    Or maybe he was moonlighting so you won’t see him again

    Apparently he contacted the manager after and asked when his next game is, he got a text back ‘WHEN I NEED YOU’

    Interesting new player incoming for Dundalk, Indo is reporting this is a 2 year deal, with option for 3rd.

    https://www.dundalkfc.com/dundalk-fc...ovic-transfer/

    Always a gamble getting players in from so far away, but if he is anything like or hopefully better than Adjoran (Hungarian) who was with Dundalk for half of 2018, this could work out very well, I'd say its more for the european games, but he''ll have to settle first in the league scene, and that's not always easy.

    Is this the first Serbian player to have played in this league?
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    Oh f*ck! Dont mention the war and all that, ye'll send Dundalk fans back in to emotional breakdowns!!

    New signings are always a gamble but I think this is an example of where Dundalk as a club have progressed behind the scenes in even a few seasons. Tagbajumi was a waste of space and money for example and Adorjan was real quality but there seemed to be too many questions on his contract situation, could he be released from his contract etc, his parent club looking for money well out of our league yet when he was taken on loan there seemed to be serious hope, as much with the player also that it could be made a permanent move. I'd have more confidence now of Colovic being firstly more in the quality of Adorjan than Tagbajumi and is signing a multi-year contract. Smith in on loan looks a useful addition not to mention the early signings of Slogget, Patching and Leahy. There must be some building up of Peak6 connections with scouting. There are few ways to mitigate against 'freak' injuries but reading reports on some of the training injury prone players like Flores would indicate a step up in more individualised consideration of a players close/preseason needs.

    In general, since a decision was made not to bring in fairly high profile CEOs, there seems to be a calm efficiency with the work behind the scenes. The appointment of someone that should improve overall communication from the club, a local and a supporter even, is another example of an 'arrival' that will help develop the club off-field that isnt just about 'when is a new ground being built'. Nice balance of games from Div 1, I.L. and European teams. It's such an important year on the field and in fear of hexing us, I think this seems to have been the most settled preseason of this era. Hopefully all will be as calm and confident come November (and beyond with European games!!!

    Latter part totally agree Nesta.

    Dundalk are a local club and now with Martin Connolly back at the helm as CEO we are once more back in the community.No need for a brit flown in ceo who dosnt understand the scene in Dundalk (and who almost lost us a v lucrative shirt sponsorship deal) when the talent for the CEO position is right on the doorstep
    Gavin McL in with the media is huge also and a massive addition.Never would have happened under Devlin.

    Recruitment wise the addition of Colovic wouldn't have happened either on his watch.

    Totally agree with this. Living in Dundalk these days and last season there was a huge slice of the fan base who felt the community aspect of the club was drifting away. Money was p1ssed away on CEO's who had no clue about the club or the town and as you said almost cost the club one of if not the best sponsorship deal in the LOI. There was a lot of criticism of the media team too (plus the high profile run in with one of the town's most respected reporters) delighted to see Gavin brought in, should take the club forward in that regard.

    Ironic things is that Gavin being appointed probably happened because of Devlin ...

    It was mind boggling behaviour, what was the thinking there? I can only think that the CEO though he could play hardball and look for a lot more money from Fyffes - there are not too many multi-national companies queuing up to sponsor LoI clubs and surely he was told that. Was a bit classic LoI behaviour where there was a lot being gambled that would have ended up zip in comparison. It's not so long ago that we were sponsored by a local taxi company and a local pub. Even slightly larger previous sponsors it was doing pals a favour type stuff. Alienating local media outlets isnt the smartest either especially when a statement put out can be directly contradicted!? Anyway it was sorted out thankfully on both fronts and a whole lot more also.

    Was that partly the reason why Devlin left Dundalk I wonder?

    The Fyffes issue might have been at least partly during Brannigans time at the club? Devlin definitely had some unothodox ways with media wrangles, player contract negotiations and and wysterious scout-consultants. The issue that was there with Hoban's contract negotiations too, yes he wasnt prolific last season but surely its up to the team manager to make football decisions if the budget was there if the CEO was actually the one digging the heels in.

    Supporters and the wider sporting public may not have been clear on Andy Burton's role but Vinny Perth got to understand that recruitment responsibility was being moved towards Burton and the Devlin. It caused a lot of friction and unrest, not least of which was with Patrick Hoban

    VP refers to it in an Irish Times interview today

    That was the mysterious scout/consultant.
