    Dolan's position

    Following events in the media over the last few days, and in light of the interviews on today's Big Red Bench do people think Dolan can continue as City manager.

    Not unless he promises to work within the club and keep his gob shut about everything Cork City except his team and tactics.

    Only plus point of whole sorry saga is that this has happened 3 weeks before start of season, not 3 weeks into the season.

    Among what was said:
    Dan Murray was asked if anyone else was involved in the decision to go to the papers, beside the players, and he refused to answer it. Lennox said no comment in answer to the same question. Also, Lennox said he and dolan were supposed to meet on thurs night- Dolan didn't turn up, never called to say he wouldn't be there and hasn't been heard from since.

    if dolan goes, then the board should reconsider their positon.

    he doesnt need to apologise for anything

    If Dolan goes it will be down to his own stupidity. the board have nothing to apologise for. Dolan went behind people's backs and tried to undermine his boss- thats a sackable offence in any job.

    Brian wants to do that too. There's nobody at City who doesn't want an improvement. But it was the way he went about it is the problem

    How do you know he went looking for better facilities?
    You posted not so long ago about great facilities that some local club have. Did Dolan go there and see if they would suit, and see if they can be rented and made a base for City?
    Outside of endless whinging in the press, how do any of us know what Dolan has actually done to improve the situation?

    "We should have our own". That about sums up a lot of peoples argument. When you ask them how we actually get them, all I hear is silence.

    You still didn't address the question about Dolan and whether he has done anything about it rather than moaning....
