Gerard Lyttle ? How in hell has he got that job? Dundalk are a shambles (and this coming from a Derry man!)

Incredible to think of all the signings Dundalk have made from underage positions. First team manager, first team assistant manager and General manager all came from a juvenile job with the goal of stepping up to become a European club in Ireland. It's a bananas way to try to raise the bar
Local radio, LMFM now confirming FG and his assistant Rossi have left, and told the players this am.
Still nothing confirmed from DFC yet on all 3 leaving, or even Keegan on Friday.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Watched an after match interview with Magilton. I wouldn’t particularly like the cut of his jib , he comes across as an abrasive character.

I’m a fan of Cawley he is a decent bloke to talk to , but IMO this is Hyperbole.
I have to say - I'll miss Filippo. He was a colourful character with lots of charisma. (When my wife first saw hm on TV, she said 'Who is THAT!?') He definitely brought a bit of 'oomph' to the league. I wonder how his career will pan out now...
Tbf to Magilton, after 20 years as a player in England (500+ games at a decent level, plus 52 caps), he also managed Ipswich and QPR.
And Michael O'Neill rated him highly enough to take him first to Shamrock Rovers, then to the IFA.
And his last job at the IFA was as a Director (not a coach), which presumably relates to his new job as "General Manager" at DFC?
Which doesn't necessarily mean he was very good at all of those jobs, but as CV's go, he at least merited consideration.
I have never nor will I ever allow facts to get in the way of sticking the boot into a falling successful club!
You're absolutely right though, he's had a good career and has been employed by much bigger clubs than a lot of LOI managers have.
Charge withdrawn, no background, may not look great but maybe he was stopping her doing any number of the things that a 14 yr old girl could that worry guardians. In isolation and no detail its poor form to try and infer something damaging about a persons reputation with this.
I wouldn’t necessarily tie a sporting legacy to facilities. I know a clubs stature is linked to its facilities but players achieve things on the field. I’d agree that Oriel is a dump as are many grounds in the LOI but it doesn’t tarnish their sporting achievements.
Might need to rename this thread...

Interesting to hear him talk about having a good relationship with the owners and still speaks to them. When everyone thinks he was shafted and the owners were interfering
