    he's a shels fan. he's been delusioned that top stars of english football like Alan Moore are just waiting for june so they can get the boat over.

    i'd hate if doyle left, our goal should be getting to the point where players like superkev dont have to make the choice between ambition and loyalty. we're not there yet though.

    Simple answer.....Yes. It's not as if we're talking about going to Kidderminster or something.

    It would be a much higher standard (those who might argue should take off the blinkers) so I can't believe you'd even question it

    Why is he likely to go when he will never get to play uefa cup or champions league football with them and it's not a strech of the imagination to say that they could easily be fighting relegation to the 2 division in 2 years.

    Btw good luck tonight.

    Bigger crowds, better wages, better quality opposition every week, better chance to get noticed by a premiership team, possibility of getting promoted to the premiership.....

    I don't understand you Corkies at all,your always spouting about being a big club and better than everyone else then when the time comes to stand and be counted as a big club you go running.Why don't you lot have enough confidence in your team and it's future to try and convince Doyler to stay because he's already at a big club with a big european future.

    Would be a massive loss to lose Doyle. Hes till only 21 & definitely one of best players in the league. Alongside Hoolahan has most potential of any player in the eL.

    I think when a player is on fulltime wages no club has an need to sell any player unless they choose to do so. When a player only part-time then hard to stand in the way of any player making a living from football.

    Coppell was hardly going to admit on the radio who he was really interested so can't read too much in that. Anyone know if he was at the cross last night?

    IF he was to leav then city fans would truelly know the legacy of Pat Dolan & his brother.

    I'd be surprised if he left for Aberdeen as wouldn't offer same opportunities.

    Everything hes said up to now suggests he wouldn't jump at any foreign club but just the right opportunity.

    Doyler was in the Maryborough House hotel Sunday evening talking to Dolan for over an hour. Make of that what ye will...

    IMO there's a good argument that PD should stay out of city business at the moment, even if a lot of the players are still friendly with him. It doesn't help the club, or Pat himself...

    surprise. IMO, there's a good argument for Dolan ****ing off and not coming back.

    Be interesting if Dolans followers would still worship the big man if this was to be proven. I'm sure they'd find some excuse to justify.

    Well to be fair, Doyler is close to Dolan and has been for his whole career?
    He is bound to seek his advice, and Dolan would only be looking our for the best interests of Kevin himself...

    I think Dolan would be looking for Kev's best interest, but he should still stay out of it. to be honest, even commenttaing on City matches and criticising decisions a few months after leaving the club makes him look bitter and as if he's stirring.

    But when he's meeting players and advising them (believe me it wasn't a sociable cup of coffee) in public when there's rumours about interest from his brother's club - well, he knows that he is undermining the manager and chairman. IMO he should stay well clear

    if doyle does go and "joffy" does not return to his previous form ( which i doubt he will ). We can forget about challenging for honours this season and will be lucky to have setanta / european football next season.
