I mean....
Jesus
He's not even a good spoofer.
Have I read the reports correctly that this guy doesn't hold a UEFA Pro Licence? Such issues may have been quietly swept away in the past by the FAI, but surely under the new whiter than white regime this will be a huge issue for Dundalk's UEFA Licence?
It's ok - John Gill will cover for him.
Oh, wait...
I know he's gone, but if that was their intention or similar, surely it wouldn't be allowed by the FAI/UEFA. Using someone else as cover may have been poorly disguised previously, but I can't believe it would be allowed again?Originally Posted by pineapple stu
Aren't you allowed to appoint someone for 60 days or something like that without them having the Pro Licence? This lad will be doing well to last that long.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Yes, you have 60 days to appoint a replacement with the required licence.
Praying we can manage to avoid getting relegated ourselves so Dundalk and Cork can reignite their feud in the First Division next season.
In fairness the chap could be a competent coach. We have learned that alone doesn’t get you far in LOI or senior football in general. He will have to deal with a whole range of issues to be successful if he is able is the test he faces.
Interesting appointment. Very out there, but who knows how it'll go. He's a bit older than most for his first senior role, but you have to start somewhere. He has come across really well in his interviews so far, I thought.
Kenny did well in his first senior job and went on from there. Perth came to us from Malahide, so he hardly had the greatest coaching CV himself.
The bottom line is Perth had to go. The players hated him and it was getting worse as time went on. It's time for them to step up now. Hopefully they buy into what Filippo is doing and we can finish the season well. Hopefully we get a favourable draw in the EL too and get through at least one round.
Gill had to go too, really. He was still defending Perth to the players before and after the Sligo game. He really should have walked when Perth left considering they're buddies. Reynolds was probably sorry he joined at all.
Still, it's poor form by the club not to acknowledge Gill's contribution, especially after the way he exited back in 2008. They could have shown a bit of class and given him a good send off. They haven't even said he's left.
Presumably, Shane Keegan will remain on and fill the Pro Licence requirement. Never really took him seriously as a manager so hopefully he doesn't try to get too involved - just sit in the corner and realise your place as a box ticker.
Did the players really hate Perth?
What was the issue in general terms with him...
That does not tick the box. The old FAI regime have turned a blind eye to this in the past. The FAI and the UEFA licensing regulations are clear. It will be a test of the new regime if they continue in the same way. Especially when such has been raised as a major concern in the context of the All Island competition proposals, since such a requirement is strictly enforced, along with other license requirements by the IFA.
Read the piece in the indo about dundalk. The owner is crackers,by the sounds of it.
Where to now for dundalk?
The co sec resigning is a significant move. The co sec is a very vulnerable position in company law. The co sec went to jail from PTSB (or was it Anglo,) and was almost the only one to do so in the banking scandals.
I'd say he is protecting himself in the event of a disorderly pull out. Doesn't mean it's going to happen but probably sensible on his part as only Irish guy on the board.
Is there something I am missing here? How come Phil Hogan has to resign for not isolating for 14 days yet this Dundalk manager has not isolated in this country for the same amount of time?
I'm presuming he came from Italy and they're on the green list I think....
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
I'd be dead many times over if I had relied on presumption in my previous job. That said you might be right but I would like it confirmed.
The two Italians were home in Italy when they got the job and Italy is on the green list so no need to isolate.
Good to know, at least the folk in Cobh can relax on that front. The Dundalk team for cup will be fun. Might be their only chance at Europe. For Cobh I mean of course.
I barely be on twitter much these days(dont ask!). Whats link to Dundalk article pls?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
