Ok - typo. Hailstorm/Rainstorm - both stupid names! But it's Hailstorm (which is marginally the more stupid name)

Dave Mackey linked to the Dundalks manager job, to help satisfy licensing.

We're well beyond the looking glass here but it's the off season and I think Rainstorm is more stupid. This has all the makings of another Bazunu/Kelleher (which is better) or Bohs/Rovers (which is worse) debate for the ages.

Great news about Markey, really happy so far as would not have been surprised seeing himself and Massey go. Doesn't leave much room in midfield for Ryan Brennan though so will be interesting to see where he ends up. Presuming Doyle and Brown are definitely gone if we somehow managed to keep Kane and one of Redmond and O Reilly we'd be in a much better position than I had anticipated. Interested to see what happens with Odumosu also , I know he's an U21 international now so he'll be in demand but I wouldn't be too upset if he does leave, he can be quite inconsistent and if he goes to Dundalk as rumoured I don't think he's the answer to their goalkeeping woes of late.

markey re-signing is massive thought he'd end up at shels. agree on odumosu, dont think hes a premier division GK tbh.

Dundalk have announced SOD. Which means one of two things - either a big wedge has been paid to Pats or an even bigger wedge will have to be paid when it’s been through the courts.

Dodge rant on Twitter, hopefully

Make of it what you will but I saw Chris Forrester drive down Emmet Road earlier in a brand new Lamborghini.

3/ Or it might be proven that nothing is due if he did not sign an extension and if it was only a verbal agreement.

The hard work starts now for Dundalk,might be playing second fiddle for a while to Rovers and Derry…..

**Nesta99** · 11/12/2021, 12:38 PM

I'll be ok with staying above the bottom 2 sides next season though that will mean going toe to toe with Ollie's probably already stated relegated Harps. Year 2 for sure mixing it with Rovers and Derry.

I know it’s either/or. I don’t know which. Do you?

**Nesta99** · 11/12/2021, 1:51 PM

Ive made no big claims, maybe its either or maybe its not

. A court case would certainly separate the wheat from the chaff or wishful thinking from employment law!

At last, something on which we can agree.

None of us here know the full facts obviously. However, I’ll just say this, it’s a bit strange to resign from a job which you’re not under contract to !

**pineapple stu** · 11/12/2021, 7:46 PM

Are Pats going to appoint Clancy manager yet?

You can resign from the position, serve notice to leave, a lot do that in contracting positions and take up a new role.

Will all depend on what or if anything he signed, if it was only a verbal agreement that he said he would extend or consider it after the cup final, I don't see any scope for compensation and its dead in the water.

If he signed something, that's completely different, and Dundalk should pay Pats compensation.

People resign from rolling contracts without being obligated to honour a fixed term period. Not suggesting it was the case here but there are times it happen-maybe to covering all bases as a legal contingency. Id be double checking the small print just in case after some of the claims and hissy fits on twitter especially.

**sbgawa** · 11/12/2021, 10:45 PM

Gareth kelleher and the stats ports boys are all multi millionaires, the compensation is irrelevant to both. The amount if any of compo is irrelevant.
