Probably just newspaper talk. I’d be surprised if he was genuine candidate.

I hope that's a joke. Wouldn't trust him to carry the water.
2 back to back rookie managers is a gamble too far. Why he wasnt considered for an FAI role is a bit strange but SK didnt want him (or VP for that matter) involved in the international set-up.
There have been a few 'x has the job already' comments around town, each one a different name but all absolute that they that have credible sources
It looks most like Burton at the moment unless there are some imteresting applications. Leaves Giller and Matthews vulnerable unless maybe they can be used elsewhere with youth with community work thrown in.
I think I may have started the Eddie Howe rumour with a tongue in cheek suggestion that he'd be the man to chase if looking to England and it took some wings lol. Of course thatd be a serious appointment albeit damn ridiculous. Maybe there is a Graham Potter type guy out there but no easy find. It will be a comfortzone appointment imo. I think there may be another 2 seasons under new management before P6 up sticks if there is no progression with their entire own men appointed.
I read very good article on one of the loi websites of candidates in running for Dundalk job. Paul Cooks name was mentioned is it realistic though?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Cooke would be interesting. He was within court case (and a point) of keeping Wigan up. Maybe he is dissilusioned at Wigan so possible. It would still be well withn a LoI appointment and i cant see P6 going to that well. Again bar Burton as their man I doubt it would be one of old loi reliables. Though maybe Bohs should worry...

The appointment will give an indication of whether Peak 6 are sticking around or not.
If its an expensive manager on a decent contract then likely they are in for another year at least
If peak 6 have any smarts they will go all out for Keith Long, outstanding manager working on a shoestring. Although not sure Long will be interested he seems all in with Bohs and has a very good day job apparently.
Buckley would be an interesting one too, been there, seen it, done it appointment.
Keith Long is the best manager in the league. Shamrock Rovers have the spoofer Bradley in charge who thinks he can win a league with a team of midfielders and no strikers. Bradley is a s**t manger and only gets results because Rovers are over paying for a huge squad no one else (except Dundalk) can compete with.
I can only hope Dundalk's owners look for a big name and appoint a manager like Robbie Keane. Bohs are currently 2nd in the table on a fraction of the budget Shamrock and Dundalk are paying.
No chance Paul Cook is coming back here, his stock is high after how he handled the Wigan situation, he's waiting for a championship job to come up.....
RTE sport website reporting that Vinny Perth is very critical some comments of Jason MacAteer.
Jason McAteer in the running for Dundalk job.

It's alright for Shamrock Rovers. You are spending stupid money and making big losses every year with a spoofer manger who's out of his depth and yet you think that's ok.
The worst thing could happen to LOI is Dundalk appointing Keith Long as manager. He's the best manager in the league. Give him one the biggest budgets on the league behind only Shamrock Rovers and see what happens. When you give a brilliant manger like him and a huge budget it's only bad news for the rest of the League
