    Here, my friend, feast on this humble pie ,!,,

    Oh and tiktok, Im fully aware that not every Corkie succembed to Pat's rhetoric (particular praise to Peadar here...) but many of you did and some of the vitriol that was aimed at me, wws and others looks pretty good now...


    DOn't forget there were plenty of us who never bought into his crap but you have to support your team even if you don't think the best man is in charge, you must accept that the man who pays his wages believes in his manager.

    Had he won the el we would of been fecked as he would of been here for ages, thank goodness he was found out.

    Just on the Kevin Doyle thing, I personally would want to win something for once in my life no matter where it was, not jump ship. What do you do if you win nothing at reading? move on???

    should of stayed one something and then move on.

    I wonder does Pat get a finders fee.
    It's only just begun...............

    I think that he's trying to say that we could have gone boom and bust like St Pats.

    Would you like to be where Pats are now?

    I suppose there is the idea that better to have won (league) than never to have won at all.

    However Lennox has seen City (almost) fold in the past & seems to have made it his goal to ensure club is strong enough for the long term. I grew up in Cork with no senior football team & took many years before City were well established so understand his logic.

    You sir haven't got a clue.

    Rubbish Rubbish Rubbish, you have no idea how a business is run, or how bad Shels were in the closing of last season.

    St PAts were strapped for cash why, why why why. Are you just in denial.

    What do clubs run on, the love of the fans, get real pull your head out of the clouds and look at what was on the brink of happening. Mutiny amongst the player and the owner is this what you want because that is what was happening?

You can not say that this was not part of his job, now either he didn’t do it or couldn’t do it but these were thing in his realm of responsibility

    He didn’t win anything nothing at all, that the facts and he was never good enough to, so my statement that we would have been fecked relates directly to the fact that I have always said if he was doing the job right and Lennox believed in him then my support was there, that what ‘FANS’ do. Check my posts you’ll see that I said he should get another year as he had us in second place, it was before he went to bite the hand that feeds him. If it were a dog and it bit you you’d have it put down because it will do it again.

    The demand on money would have meant we would not be able to get the club into profit within the time frame of Lennox’s plans and then what would Lennox do???? He is a business man not a Sultan.

    But again you are not really interested in looking at the whole picture I take it?

    Full time football brings its benefits regardless of the manager.

    And since his departure he’s done more to drag himself down in my estimation then to endear himself to me. Why?

    For not walking away after getting the sack.

    For meeting with some player after getting the sack

    For not behaving as the perfect role model for the eircom league that he portrays he is.

    If that's enough for you, do you now want to look at your statement and retract it because it looks as if you responded to something without thinking about it.

    No nothing I have said above is rumour, it is all true and well documented, he was being well paid to deliver a title. He didn’t I said he wasn’t the professional we needed but supported Lennox
    We have the players to win the league, they were there last year as well.
    If the sack was given unfairly, then he should follow due process and go to the labour court, I honestly don’t care if the sack was given to him by carrier pigeon of by text if it had to be done it had to be done it’s not meant to be a time for good vibrations.

    Bravo Brian Lennox savour of Cork City.

    Actually, you could make the exact argument for keeping on Gunther! We were very very close to winning the Cup with him, which would have got us in to Europe so presumably he would have stayed on instead of quitting!

    At least Gunther took it on the chin and remained loyal to the club, that to me is the way to behave, especially if you are "Corks No one Fan."
    Yes he was rewarded with the Director Job but who here can say he didn’t deserve it after his commitment. You didn't see him do anything as low and despicable as meeting the players who are contracted to a club.

    Not in its entirety but like you,he has voiced a helluva lot of whats been on my mind .Obviously my opinions aren't valid,being in the pale ,and as such out of the loop ,but there is a awfull lot of that post that I agree with

    I think it is putting it nicely to say that I was sceptical of Dolan from the beginning, but it is time to get on with things and if certain fans make the choice to keep on wearing rose-tinted glasses when they remember his time in charge so be it.

    Cork City was only beaten in home game under Liam Murphy (?)...He brought in John O'Flynn, George O'Callaghan and let us play football at Turners Cross....what a legend
    We'll just forget that we only managed one win away from home. That's irrelevent sure...

    Normally I don't answer the rubbish posted but it was in a response to someone else. Do you know what it makes me do shout even louder for City.... City from the cross...
