To be honest I don't know what to think yet wws.Originally Posted by wws
Having spoken to Brian Lennox last night, I respect his decision and understand that there are valid reasons behind it.
However, I still wish Pat Dolan was manager of Cork City FC and think that this is a step backwards.
I just hope that Rico is capable of carrying on the absolutely fantastic job that Dolan did and at the moment I'm not sure if he is.
Champions!

Fenn - Dolans signing. Good player, but has yet to really show his worth
Danny Murphy - He contacted City asking for a trial, he wasnt a 'find' of Dolans.
Dan Murray - I think he had more or less agreed to stay with City while Gunther was in Charge
Gamble - see Kearney
Doyler - Credit to Dolan. best ever City signing IMO.
-----------------------
Lads, all of this is idle hearsay and counter conjecture. The fact of the matter is, is that none of us know the facts - some may think they do, but apart from the 'inner circle' within the club and possibly OSC, i doubt anyone knows all the facts. We can argue and complain and name call, but its alll useless.
Im sure when the facts actually do surface, we'll all know then who was 'right' and who was 'wrong'.
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
kearney, would have gone to Bohz, so thank Stephen Kenny for himOriginally Posted by thecorner
fenn, doesnt get his game
doyler, the only great signing made by Dolan
danny murphy, came to the club off his own back, not by Dolan tracking him
dan murray, I thought was Gunther's signing
joe gamble, would have come to Cork regardless
Youre forgetting
Lopez,
Nwanko
Casey
Hedderman
and probably others that were so forgettable I cant remember them
The best singings in this teams have been made by Gunther & credit Lennox with coughing up the cash to keep those players when they became stars.
As I say, we're just young & a bit nieve.
almost the whole backbone of the side and u cant give them creditOriginally Posted by Gary
players often move clubs for whatever reason,doesnt make any less of a player
There should be an interview or two in the Echo.
Surely they've been on to Lennox.
What time is that out about?
2?
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.
O'Bama - "Eerah yeah, I'd say we can alright!"
G.O'Mahoney Trapattoni'll sort ém out!!
thats the CCOSC btwOriginally Posted by Gary
but yea other then that typo, fair comments gary
which is why until i hear anything to the contrary I am going to focus 100% on supporting Cork City Football Club, its players, backroom staff and everyone involved.
Lads it was mentioned before the season in only weeks away, lets try and unite and get behind the team who will still need the support of the best group of fans in the country. anything other then this will only hand $h€l$ the advantage
life is random
At no point did I disparage any of the players, they are the spine of the team, and are very good players.Originally Posted by thecorner

my take on these playersOriginally Posted by Gary
kearney-when it looked as if he mightnt get a look in,nwanko got injured and kearney never looked back.forced his way into irish u-21s. made the postion his own. not bad for a player coming back anyway
fenn- bit unlucky to be dropped in a shake-up. immense for us in europe
Danny Murphy-might have contacted city but dolan didnt have to look at him or take him. only lost his place cos of suspension. not bad for a player looking fo a trial
Dan Murray--wont comment
Gamble-coming home anyway but had other options in EL. doaln showed him his best option was city. came in at the start of our amazing run
doyler-agreed
seems like all good signings to me
I'm 100% behind Lennox on this one. If I were to choose between 'buying a league title tomorrow and spending loads of cash' or 'this club still being in business in 5 years time' then I would have to choose the latter.
Although I have huge respect for Dolan and what he has done for the club (good run in europe, 2nd in the league) I disagree with those who are under the impression that he dragged us up from nowhere.
Dave Barry tried his best to win the league and after a few good seasons decided to give someone else a go.
Derek Mountfield fell out with the players
Colm Murphy![]()
Liam Murphy - I thought did a decent enough job and like Dave Barry couldn't deliver the league and stepped aside.
In other words, Dolan didn't deliver anymore (except a good euro run) than Barry or Gunther and he shouldn't be talked up too much.
split the big 2. got us within 3 points of shels. took the league to the final dayOriginally Posted by sullanefc
ur right i think![]()

I don't think Gary was saying anything negative about these players but merely saying they 'may' have signed for CCFC regardless of who was in charge. Bar Doyle of course.Originally Posted by thecorner
question now is will doyler stay???Originally Posted by sullanefc
buddy of mine met him last night and to quote"i am not happy about dolan going"
also gamble on the paper again during the week stating he really hopes dolan is in charge this season
Still no trophies though. Look I'm not saying he is not better or worse than any of these managers. And maybe in time he 'might' have won trophies. But I'd have been a lot more upset if he won back to back league titles and got to the 3rd qualifying round of the CL. Imagine if you were a Shels fan and Fenlon got the sack in similar circumstances - then I'd be annoyed!Originally Posted by thecorner
I'm in agreement with you there. Nobody wants to see these players leave and it is worrying. Also worrying is George and JOF, two other players who came out in the papers about the facilities and who are more than likely behind Dolan on this. The new manager will have to talk to all these players and convince them that staying with CCFC is the way to go. He will have to be a great man manager. I think Lennox should explain himself to the players as well. If he hasn't done so already.Originally Posted by thecorner
not even gonna comment on that because we are not shels fans and no way could i imagine itOriginally Posted by sullanefc

but dolan said 3 years....could have waited til then
I support Lennox on this one.
Haven't been sure about Dolan for months...too much chatter and talk for my liking.
Originally Posted by thecorner

The new manager, whoever it will be, better deliver fast because I'm not too keen on hearing about another 3 year plan. I want a one year plan this season. The players are there.
