Chatting to a few mates about it and we all had the same reaction, when Bucko left we all wanted Kenny to take over but now that it looks like he has we're all a bit underwhelmed

I think it would be less underwhelming if he had more of a track record of success to go on, instead he's just a middle aged former manager of Bray doesnt scream innovation or excitement

He did very well at Bray all things considered. Seems a solid appointment.

Solid appointment who will hopefully get us back on the right track next season , I’m happy with him getting the job.

Unfortunately I have to agree. Wouldn't say it's a disaster of an appointment, but hardly the most exciting either. Will most likely keep us in mid table mediocrity.

Disagree lads, Harry was excellent at bray and if he is supported at pats he could be a big success. Not as wedded to total football as bucko but not anti football either

If Harry Kenny is underwhelming to any Pats fans then they should have another look around at the LOI out-of-work available manager ranks and then maybe they won't feel as underwhelmed

Kenny is probably the only available manager out there who in their most recent job didn't end up sacked, doesn't have a history of question marks over him (yet) and knows what the club is about from a successful time with them as assistant in 2013

About 99.9% of Finn Harps fans had the very same reaction to Ollie Horgan, and he had even less of a track record to Harry Kenny.

And Ollie himself would tell you he’s done a terrible job.

Harry Kenny is a smart choice. If he is given a decent budget he has the ability to deliver a euro spot for St Pats

Yeah I agree, think H is a great appointment for pats.
It'll give him something to do until Bradley is fired for having us marooned in 3rd place( insert approx.due date here)

If he does well at Pats, it significantly increases the likelihood of him replacing the legend that is Bradley.

On the other hand if Rovers overtake Cork next season.......
