ECHO!!!! not complete but.....

[James]

aye i am indeed home soon face, but i stilll think its like an awesome idea, they'll get soem good matches out here against some pretty good pub sides and then night-life is good, bars stay open late (but not too late) its the perfect set up for any athlete

and a trip back out here to see city play next pre-season seems like a good idea now anyway. but i reckon we may be seeing price hikes on the potatoe pie and salad burger to pay for it..

*sigh*

Just got the echo. Read the front page - delighted! Read the back page - dreaming! Read P37 - back to reality.

I know we needed a more enthusiastic owner and I'm completly in favour of the takeover but I found one paragraph in the echo that kinda scares me:

"Lennox also pledged to bring in some new players for next season and team boss Liam Murphy, who has a two-year contract with the club, is already working on that project"

That to me means:
1) Liam Murphy will still be here next season.
2) He can go and find a great hoofer from England.
3) New strike partner for Noel!!!

Murphy still being here still leaves all the same problems we moan about before the take-over.

Nice one Lennox though!!!

This news has to be welcomed by all City fans. Turning things around is a tall order, but he should be well used to that from a Saturday night on Barracks St!

I'm especially pleased to see that his main ambition is to fill the Cross again.

Best of look Brian, we're all behind you


About getting good players from England, I know of a few - Joe Gamble, Roy O' Brien, Damian Delaney

Might this have any effect on Ollie staying or going?

Not on it's own, but if a good crowd turns up on Sunday and let Ollie know that he's needed.... it might help.

good point about bringing players from england - bring back roy´brien, joe gamble et al. as for ollie staying how knows?

[mouldymurphy]

id say he should get the chipper mobile and get rid of the other ones outside the ground ! an easy way to earn cash for the club

[Éanna]

hopefully what he means is that they will look for dave hills, kevin hunts, joe gamble, BBmurphys, leon mcsweeneys etc in England. Ok, it's a pity he hasn't given Murphy the boot, but hopefully that will sort itself out. I'm never gonna change my stance on MUrphy, but Lennox has just started and deserves a chance- he needs our support. Maybe the gunther thing should be left on the back burner until Lennox has sorted himself and the club out- til the start of pre-season maybe?
