New manager appointed

John Gill today made manager with immediate effect

see here

Very good appointment in my mind. Been there before with DC and a good squad here to work with. Now all we need is a goalscorer of some description

not a bad appointment indeed, here's hoping he has a bit of cash available
to get some players in even if it is on loan till the end of the season
need someone to fill the gap left by flanaghan's departure, also a decent goalscorer is needed

gill seems like the person that will give our team the good kick in the hole it needs
one or 2 of the players have to go, and i think doyle is on top of that list

as well as a new manager, i believe we have been allocated some money
to help with our new stadium, as part of this Sports capital grant that the fai announced yesterday

He must be good. He was linked with Shamrock Rovers the other day.

well he did get the DC promoted a while back
he seems fairly passionate about what he does, which is what we need
along with about a 9 game winning streak (being very very optimistic there)

It's difficult to know what he can do with the current side to make things better. I'm hoping for some new singings...plenty of young Dubs...it worked for Longford.
