    Would be on that and i'd put my home on it too.

    Dundalk need a good LOI manager and Healy is not our man! But i'd take Pat Fenlon away from them(Linfield). Unpopular at Dundalk but could turn out to be just what we need.

    Fenlon does not want to return to management and would not put up with the crap at Dundalk. So who are the good LOI managers that are available? I can't think of any

    I hear you McGonigle. I'm hoping that the long wait for an announcement from the club is a good sign. Seen Gary Rogers had a poll up on Twitter with Duff and Doolin on it. Few others saying Dave Rogers and ..........with Dave 2ic.

    EDIT - dont want Duff or Doolin near the gaff tbh.

    Agree, Duff has no experience so unless the owners and fans are willing to give him plenty of time it won't work. Doolin has proven he can work with the cream of the league and manage egos while spending big but that was a long time ago, there's a reason he hasn't worked in the league since.

    Rogers, no thanks, so who's left?

    The flip side is that anyone of the names mentioned might turn out to be a good fit. We just have to hope those in charge know the type of person required. Another worry...

    Does a new manager need the players blessing, are they part of the recruitment process? Tail wagging the dog stuff and never works. Not sure there is a better way of undermining a new manager before a ball is kicked than players having a big say in who a club appoints. Clubs appoint someone the players need, not the person the players want or next thing they'll be locking 'The Gaffer' out of changing rooms at half times or picking teams....

    If true, as Nesta says, that's just bizarre!

    Meanwhile, I wonder did Dundalk ever consider Matthew Tipton (played a few games for them a decade ago)?

    He did ok in his first management job at Warrenpoint (promotion), causing Portadown to appoint him on a 2 1/2 year, p-t contract.

    After another promotion for the Ports, they must be very happy with him, since they've just given him a new 5 year contract on a f-t basis:

    Oran Kearney's another IL manager who looks to have something about him.

    Have heard suggestions of Perth to Waterford. That'd be jumping from the frying pan into the raging inferno of basket case clubs for him, but doesn't look like he's getting any other offers.

    A few Dundalk players went on the **** in Belfast at the weekend that seemed to irk some fans on twitter, whether they were checking out a new manager is unconfirmed!!!

    Idiotic! They look to be oblivious to the pictures being taken so wonder who the eagle eyed person was that recognised them?

    There's always someone with a camera! Not very clever from them leaving aside how bad their form is just the fact I dont think they were even allowed to travel there by law at the time......

    its the intercounty travel bit that has them in trouble, if there was a picture of DFC players having a few takeaway pints outside a pub in Dundalk for a teambuilding event no one could say boo to them

    Unlikely that anyone will say boo to them for their Belfast escapade either.
    Belfast has limited enough charms but I am struggling to understand wtf they were thinking socialising around Shaftsbury Square for their well merited break from on field footballing achievement, if they were in Laverys there really is no hope for that team!!

    An FAI spokesperson confirmed to BBC Sport NI that the organisation is aware of the matter.

    "We are currently reviewing it with assistance from Dundalk Football Club. We have no further comment to make at this stage," the spokesperson said.

    NOR has an excellent piece on this Dundalk/Waterford fiasco in todays irish sun. Superb article. I heard mumourings but I didnt fully understand the whole fiasco with Dundalk players. Wonder did JM encourage this as I imagine hes looking for a way out of whole affair I imagine!
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    I'm surprised Big Jim wasn't up there with them - to claim asylum!

    Though whether that be "mental" or "political" I'm not sure.

    Maybe both?

    Thought there was another thread on all things Dundalk - but it seems the Magilton appointment mayn't be set in stone as yet, and the Perth rumours aren't going away.

    Also adds a note on budget cuts -

    Will be interesting to see who leaves - if it was players signed over the pre-season, then that fairly undermines the scouting network.

    Scouting network? I hope that was tongue in cheek PS. if it undermines agent(s) offering overpriced players to Bill that could be a good thing!

    Well I was going to put it in inverted commas but there's a couple of Dundalk fans on here who'd probably have leapt on me for that
