Seen in Sun today that Alan Reynolds will be taking up the Ireland U21 asst position as Jim Crawford wants him on board.
Its a quality replacement for Higgins if he does end up at Oriel. A little surprising that he'd be happy in a No. 2 role after being the main man elsewhere. Higgo was a big loss but as he was so highly regarded it was always likely that he'd have moved on in due course anyway. But there is a nice balance with Perth, Reynolds and Gill I feel. With the squad now bigger that was initially planned the coach numbers are needed. Cant wait to see Colovic and Oduwa play and see what they are capable of when the league kicks off again.
Its a very worrying time for Waterford. Seems like Power has just lost interest as soon as Delaney was ousted. Rennie was doing a great job considering the cutbacks, before Covid even. Laying off staff in an email and not letting the manager know first has been the proverbial straw it seems. Where to next with Waterford FC - Is Roddy sill on the lookout for the perfect job he always wanted. Sean Connor will always throw his hat in to the ring! We're a bit short on some entertainment currently...

Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Does Reynolds have another job (did he work in Waterford Glass years back) or is soccer his sole source of income?

Some man is Lee Power.will also put to bed a number of silly rumours that have surrounded my families commitments and ownership of the club.

His statement was Pat O'Sullivan esque:
"My friend of 20 years has agreed to give me a dig out for a few weeks.
This should prove all the naysayers that say I'm not here for the long term wrong."
Speaking of Paud and his wacky antics actually I don't know if this is the place or the national forum but:
Chedozie Ogbene is declaring for Ireland.
He's currently with Rotherham.
Limerick sold him to Brentford with an add on for an international appearance.
If he's capped (and he prob should be once to be sure to be sure) would Limerick still be entitled to the add on from Brentford? Or are all add ons gone when the player moves on to their next club? Or does it depend on the deal?
On an aside is there any resources on line with transfer rules? Was looking for the answer to the above and couldn't find anything.
Add ons would be gone once he moves again yeah. Limerick would be due 0.5% of future transfer fees per year spent with ye between 12 and 23 if I recall correctly.

Its a big name appointment but his managerial record has been very patchy. A ourneyman dropping levels gradually to National League twice I think and rarely gets much more than a season at clubs. Some might say that this LoI position is another drop probably. He could have good contacts for getting players if he doesn't do a John Hewitt, underestimate the league, and think that he can fill a team from lower Engish/Scottish/Conference divisions. There are far more Jeff Kenna type appointments with little knowledge of LoI than Paul Cook types. Backroom team needs to be well balanced and not a his staff only policy. Power may open the purse strings as what often tends to happen with a new manager in. Best of luck to him, liked him as a player, technically good and liked to get the ball down and pass it so hopefully his team will follow that style as he was wasted with RoI - I can still see that chip against Norway in WC '94 that looked like it was dropping under the bar, and smacking the bar against Italy which would have saved a few heart attack moments in never ending added time.
