Sam Verdon has left us to go to Bray Wanderers to rejoin a person who knows him well ex Longford town coach Gary Cronin.
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
He didn't get much of a run this season so don't blame him for looking for football. He's probably not good enough to make much of an impact in the Premier Division but he's a good asset in the First. Trouble is that the same can be said for most of our current squad. They give everything they have but not many of them will be snapped up by a Premier team next year. I'm fine with that though as that's all we can afford at present.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Grimes and Dervin probably the 2 that look like they belong at that levelOriginally Posted by Longfordian
Aaron O'Driscoll as well but he's only on loan from Mansfield anyway. Lee Steacy maybe too.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
I haven’t seen much of Longford this season, how has Dean Byrne been this season? They last couple of years he definitely seemed like one that could make the step up to premier division standard but I haven’t heard too much about him this year
Stephen Folan retires from football due to injury,sad to see things like that..
Hasn't been great but he's had a few injuries. Had a couple of bad ones in recent years too which may be still impacting him. Definitely talented enough for the Premier Division alright.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Waterford signed Max Hutchison who is son of Don Hutchison the former Liverpool player and George Forrest who is son of the owner. A few more due to be signed.
Eric Molloy is apparently to leave as his short term contract is up with rumours of him going to Galway United.
Harps sign Jordan Mustoe ,English left back who’s been around it seems ! Sean Kerrigan and Ger Doherty confirmed aswell.
McEleney rumour

Heading out for a few pints tomorrow night with "the lads". Will keep everybody abreast of the latest rumours of the cr*p going on here atm.
Derry have announced his signing at the end of the season and still saying they are trying to get him before that. Perth is none too impressed.
Longford sign Dean Williams and darragh nugent from rovers.
Williams will probably get the immediate attention but nugent is an excellent player. Great signings for longford
Not Derry’s fault. Dundalk aware for weeks. Do they suggest Derry announce their signings round Dundalk’s schedule?
McEleney and Derry expected it to be July but obviously Derry not willing to fork out which makes sense as we are unlikely to achieve much this year anyway so save few months wages and a decent fee.
Dundalk furious about an early announcement of a pre-contract agreement. Ironic!
Would it not be awkward though for McEleney if for arguments sake Derry and Dundalk are both fighting for a European spot towards the end of the season, not saying he will be anything but a good pro but it would be hard for him I'd say.......
Won’t be hard for him at all he is a good lad and will do the right thing by downing tools completely.
Always makes me laugh this one. Sheppard used Dundalk to get more money out of Cork which they couldn't afford and he's the hero
Everytime I visualise the scene at dundalk I just have the song "My Way" in my head.
"And now, the end is near, and so I face....."
