - Pride of the Midlands Since 1887
A mysterious investor, a team full of Europeans with a couple of foreign coaches imposed on the manager and no fans turning up. Got to love the LOI.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
The Portuguese coach is a guy based in Dublin who coaches futsol 😂😂
Supposedly the investor approached 3 irish clubs in the past year and was ran from them all.
What a joke of a club Athlone Town are.
Am told one of these two could be the coach. https://www.linkedin.com/in/antoniom...ter&_mSplash=1 https://www.linkedin.com/in/jose-fer...Fer&_mSplash=1
That Mantero lad looks like a proper spoofer. Hope he gets the gig.

The Ferreira chap linked above and another Portuguese coach called Ricardo Gravo have joined the Athlone coaching staff it appears. I'm sure Ferreira has done wonderful things in his few months with Belmount FC u17s.

Buck me, he's a futsol coach. Athlones keeper from last season has gone to Shels
No one knows what's going on. Not even managers.

With the greatest of respect to Athone what madman would invest In the shambles they currently are???
Plenty of dodgy characters looking for a business to put their money into. I'd be curious to know what kind of questions the FAI asked about this mystery investor.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Even for our league its a bit mad!
Too many Chiefs and not enough Indians.
Some bizarre miscommunication issues there. Real amateurish. Club would be well advised to make a statement on who the manager is sharpish.

Athlone Town AFC would like to announce changes to the first team coaching set-up.The club is delighted to confirm that respected Portuguese coach Ricardo Monsanto has been appointed as First Team Manager.
Ricardo is the holder of a UEFA A License, awarded to him by the Portuguese Football Association.
Colin Fortune has assumed a new role of Head Coach and will continue to provide the sterling service he has given Athlone Town AFC on and off the field over many years.
Coaches Ricardo Cravo, also from Portugal, and Gavin Drummond are also on board and will play their part as part of the backroom team.
The changes take effect from today (Thursday March 9th) however it is important to note that the coaching staff have been working well together since the start of the season.
To date this coaching structure has greatly aided the blending in of the first team squad’s locally based players with those who have come in from Europe.
The changes have been brought about as part of the club’s on going efforts to improve results and player performance on the field of play.
The Football Association of Ireland have been formally notified of the changes.
The club has no doubt that our senior coaching staff will continue to work both with each other and the players to build on our positive opening to the 2017 First Division season.
The club asks that all genuine fans of Athlone Town AFC give their full support to the management team and playing staff particularly in our upcoming games against neighbours Longford Town.

****ing gob****es
What a complete and utter shambles that club is.
I fully expect them to go and win the league now.
https://kesslereffect.bandcamp.com/album/kepler - New music. It's not that bad.
why? Sure who cares who is running the club. If you get some investor in and is willing to spend some cash the great. We need more of that. Its better than not having a pot to **** in. If it fails then you just go back to not having a pot to **** in. The same one they were using before.
